    About 70k, if it is still a tree, got offered a load of coils back to Colorado but they were a little short on the money, 2 coils and a skidded coil under 39k

    Anyone ever hear of a cat 938 variation that weighs 44k? Supposed to pick one up tomorrow in bfe and run it to Jax. Trying to decide whether to order permits for it? I can't find any specs for a variation over 34k. Have to decide whether to permit it and leave the bucket on (permits will run me like $175) or take the bucket off and hope the thing actually weighs 35k

    Why not bill them for permits, that way you got them if needed. And if you don't need them it won't be such a big deal?

    The rate is already very good, just trying to not donate to the states of FL and AL if I don't have. Just selfish that way I guess.

    Man, I feel your pain. It would seem that we are in the exact same boat. My wife has basically told me to either come home...or don't. She sure doesn't have a problem spending that $$$ tho, and she sure does like her new truck.

    I love it out here on the road, I also love my wife. Sometimes life throws you into situations where no decision is the right one.

    I wish you the best in whatever decision you make. As for me, it looks like I'll be joining the droves of worker bees...humpf.
