Wow that's pretty neat how you moved up into heavy haul. Rather encouraging too as I'm looking to get out of the day to day grind of working in a truck/trailer repair shop and into the seat of a lowboy, etc. However it's gonna be a long road. Had my CDL A since I was 19 but even after 3 years I still have little to no experience with it. Been told all the big railroads like to see CDLs for all positions so I'm hopeful that something will turn up there and I can make my way up through the ranks.

Well now, don't mean to stray from the topic at hand. You guys have some neat rigs, I love the diverse Bulldog fleet. From the DM (I believe?) to the Granite, Titan, and forward axle CH Macks....neat trucks! And love the use of the dayton wheels....love seeing that on trucks and trailers....although I'll take a unimount anyday when it comes to changing a flat, LOL.
