    I don’t believe in that stuff it’s all snake oil and fear tactics. Anybody seen my salt or chalk?

    On a serious note B model CATS are like an Australian Cattle dog or blue heeler. Lots a time what you think your getting and what you get are long way apart. Hard headed won’t start to describe them. However when they are right they are priceless. Finding a complete unmolested not mixed bag of #### can be a chore. And buying one that is giving trouble thinking your smart enough to line it out is begging for a lesson. Speaking from experience

    How about a lucky rabbits foot? It ain’t done much for me or the rabbit, but you know they say third time’s the charm.

    All ritchie brothers yards have ramps for flatbeds and steps . if u have a flatbed u most likely wont have to wait for the ramp . but if u have a step without ramps and need to borrow the one at the yard. the ramp seems to get backed up for a while if theres lots of trucks there... Lots of flats also loading crane booms and different pieces of equipment that are getting broken down. They have a pretty good loading crew at all the ritchie bros yards ive been too... If you can find a decent broker that doesnt step on the rate to much u can get paid pretty good loading out of there.. But there also a fair share of cheap #### just like anything else.

    Spot on ^^^^^^^^ a B model will either love ya or make your life miserable ..... The last blue heeler I had wasn't worth the dog food she ate..she chased cows out of the trailer faster than I could load em ... she coun't count worth #### either .ended up giving her to the cashier at a fuel stop in Mo.
