Hey! Thanks. I appreciate it. Yeah, I took a little vacation in the land of fun and sun, and now I'm back. I posted a thread in 'Rules and Regulations and Dac...etc' which explains it a little better, if you care to read it.

Yeah, you rattled off the one part about running a yard spotter I'm not looking forward to, and, honestly, hadn't given much thought until you just mentioned it.
Kinda reminds me of how much easier I thought it would be when I came off the road, and switched to driving local, and how happy I was that I wouldn't have to throw tarps anymore... I somehow overlooked the part where I'd be loading and unloading sometimes up to ten times a day. But I can't complain about that. Having to play chauffeur when there was no equipment to be moved, on the other hand.. now that was bad. "Can you pick my kid up from school?". Sounds easy enough, I know, but I swear that kid had it in for me. And that's why I don't plan on having any. Anyhow, can you give me a quick rundown on what you do in a day of yard spotting? Do you spend all day moving trailers around, or are there other tasks assigned to you.. stuff like that?
