    Rollin Coal is right on. Im basicly off from xmas to mid march. However I do jump on a load that is good occasionally. Im always ready to roll,insurance ,authority, and all. Living in the northeast is a good spot to be when a customer or broker goes into panic mode lol.

    Hey if the Freakin IRS can take a vacation on my dime then we should be able to also. 1 hour per day working, while sipping a cold one or nursing yesterday's hangover should be good for a tax deduction. Maybe even take some picks of yourself mulling over the books while in the hot tub sipping a jack and coke.
