    GE,

    I currently own a coal truck in southern Indiana (20 miles north of Evansville)

    But coal is beginning to be really iffy and kinda wondering if there is something similar that could be done.. Really not looking for OTR right now unless I can convince my GF to quit her job and come with me.

    Nothing could possibly be as hard on equipment as hauling coal. MPG is about 4.5 right now and mines are horrible on tires so I think the only place to go is up.

    Thanks!

    Gibco and about ten other companies are hauling auto parts for Toyota. In Indy some short haul van carriers: Frontier, Magnum and Trancorr. If you have your own authority Bestway in Vincennes has some used dry vans for a pretty decent price I heard. Potatoes will be starting in the Charleston, MO area the end of this month. Then they move to Vincennes, and watermelons in August.
