    Not much left to come out now.

    Firewall is pretty thin under the cowl. Centerpunching the huck heads on the clutch brackets it was just constant chunks of rust flake falling off. Looking at what it would take to repair I think it would be counter productive. I can fabricate and replace the entire firewall/floor plate for under $500 Canadian Pesos.

    Besides, having a neighbour with a big CNC table helps ;)

    LoL I'm of 2 minds on this. I actually ran a little bobcat critter similar for a week about 5 years ago but it was delivered to the ground.... and I have no recollection of running it except I didn't bust anything and everything got done. Mostly pushing around rocks and knocking down trees. Not exactly finesse LoL
    BUT. . I'm about the most unlucky person alive. I even got hit by a car during my CDL test, no joke. I like things calm and damage, cargo claims and lawsuits are not calm...

    My information from the dispatcher is the order I'm going with. But the warehouse had a different sequence. And the paperwork states call the receiver to set up delivery.
    Unfortunately I got my load at 6pm Fri and first delivery is Mon at 8am. All 3 are closed for the weekend. All 3 are subsequent DAYS...in a 3 hour radius. So I'm guessing I have a bit of flexibility in the situation... Lots of flexibility and negligible guidance LoL...

    If you’re coming from the west, why not just load the one for Delmar first before the two for Bear, and deliver there first?

    Do you know where your next pickup is after you get empty?

    The front 2 are for Bear, the 3rd one is Eldersburg Maryland ffs, the last one is the Delmar delivery.
    Warehouse had Eldersburg last on first off...but I had no way to confirm. So I had them load the Delmar last since I've been directed to deliver to them Mon morning 8am.
    So that decision being done I now would like, if possible, to swing north, move off the Eldersburg piece, deliver the 2 to Bear and then roll westward to drop off in Eldersburg.
    Does that make sense?

    Well, if it were me, I’d hit Eldersburg first, and ideally let the location of the next pickup determine the order of the other two. If your next pickup is down south for example, I’d personally prefer to head that direction from the point furthest south. But if you have don’t have that information yet, it doesn’t much matter.

    They probably all open at the same time too.

    But I’m just applying a peddle hand’s brain to your job. :)

    Sure wish some of you fat bastids would back away from the feed trough once in a while.

    Been haulin' heavy beef non stop, with no end in sight. Beatin' the snot out of my little green pony motor on these hard pulls in Vermont and northern N.H.....we both could stand a little break.lol

    Probably should be asking to borrow Rontonio's OW permits....seeing as how he's not using ' em lately....

    ...appreciate Penn. State DOT for staying hid out during these times... I guess that's their contribution to the food-chain recovery effort. lol
