    Sounds like a good JOB! Pay anything? I guess oil field hands start out about $20 per hour? Driving should pay much better. Looks like a nice ride for day cab.

    That looks like the area northeast of Evanston....maybe close to the sand dunes.

    I love Kenworths. :) I don't know what he's making, but I know I was offered a job last year driving crude from the Cody, WY area to Colorado (5-600 miles each way) and those paid by the trip. Most drivers made three trips a week and pulled $1200 or so. Might suck in the winter, though. lol

    I might have to look for something like that eventually. Won't be too long before I'm ready to quit driving OTR, I bet. I almost applied for a job with Wyoming DOT doing website updates and work. But I don't want to go back to sitting behind a computer full time.

    Can't say as I blame you. Then again, I don't want to work for Government after spending 22 years serving this country. I just don't believe in double dipping like some people do.

    I could enjoy a job like that for a while. Cody to Colorado would be a good run, but it does get a bit nasty in the winter at time. Then again, I have seen it snow like mid winter in late spring around Casper. One minute is was clear and sunshine, then the next you could not see the highway. Ten minutes later, it was sun shinning again.

    Yea, I always liked those KW 9 myself. Long nose was my favorite. My last truck was a Freight Shaker though. FLD 120 425 Cat 13 speed, 390 rears; big sleeper. Nice, but not enough money to stay out there.

    Have to send you a paper I wrote later. I think you will appreciate reading it. Yes, I have also been in the business of teaching many people where the money is and it is a difficult task when most don't want to hear it. However, we both know that the only people who make money own and are engaged in business. Everyone else are just spinning their wheels by working for wages.

    Love to hear about some of the stuff you have written about. Perhaps we can swap lies later.

    I am very busy for the next few days trying to get a mining company up and running. If it works out, should be very lucrative and a lot of fun. I love the mountains anyway and it will get me out of the city.

    Hope you get to run up to Spokane sometime. Be great to visit a while.

    according to form sent to IRS this year, I earned money from them but wasn;t an employee. The non-existant bank the money was deposited to is fake, does not
    exist, but the taxes are real and have now to convince the us government I was not working for Covenant.

    Try that one on for size!!!

    I have heard stories like this before. I know people who needed to get their records straight and because of the way some of the government employees take care of business it is a real pain.

    It would be a Hillsdale address, but the mail carrier is too lazy to deliver south of the Interstate. So I continue with my Carpenter address. I've had the same mail carrier for the last 12 yrs. She is very good at what she does.
