    Exactly! I like the room. Im not a people person. Got to have my space. I worked very hard to learn enough to have my own truck, and working hard to keep it. Maybe one day Ill change my mind, but not likely. Ive helped other drivers secure their loads, and had some help me, but thats as far as it goes. Im not ready to be responsible for someone else.

    Aight. Mentioned it other places, but this is my personal thread. Picked up my first OD load yesterday from Cat. Was intersting. Not much overhang, but still required permits from Kansas, Mo, and Iowa with specific routing for each state. Also had to have the "Oversize Load" banners front and back along with 4 red flags. Wouldve had to go into any weigh station that was open, but all were closed. Thankfully. Was interesting to haul something like that for the challenge, and being something new for me. Just a load of flat steel hanging over the side of the trailer by about 2". Maybe one day Ill get another one, since I have the equipment to haul it now. Which Prime is paying for.

    O ya! I take pics of every load for future reference. Incase I pick up another, or one similiar and have a brain freeze. If the plan my FM has works out Ill be on my 3rd straight Cat load tomorrow at this time.

    No longer the Coil King I see. The Cat King arises. Did you get to drive them on the trailers or they do it?

    I live just outside of Groveport area in Lancaster Ohio. Bout 30 min. South of Columbus.

    I work at the Limited DC in Reynoldsburg Ohio, but Prime don't deliver there. :biggrin_2557: Wish they would though, I'm tired of seeing England guys wreck trailers.
