    They must be running RGN's also... Rates suck in the south.... However, your neighborhood is looking pretty good right now....

    I hauled some pipe to some of those wind energy locations up in the hills down near farmington PA right on the WV border and I'll tell ya what, you guys hauling that OD stuff up through there have some big ol balls for sure! Some of those roads were as bad if not worse than the roads I've been on trying to get in and out of gas wells.

    This was at a site in Maine.
    Story is a car was coming back to the unit and his front car never said a word.
    Driver swevered over and the auto steer went right and took the rear over the shoulder and took it into the ditch. The king pin broke so the trk. and driver did not roll.
    The Pa. job I hear is a night mare also.
    Allready had a car run into one of the towers. They broke one trailer and one drive line
