It's good to know their hours are limited. 7 days kinda' suck ... a lot. And that's what I've heard - O/O trucks and company-owned trailers.

Very cool. Those are numbers I kind-of expected but wasn't sure. Thanks, for the "werd" on that.

Same region... I live in Northern Michigan.
We get the same arctic clippers that N.D. gets.
Not as cold by golly geez, but we still consider -20F ... a little chilly, eh.

Sheesh. You gotta' have a tough immune system for that kinda' cold. I spent one day, working outdoors at -10' a couple of years ago and a few days later, I was sick from the sheer body-stress of it.

Cabela's now sells battery-operated cold-weather gear. No sheet. Sorta' like a heating blanket - only made into a polar fleece vest or gloves, socks, etc. I think you plug the battery pack into the wall at night and it runs all day, inside the garment. I'm investing in some of that stuff and I certainly would before I worked up there in the winter.

Thanks for the info.
