We're on the brink of something huge, and heavy transport is part of the deal.
Folks here are a wealth of knowledge, and that's a huge benefit.
It helps me understand both sides of the equation... I need stuff moved, and I can't do it myself. I need a driver with the means and ability to do it safely, smartly, and at a fair dollar that works for us both.
I don't want to bend any driver over a barrel, but I also don't want to spend more than necessary.
Understanding both sides helps me make an informed decision that's beneficial for us both
It's unlikely I'll ever be a professional driver, but it's sure that I'll need professional drivers with my ventures.
The forest is my calling.
