    Go play on the hard water for a few seasons with the right crew and you could buy that beachfront...

    I'm about as sensitive as a concrete block.
    Nobody laughs harder at me than I do.
    I have a very unusual sense of humor, I'm told it's an acquired taste.

    Tx and Ok I’m cool with, it’s everything west of there I’m not excited about. I’ve got a wife a two kids. I like to stay with in a day, day and half ride home if something goes wrong

    Eloy used to have a real bad drug problem and it was advised if you weren't from around there to not be out around there after dark. But this was also early 2000's.

    Business wise it’s not that wise of a play. For me anyhow seeing as I have no contacts out there. Except last year I was bribed to make 3 trips out there.

    I'd probably live out there if I could. Family needs come before that desire though. It's okay here but I like it a little better out there. Truthfully there's not a lot of difference in some ways anymore. Crime and drugs are basically everywhere. I'm not even sure if there are any protected pockets left now.

    No sir, that setup is here at home on a tilt over base. HOA doesn’t allow permanent antennas. It’s 10 feet off the ground on an Imax 2000 with a choke to keep from talking through everyone’s stuff (tv, toaster ovens, baby monitors). I talk up to 70 miles with just the radio. Then when skip is rolling, I turn on my big supply and flip a switch.

    How to skirt the HOA (rendneck ninja edition)

    I’ve always heard freight west of I35 is cheap for many O/Os who don’t have west coast setups or they don’t have contacts out west to make the time worthwhile.

    So, naturally, everyone runs east outta Chicago. Or whatever the lane of their choice — but they stay east for the most part. Texas is supposed to be cheap for open deck as well, along with Florida...

    That’s just what I hear as a company smuck. @PoleCrusher will say Mercer has no freight outta LA that pays worth a ####... then I look at what we do outta LA and it’s night and day in comparison.


    Connections are everything it seems.










    I don’t know what the meaning of this post was meant to be... sorry... :/
