Golfhobo- if you plan on hauling crude oil or even working in the oilfield up there you'll definitely be throwing iron! Most of the oil rigs and various wellsites are on some back roads that either the oil companies have made or farmer John gave the oil company permission to use. Some of these roads have no business having a big rig on them especially weighing upward of 105k lbs. My gf called them pig trails but I never saw any pigs using them.....go figure! When I first got up there in winter of 2010 there were nights I had to chain up 4-5 times in a 12 hr shift just to get into a oil rig site, their access roads are usually the last thing they worry about once their drilling for that oil. So needless to say you gotta do what you gotta do to get in that site. Been pulled up 10% grade fully chained by a front loader because there's no possible way a truck could even come close to getting up that hill. Like I tell everyone....the money is great!!!! But your definitely gonna work for it, it's not just handed to you. I wouldn't discourage anyone from going up there and trying to improve theirself. I did, made me a better driver and got lots of experience I would of never got down here in the south. I learned lots of stuff about trucks and how things work. Now that I'm down here in south texas they do have oilfields here too! I think the only thing you'd have to deal with down here is the heat. Nothing a little hydration couldn't handle. Well I'm off to work now, hope everyone's staying busy!

I do love what I do and unless Peter Jackson comes knocking on my door with a 7 or 8 digit movie offer, I'll be doing this until I retire.

Doing well, Hogster. But oh so busy. 4 kids out of school now and into or getting into college...3 to go. 3 books out...another one in editing with my publisher. And of course, still living to good life in the trucking industry.

I would love this to make the big screen! …. and I would also like to get a part in it, so Shania can see me in action. ![]() Is the 3rd book you mention you have published, Sadistic Shorts - Tales from the Devil's Drawers ?? ( <<<<< I see what you did there )Can you give me the address again to order the books? Thanks! I don't use Kindle, and prefer the paperbacks.
