    Brown pays pretty well. I do alright. The beginning sucked, but we're through with that now.

    Yeah, I was thinking the log haulers I see in South Georgia and Alabama don’t appear to be earning that kind of dough .

    most of em live in rickety shacks and mobile homes etc with the Pitts trailer and an old Mack parked in front .

    Nobody in trucking makes less than half a million a year. Reminds me of the Iron Skillet counter.

    Your best bet might be to haul Pacific Ocean water to the Atlantic Ocean. Heard they’re paying good in the name of more diversification in the ocean water.
