Yep all his trailers,drop & hook, back haul is either loaded or returning empties to CA. I didnt get into detail on how and what pay is because I have not bought a tractor yet, I need to get something I can eaisily convert into a dump if I need to,my current truck is a 1979 too old to put a fifth on and run to Pheonix. But anyhow running under his authority,he said that the guys doing the CA,AZ thing avg 3-4 trips and have some local work mixed in. I am just looking at it this way, with my dump truck I made about $600 a day burning 30 - 100 gal of fuel a day depending on the job, so about $3k a week. So if I do the same money going to AZ and burning 100+ gallons a day I'll be making less profit. I don't think I will have to be in Phoenix overnight but it will be a really long day, my main concern is no one to watch my son after school and if I am putting 10-12 hrs in a day it will be hard on him,and the whole reason for getting up in the morning is to make his life better.
