It was a license to print money.

I don't particularly remember any arrogance going around between operation's back then at least. Could just be an Alberta thing.......LOL

God only know's how the owner operator make's it today.

Wasn't too long ago I was up in wabasca making 180/hr and running the way you talked about. 6 months in a row I was given the "top grossing truck" award and that included semi vacs that billed out 250/hr. I remember thinking I was making alot of money.....

Turns out it was my mechanic who was making alot of money because I took a net loss. I've now adjusted the way I do business or I wouldn't have survived.
