Where is everyone #5

I got the truck washed there this afternoon. I was surprised how many spaces were still open. Traffic was even light the rest of way to the house.

 

Maybe for you! Between IN and I75 on US6 I bet I had 5 to 6 cars and 2 semis pullout infront of me. Might be lighter but it's all dumb people driving.

 

That 350 sc isn't the problem. She will still do anything a modern diesel will. We are in a hurry, not it.

 

Thanks for taking one for the team!

 

Its turned up a good bit. I know the sled puller who did the pump, this was his buddies toter. Had a box turned into RV on the frame, still has generator, propane tanks, water tanks etc.

In my region, tractor means go away from home to make money. Cross state lines, cross scales, maintain more equipment, pay more insurance and tax and gvw and irp and shakedowns.. Only thing local to haul with a tractor is logs and bark.. Poverty livin.

Dump truck is less rubber and brakes, less tax and tags, keep my money in my state and always be 30 mile radius from home. Tons of dump work. And i have a dozer, crawler loader and bobcat so a dumptruck fits better than a tractor.

I dont have any fears at all if im close to home.. It runs like a top. But 400 miles out i dont wanna be looking for 1974 parts. Kids at the counter probably dont know what an NTC350 is anymore. Come out to the truck with a laptop looking for the service port.

Just a tough suspension well suited to offroad dump work. Great traction in our constant winter clay soup. Have torched up many a dump truck.. Never seen a walking beam that central america couldnt rebush and put to work in the pit.

 

If i was gonna get a trailer i think this RGN would be my jam. So versatile with top deck, folding tilt tail and pony motor.



But i still need a dump truck to complement my erector set.

 

Well... stwiks OTR days are coming to a halt this month.

okayed a regional opportunity here at SPD



Still on a salary but I’ll get home much more regularly which is just fine with me..... wanna get back on a sled this summer

 

what are the three new ones?

 

1. Have you sneezed, coughed, or had to clear your throat during the last 4 weeks?

2. Have you used a restroom in the past 4 weeks?

3. Have you traveled to or through any state or province where someone has, or may have had, cold or flu like symptoms during the previous 12 months?

If you answered "Yes", to any of these questions, please leave to property immediately, you are banned for one year.

Addendum: If you have TP, please report to the plant manager immediately.

 

I'd have to look at the email to say for certain, but if memory serves, one is about whether you're showing common symptoms of the beer flu. Another is if you've been in contact with anyone known to be carrying it. I think the other was if you've been to a region known to have cases of the virus. Don't quote me, but I believe that's all three. The third one is kinda redundant now seeing as how it's made it most everywhere.
