    Dave has a kick ### operation going. But I judt can't do dry van. I'll even concede to running a Cascadia because I know the money is good. But Im stubborn and a flatbedder through and through.

    Yeah they have been good to me so far. Theres only 1 recruiter and he is a good guy , i can get u his number for sure. This company is straight shooters, no bs with them , which i love. They leave u alone and let u work. The agents have all the freight and its all brokered stuff but the rates seem to be above whats out on the spot market. But idk ive only been here 2.5 months so its barely my first impression, but so far so good. But i do know they will put u in a truck ASAP . Stepdeck or flatbed ur choice

    You ever get stuck up around central IL, just outside of Peoria, my mom and her husband have more than enough room for a truck and a shop large enough to pull into.

    Its actually pending -40 tonight in spots dakotas to Iowa.

    Winter is for the weak who cannot take the heat in the kitchen. //tease.

    I don't mind this winter TOO much its not a normal winter here in the south. In fact I think spring is coming, I need to examine a couple of trees closely tomorrow but Its coming.

    I am sure Dave can find a skateboard for #5 if you cant stand pulling a van.
