    Check out Finnegans Garage on youtube. He's one of the Roadkill guys. He has a Miller rig(IIRC) that he uses and he explains how to set it for different metals and thicknesses. I'm wanting to learn how to weld Aluminum and Stainless once I get a good welder. With my 10 year old cheapy wirefeed Craftsman, I'm very experienced at making welds look like popcorn. :p

    Simple. I will not pull for anything less than $2 a mile. My current 30-day rolling average is $2.53 on all miles. I tried to not run more than 2500 miles a week. This keeps my fuel cost and maintenance down. My trailer is paid for in my truck payment is less than $600 a month. I do not Finance anything through the carrier, as a result I have no weekly chargebacks.
    There really is no secret.
     
    Vic Firth, bigguns, Roberts450 and 5 others Thank this.
