    What are you hauling? I'm hauling carbon from Alcoa Wenatchee to PACMET in Woodburn. They started me out with this small trailer and will move me up to a 40 footer once I learn the ropes.

    I'm local in the Bend area so anything that fits in that tub. I prefer it over most trucking. I don't have to tell you the horror stories about tubs! Just like running the Cascades. You can do it hundred times but it only takes once. KEEP EVERYTHING AWAY FROM YOU WHEN THAT TUB GOES UP! You are now a tubber.

    Got it, some of the carbon chunks we haul weigh as much as 1000 lbs each so I sure don't want one dropped on my toes lol. Bend is my old stomp'n grounds, went to high school there in the early '70's.

    Oh believe me I know, still have friends and family there abouts and get over there a few times a year. I moved away in 1980 and it's even changed a lot since then. Hauled barkdust over there and chips back quite a bit for Walsh in a walking floor last year. Back in 1970 they didn't even have a McDonalds yet, just a small mill town of about 9000 people and when Mickey D's came to town it was a big deal lol.. Look at it now!...frick'n yuppie town USA and 100,000 people.

    Yeah those beamers in the round abouts are almost as bad as the spandex crowd(bicycles). It's still not a big town/yet. Miss the old town. Tom tom/jakes.
