    I reckon it all depends where you live, I get home almost every weekend except this weekend. I think this makes 4 that I have missed in a year. One was a breakdown.

    I have heard good thing about Halvor, Don't forget Jeff Foster, Monson and Timberline Express all up in the Twin Ports.
    There is a small company over in Frederick with nice looking equipment but I can't remember the name.

    Silverstone is the company in frederic. they told me they were not hiring at the moment....

    I got termed from foster after a leave of abcence but thats a long story.

    I have looked into halvor and they are on my list, the only reason I did not mention them was cause I was just wondering about the companies I didnt know anything about....
    Thanks for the heads up about Monson, I forgot about them. I will give them a call. I heard that timberline was bought out by halvor. but I am going to call them to make sure.
