Ceiling fans do make a big difference, they`re well worth the money.

I have that option. Next spring/summer I hope to be running the 580, and i was contemplating trying to get on with just working my dump truck this winter.

As much as I love the cash from alberta, I do like staying at home, and would be happy making around the same, or a bit less here!

It`s hard to say how much work this is in the winter for a gravel truck. The guy that delivered the gravel today seemed to think he had year round work hauling gravel. That`s very possible since now the gravel has to be hauled into Saskatoon from aways out like Dundurn, Radisson, Blaine Lake and other such places.

Yeah a hauling job from the pits near my house would be great too.

I had the gravel truck in the city this morning getting a flat repair, and I had a subtle job offer from a fella that owner/operates for nrt, says they pull in around 3500 bucks every ten days.

thats only 350/day... if you gotta pay for your fuel, truck, wage and eats out of that, you're not making much!!!

That is driving their truck, their fuel, and yes I would have to provide food.

Makes me wonder what the truck makes though, what he does is haul propane super b's up to key lake for nrt.
