    If I could do it all over again, I would have gotten into it sooner and stayed with one company instead of bouncing around.

    Its 530 in the morning, ive been up on a well pad for 2 hours now. Im on the top of a mountain in west virginia sitting in my truck. There is a breeze and the sun will be coming over the mountain soon. Would i rather have a normal 9 to 5 job? No stinkin way. Youll love it or hate it, i just plain love it !!!!!

    I'd do it again the same way . No paying thousands of dollars to a CDL mill just to get a CDL and no starting with a BFI going with a trainer for 4 to 6 weeks to work for wages they were paying 2 decades ago .

    Almost heaven , WV . :biggrin_25519: Several times I woke up at Jane Lew to find the roads snow covered . Wasn't really loving that but still prefer it rather than the left or right coast .

    I haven't been driving long but I run hard every day so the dispatcher keeps me going nonstop while the whiners sit around and I am on my way to making $60k this year. (not including my website earnings which make a good amount as well).
