    Ahh cement. Heavy stuff. Makes for a lower center of gravity. What I liked most about hauling bulk was that it was always one drop per load as opposed to freight.

    Heavy indeed. We haul 100k in Maine and 99k in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The trailers we use are set up pretty good so the center of gravity dose stay pretty low. Sometimes I do miss hauling P&D though. 20 stops a day helps you stay in shape. The cement business is a good way to get fat lol.

    Northwest rains slows us down in the winter so decided to do something that my artistic background can be utilized. I am opening a custom shirt printing shop in January. Hopefully you will wear one of my designs at some point!

    haha, thanks! The only rough part is when it's really windy and your working up top. The views are worth the height!

    Yeah I'm not a heights person. And I've seen a couple documentary videos about being on top of those suckers... no interest. LOL I understand the wind up there gets nasty at times.

    Yeah they're certainly not for everyone. In the winters here, its damn cold working at these heights. I'm glad that I decided to resign from working on them now lol.

    On the BP spill? Yeah, our subs were down there working on capping the well. 99% of our products are used in subsea drilling/production.
