ps: Does the impeding 'winter' affect your work, in the coal industry? Sure did when we hauled asphalt. Just curious, thanks!
Only slightly. When the temperature drops below 25 we have to treat our beds before each load so that slows us down a bit. Sometimes the mining machinery doesn’t want to cooperate when it gets cold enough. Road conditions are the major factor. Being that pretty much everywhere we drive is mountainous and curvy, and the weight we carry, special considerations are made. For the most part things run as normal but there’s some days you’d be more profitable staying in bed lol.
Thanks for the reply, Minnis! Yeah, some days in this whole INDUSTRY it's more profitable to stay in bed, haha!
Your side of the business intrigues me, though. I don't know anyone that runs a set up like yours. It's cool~!
Stay safe, & stop by more!

If enough people were interested I’d start a topic covering my day to day for a week or two along with trying to shed some light on this little cog in the American machine. I only haven’t because the forum seems to be more geared toward the OTR life so I keep to myself and try to answer questions that I have some knowledge on lol.
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
