    (No offense/not looking to argue-)

    You seem to haul a lot of steel, coils, bars, ingots, etc. Was that by choice? Was that the plan when you started out? I've never seen anyone that consistently hauls the roughly same freight so often. Just curious, it's cool no matter what's on the wagon

    Don't know if you don't ask :)...

    Not really planned but.... worked out good for me, 99% of what I haul is for a local steel plant. Usually I haul right back into the plant, if nothing coming back I get a round trip rate.... these trucks don't run for free ;). I started this company with a side kit on my trailer, better than folding tarps to a point but, time is money so the Conestoga was a win win for me. And none of us are getting any younger :(:D. I do haul other things occasionally.

    Im reading your mail now. I thought it was pretty cool you always seemed to have smaller, easy loads on.
    Keep up the good work :)
