    Often thought about getting into logging. But where my family lives in arizona there is no logging industry but huge sand and gravel industry. Where i used to live in arizona up in the eastern mountains there is a logging industry but very small. The thing that turns me away from staying in arizona is the weather. It is unbearable to work in the heat all summer

    You have a leg up on a lot of people at a young age as you've figured out that you need to be true to yourself.

    Okay, it was just an idea. I thought you lived farther north. One thing I've noticed about those logging and construction jobs is that once a guy gets off the truck and starts running machinery he usually doesn't go back.

    Here that would be illegal.
    I forget the exact length, so please don't quote me on this, but around 260" or 270" is the maximum for a tandem, tri drives can be about 20" or so longer.

    You don't have to be that local.
    How about in between.

    Gone for up to 5 or 6 days, then back for a couple.

    Fuel is a good gig.

    Problem is i have tasted the money and freedom of being an owner op and would take alot out of me to have to be a company driver again . with the company i currently am leased on with i could definatly do runs like that. But i often find it difficult to get freight out of arizona for a good price.
