to all end dump haulers...

Craptastic is what that is.
Hope the rest of your day goes better.

 

What little bit of frame is under this thing looks like it's tweaked a little bit. Not sure if it's fixable or not.

 

No time to react at all. Just a loud boom and down it came.
Strange thing is my gross weight was only 49k on the inbound scale real light load.
It wasn't like I was trying to put 40 ton up in the air or anything.

 

Thanks.

 

How's everyone doing? Been busy down this way, hauling quite a bit of cold patch lately, and lime rock. Went to a delivery in Daytona Beach yesterday, had to back in this place off of International Speedway Blvd (the road the speedway is off of) so you can only imagine the fun involved in that, I've been doing this 19 years now, and really have nothing to prove, so I'm not fond of challenges like that. The guy I delivered to was really helpful, and complementary of my abilities so that was a plus. Anyway, @Tall Mike everything ok? Heck of a way to get started back out here in the dump world, nothing you could've done in that situation, scary as heck though I'm sure. @Arctic_fox how's the new trailer treating you? @motocross25 getting ready for the cold to set in? I'm steady watching the temps in Cape Girardeau dropping, seems like it might be a cold winter this year, any predictions?

Everyone stay safe, traffic in Florida has been unreal, I can only imagine the next month or so around the holidays is going to be insane, I'm taking the week of Thanksgiving, and the week prior to Christmas off, hopefully that will alleviate some of the craziness for me.

Yes that was quite a welcome back moment for sure !

Keeping busy hauling mostly stone and scrap. On a short one this weekend out of KC to Jeffersonville with scrap. We took this load to put me in position to pick up a stone load out of somewhere around Louisville going out to Ogden, Utah. The money on it is decent so I said yeah let's do it. Hopefully the weather out west cooperates.

That's all I got !

Have a great weekend everyone and be safe.

 

I've always liked it for the most part. It has its days like anything I guess. I'm slowing down in my old age so it's a good fit.

 

Heck, I've never thought of a frameless helping with old age, my heart still goes 90 mph every time I put that trailer up in the air. I'm not ashamed to say, after 8 or so years of doing it, I'm still nervous every time I dump.

 

Glad to see you’re staying busy down south! It’s been salt salt salt up here. I guess the railroad putting in a new bridge or something in the middle of Kansas and they needing 2500 ton of ballast so everyone has been doing that lately. Naturally they pick one of the worst spots they can to dump it all but whatever.

@Tall Mike if you're goin to Cronimet in Jeffersonville IN it’s a breeze. Park outside the gate, go check in, they’ll call you in when they’re ready. Scale, you dump on nice level concrete, scale out and you’re done. Used to you couldn’t get in before 8 am because they dump their trucks first. Or load theirs or something. But it’s been awhile since I been there.
