[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 4557072, member: 52145"] I just cant imagine any of you guys working the agriculture seasons. tomato /prunes/almonds / logging and other seasons I worked for years. 12 hours a day 7 days a week. It was within 100 miles so no HOS regs.This was in the 80's so may have changed now. At first I could make enough to live the whole year and collect unemployment the rest of year but with all the kids coming ( 6 ) had to haul freight in off season. Mostly 11 western states which meant living in the truck and home every other weekend. That's why I have no patience for whiners and that includes my own children when they start complaining about the cost of living. Even if they have a job it's only 40 hours so I tell them to get a second job. [/QUOTE]
