    We run 7-8 axle setups up here in the northwest hauling 32 tons per load. Flour mills are located in Spokane Wa and we run to Seattle, Portland, Eugene, and Bosie.

    Im a company driver so I dont have all the maintenance headaches. And yea the extra weight is hard on the 450 cummins we have but the trucks and trailers are built for it.

    Its times like this I realize how much I like my job. Been sitting at home the last two weeks. Collecting unemployment. Lack of work.

    But I'm thankful for the break in the grind. I've been going nonstop since August, with the exception of the holidays. Soon enough, I'll be busy, and counting the days until vacation.

    Look at it as an early installment on your retirement while you're still young enough to enjoy it.

    Oh I'm loving every minute of this! Started to clear around the property lines today, there's fields all around my house, and the property lines are grown up with brush. We bought this place two years ago, and this was a project I've been threatening to do. Got the lawnmower started today after sitting since October. Had lunch with one of my friends from high school I haven't seen in a while.

    So yeah, I'm loving this!
