    Is it just me or does it get boring pulling the same stuff....over and over and over again?

    I pull granite north and then pretty much shingles and lumber around the northeast with very few brick and steel tubing loads.
    I'm just saying it gets quiet annoying. especially in the northeast!

    I think the boredom level is directly related to how much $$$ your making.

    I do ok and am not bored.... And I do the same run 9-10 months a year. And I've done it for 7 years.

    It's kinda nice to know where to stop and where every pot hole is ......

    But that's just me I guess.

    I'm really surprised the granite is steady without that I'm not sure we would have any NC drivers. it consistently goes to DC and columbus Ohio, although I'm headed tout Chicago now a little change of pace
