At one time the county where i live was noted as the owner operator capitol as we sat just below the steel mills and just on the north side of the coal fields . I started pulling dump hauling coal slag salt and alloys local never any feather west the Toledo and nothing east of Pittsburg and nothing south of the ohio river . Drove day cabs as normally ya were home at night only for a few hours but home never the less .

That two grad i paid extra for my trailer over what my buddy paid paid for itself in short order when we had to haul legal . Most of the time there was what ever we could fit in the wagon . Standard instructions to loader operators if we were not loading ourself was fill her up and make her look like a dairy queen from ft. to back .Haul heavy haul fast and look light.
