I like reading this stuff!
I think most guys have got to at least give HHG a little thought. It sounds like driving has actually got to be the lesser half of all you guys do. Dealing with help, for instance. Maybe it's ok but I can imagine pulling my hair out at times dealing with all different attitudes and competencies on each and every load.
I was a furniture helper many moons ago (20 years) so I have an idea what HHG is like. I never actually did the loading myself, it's a real art. All this was back in the day when I thought, 'sleeper sofa on the third floor, c'mon, you get the other end, grab it, let's go!' All the veteran guys wanted to figure out how to push everything on four wheelers and do nothing to jeapardize their backs.
A couple summers ago I did a job with Labor Ready. 'Labor Ready!', this is a real confessional now. Anyways, the trailer had a leak in it and this expensive cloth sofa had water spots on it. Man, did this lady cuss up a storm giving these guys hell!
The money looks really good, you know, but... Who knows!?
