    Why not get your own numbers and help flood a already flooded market. since the oil field work dried up they all hooked to grain wagons and the rates dropped down the well. You could try Oakley they run up that way cant tell you much about the company other then you have to have a very light truck and be clean shaven. I have the truck but hate to shave lol
