    No I went out to West Texas and worked in the oil fields moving drilling Rigs for 9 months. I made aawesome money and enjoyed the work, but had some family issues, so I came back to SC and I'm back to being a box jockey.

    Just be careful. All we do is heavy haul and its always a headache. There is never an easy day. It pays well but it sucks dealing with permits and escorts and DOT

    If it were easy then everyone would do it!

    WAIT a MINUTE - everyone IS doing it now... and the rates are getting killed!

    As difficult and expensive as it is to do and as low as the rates are going if I didn't have customers I'd stay away from it.

    Keen has CAT contracts, and plenty of work for the next two years.

    Hauled a few loads for them, they treat subs like trash but hey it paid the boss that pays me. I have no clue how it would be driving a company truck for Keen.

    I noticed all Keen trucks are governed at 65mph...that's awfully slow when your running around empty.
