If there's a tougher way for a small businessman to make an everyday

That's contrary to what we've been told in Maine. Just from our
observation, many of them are driving new heavy duty trucks, and party
hearty on week ends. Not saying it's an easy job, but it does look
rewarding for those who work at it. And I don't think you could pay
them enough to take an office job.
