    The hardest running guys around my area are hauling coal for sure, those buckets run like crazy, I tried my hand at it but there wasn't enough money involved to be worth the risk...

    worked for a rock and roll company out of arizona..Rock tours are mostly set up in the morning..sleep rest of the day and drive all nite to the next gig..they use to have some great perks...Overdrives..Hotel buy outs...but if you get on a long and i mean long tour ( i was with aerosmith/fuel/kiss in 2001) i didnt see vegas for almost 12 months.. We did two shows at the mgm grand garden and thats the only time i saw home... Its not what everyone thinks it is anymore..

    If you work for a moving company you know getting the stuff delivered ASAP isn't a priority . In most cases the load doesn't go straight to the new home . One household won't fill a semi and straight trucks don't go OTR . The load is taken to a warehouse , unloaded , crated , then loaded on a semi with other household's crates . Then it is shipped to another warehouse , uncrated , loaded on another truck , and delivered .
