    I mean, you are back. Not your anatomical back. I look at physical labor as getting paid to get exercise.

    There actually is a papermill about 2 hours south of me, but I'm not sure if there is that much logging around here. I am dead center in the middle of the Shawnee National Forest, and as you might expect logging is fairly restricted here. Nevertheless I'll look into this line of work as a possibility.

    LTL is a good option but they usually screen out drivers with bad attitudes and a problem past. They ARE NOT looking for a driver that wants to lecture their 50-100 year old company about how to do things and what is fair. If you want to do that, start your own company and pay the bills to do it that way.
