    Yep. North Star Ranch. I’ve met one of the Owners. Seemed like a Good Guy. Their Drivers tell Me they stay busy. Get reloaded right away, run 3000 miles a week. Good long runs. You have to figure, cost of benefits and Truck sitting, while off might be a problem. If you got on the healthcare exchange and had your own benefits, and we’re willing to slip seat, might be able to work out a part time gig. Picking when you work. Just a thought. Unless a Company is self insured, the Truck Insurance cost alone is high, so the Truck has to stay busy to justify coverage. My Truck/Trailer costs Me $75 a day on average, if it works or not. Half of that is Insurance, plates etc. Other half is average maintenance @$1000 per mo. Usually it’s less, because I watch every penny, do a lot myself. Which costs lost revenue. It’s rarely more. But $1000 mo. is realistic.

    Too much onion in there for it to be "truth".

    Blackie seems to be working, great might be a stretch, ok we'll use great.

    Most of my vibration is gone, just very very slight, so think we going to belay those steer tires.
