    They are out there (well a few up this way). From what I understand the folks that do a lot of lumber tend to have them in the fleet.

    Are you looking for a new company, or just looking to get out of tarp work?

    Both. Want to find something western 11 , prefer conestoga, to get away from tarping , but i have my options open. Might be willing to get away from flatbed all together if it fullfills what im looking for

    Well good night all. Be safe.

    To the conestoga thread. I dont remember whom the poster was. Yet there was a person here in these forums that ran primarily out of Michigan. He was a canadian hauler of lumber. Might have been hauling the strand board out of ontario ca. He was looking for some Americans to do stateside hauling.

    Too tired to deal with his. I am off to bed. Deal with this maybe in the morning.

    Ive got the music idiot beside me tonight. Last night it was the mexican speaking broken english on the bluetooth right outside my sleeper, the night before it was the high idle fan every 22 seconds in 58 degrees, tonight i get the music bozo. if this pace keeps up ill be able to collect all the annoying trucker collector sets including the guy with the air spitter that spits every 17 seconds and the rust bucket reefer that rattles ur teeth out from 3 trucks down. I love trucking :D
