    Good thing they don't drug test our thoughts, eh? :D

    Cause with that much tarp, I'd hate to see the match you would use to light it.

    Oh I've got some friends that are so demanding about where they go what they haul and when they go, I just tarp it chain it flag it, whatever to get the job done and get back to do another round, while they're sittin at home being picky about what they haul I'm out turnin and burnin, maybe they know something I don't, but if the wheels ain't turnin I'm not makin money

    i look at the overall average, i have goals for the month, quarter and the year. as long as i meet the yearly goal i am a happy man. i work even when i dont need the money cause one day i will.

    cluck, it is the reason why you can have 3 guys pulling the same loads at the same place for the same price, one will live like a king, one will right in the middle living a comfortable life, and one will be one step ahead of the repo man and complain how everybody is screwing him.

    you have some guys who instead looking for a steady avg, they want it all at once, they end up running in circles chasing their tail.

    I suppose you're right, I just like to run which I thought everyone who drove, drove that way it didn't take long for me to learn that's not the case, and I take advantage of it, Ive got a lot to learn about a lot of things, but I do know, if you just do it and don't whine or complain, and handle your problems like a Adult and no like a screaming baby, people will call you back, or theyll tell their friends about you and pass your name on

    How low do you guys hang them boxes. How much clearance between the ground and the box or box mounting frame? - if you have any on the bottom. But, I'm mounting them on the flatbed.
