Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Just picked this up in ND. We have 4 more to move. Back half of a Terex TS32 scraper.

Our other truck is moving the tractor or front half.

 

I always hated splitting scraper's and Terex's were the absolute worst

 

Delivered this today - on the side of a state highway in the mud and rain.

 

Hey Big Ron, how much is a truck wash for the entire rig on average?

 

When The dealer paid last month - they wanted photo for marketing - it was $150 for the entire setup
Wheels brightened, Rainex, tire dressing - the whole works

 

Not bad. I pulled out of a particularly muddy job, and they started charging by the minute. But some of that stuff sets up like concrete on the rig and makes you extremely heavy.

 

the good news is it poured rain from Ash Fork to Phoenix this afternoon, so all washed off - except what got on me and that I will have to wash off myself.

 

Well these were already split and motors and transmissions have been removed.

 

Did a driver trash a truck and abandon it?

All the time, you hear someone with grand plans of building a small fleet...buying a couple trucks and putting drivers in the truck. This is a prime example why it usually doesn't work out. Can't remember who said it, but it went something like, "good drivers make money. Money doesn't make good drivers."

You can put a driver in the hottest rig in the world, pay him top dollar to take care of the truck, and a dirtbag will still dog the piss out of it. It's why I always say that if you wanted a top driver, you have to steal him from someone else, because the guys on top are NEVER looking for a job. The only way you meet him is on the job in someone else's truck.
