Well h*ll's bells, if you already have a guaranteed $65/hour you don't have a problem, man! You already talk to truckers so you can easily find out what they pay for piece work.

I'm in no physical condition to be climbing around a rig, but you're right...I know there's a demand. I just would rather stay in my shop in the warm. If you're a younger guy or in good shape you might end up making a real good living off the trucks.

I don't know that much, actually...I just have a decent ability to put what I do know into written words. I learn something new almost every day and that's the best part for me. Good luck to you.
