    It's really spotty. Some weeks are as busy as I care to be and others I don't do anything. But I'm real picky on where I go, If I have to wait due to lazy people I don't go back. Also I'm really heavy so I don't usually take legal loads because they wouldn't pay very much (43,000 net max). I know A company here sent a long WB pete with a 7axle conestoga to Alabama with a 34k hot load. He almost made it down there before a cop stopped him and asked if he was lost.:biggrin_2559:

    So did the cop point you in the right direction?:biggrin_25522:. Oh wait, it couldn't be you, you get homesick if you get over 200 miles away from home...:biggrin_25522:

    Jfaulk99, so when steel isnt moving do you try to find other freight for the 4-9, or do you just let them sit?

    Oh it wasn't me, it was your brother Bowling. I don't get homesick, but I don't usually go 200 miles from home unless it's on an airplane.:biggrin_25522:

    I've got other trailers so if things get real slow I can look for other freight but around here most other freight is real cheap.

    Wow, wonder what the story behind that one is? I bet Reitnouer would have liked that one to have been cut up for scrap before anyone took pics of it! :biggrin_2556:

    i just wonder with the covered wagon set up, how do you go about getting in it once everything is all covered up. i kinda asking how do you go about geting the first panel out so you can get in it and puting the last pannel in and putting the tarp on and closing everything up? and about how long does it take to fully breack everthing down.
