    If i learned anything from delivering to jobsites.... What happens at the jobsite stays at the jobsite ! Hahah most of the times those guys will pull ya out of a jam of ya ask nicely...

    That shows your experience staying calm in a bad situation like that and thinking of how to get out with minimal damage. Veteran move. Nice work

    We is empty.
    I’ve noticed these long 0500-2300 days aren’t good for some people.
    Guess flatbedding when loose leaf log pages teaches bad.
    I show 5.25 hours left today, or split for 7.75, but no load yet, therefore no destination.
    At least most hopper places, you can stay on site.

    just a small FYI for those who dont already know, anywhere possible, when stuck offroad, get a push, rather than a pull. FAR safer than a chain snapping.

    Had to pull enough stuck end dumps out with my old Scania that was almost unstoppable!

    I may have dodged an Elsa bullet today, but it’s probably knocking on your door now.

    There’s nothing like liftgate deliveries in a full blown gale complete with thundertain. :rolleyes:

    I'm having to replace the ignition switch assembly on my 08 Ford Focus. Told my wife I need to get a 5.5mm socket. Mine seems to have walked off. Anyway, she says anytime I start doing something on a car or the house I always need to go buy more tools. Like "don't you have enough tools?" Told her that having enough tools is not possible and that a man can never have too many tools. She said I don't have room for the tools I have. Told her she had a point so I had better get a new roll away box. That didn't go over real good but at least I got it out there.
