We haven't been in business long enough to have 500,000 mile trucks.
Most have between 100 and 150K.........
Don't mean they aint torn up.
Trying for a vision of our trucks at 500K is enough to make me want to run and hide.

5mouths.did you get your repairs done yet? is the hopper thing just slow starting or are there other issues.seems pretty easy just alot of empty miles.am thinking about keeping my other trucks on van and taking the plunge with hoppers as it's something differant and being a city boy i havent been on to many farms and that would be fun..
-
Well I could give you a pretty good idea, except my odometer is stuck at 627418, been stuck there for over a year now, so we have no idea how many miles it has. -
Im learning alot more than those that go to the schools and I only drove the truck once. I know I shouldn't even be into trucking but #### it's hard to stay away. Been riding along since I was 5 and now going to el paso like nothing maybe later on dad will let me run at night. Oh BTW rob that's a cresent wrench and the shiny ones a ratchet. The crescent wrench is the best tool to have carry a large and a small you never know when they come in handy.

The Great White Hope rides again!
I even adjusted my own clutch -
if you don't have something already. have him help you put on a hook. for the next time you get stuck. you have something to latch on to and be pulled out. also a chain. not many people have chain. gots to be prepared for winter. playing in the mud, that hook gets used a lot.
half our trucks have hooks, the other half have a u-shaped bracket with a 3 inch thick pin.
mounted in the center. through the bumper to the frame.
get some coveralls too. none of us want to see you get dirty. why ruin your clothese.Last edited: Sep 14, 2009
