    Well you are being "trained" to do the job. You can presumably stop training and go somewhere else. The descriptions above are accurate. After seeing more than a few of them completely blown over and on their roof out west, I decided I didn't want to be the guy trying to keep it upright.
    But you may love it, who knows...

    I ran am for for a number of years. More times than not its one way load, and back without one. I paid my guys 60 cents a mile a n d 10 bucks to change tire. I stopped pulling them in 2008. There's a reason for the blown tires, unequal air pressure. Air up the tires before you pull one, be amazed at the results.
     
    d o g Thanks this.
