    Yeah usually the money is made when you’re on the trailer not in the truck

    All the money in Trucking is always in the next Load you haul.

    I live right on the border in SD, the border fence is 1/2 mile in my back yard (6k acre ranch). We have those ######## coming over all the time. We normally just chase them on quads until BP gets there. Its "fun" when we do catch them tho. They are always so happy to see BP after we "talk" to them a bit.....funny how that works. Lol. The coyotes in those groups are the ones who make the good money.
