    So you're not with RAM anymore Tobias? My buddy over at Valley said they bought some hopper bottom type trailers to haul sand in, is this a new way they're doing it, are they able to do it without tanks anymore?

    John's a good guy to work for. Tell Mark truck 116 that Zach said hello next time you see him. You'll be happy over there, it is like family.
