    First of all, thanks for
    your service. from the husband of a 30 year air force vet. She had a hard time out of the service getting insurance. Nobody in the patch could get her insured cheap. They didnt care about her service and military license. We ended up buying a truck and team driving hauling crude. Rates dropped after 6 months. She retired again and is busy chasing grandkids. I still haul crude as an owner op. The company is out of Texas. I work Oklahoma and haul mostly gas plants. Money is defineately climbing. Most of the guys set a dollar amount. Once they hit that amount, they go home for a week. I go home 3 or 4 times a year. My wife comes here.

    That dang 1845 garbage is back in BL too. Had one tailgate me down 67 and try to push me along lol, ( key word : "try" ) and those dudes with the sand box are back. Ole RCSO having a field day lol.

    I'd steer him towards oil vs sand. I think Plains is hiring , Standard is too.
