Where is everyone #5

Congrats to the grad!

 

She left him he was a controlling child...had to know what and where she was 24/7. He came into some money and quit his job so he didn't have to pay child support. I'll give my sis credit, she bought a home and moved out and served papers all in the same day. He came whining and crying to me one day after....I showed him the door !

 

You don't know the half of it ! LOL

 

I'm in Des Moines right now en route to St. Charles, MN to deliver at 0800 Monday. This is a junk-looking load that looks like it would be one of the ones bringing rates down but it actually pays pretty good and it is only 40 miles from my even better paying reload on Monday.

This load has a set of forklift forks from Humble, TX, a set of forks from Mexia, TX, a Bobcat 331E mini-excavator from OKC, and an air compressor and two pallets of Bobcat skid steer tires from Lincoln, NE.



Funny thing about the City of Oklahoma City and their fleet maintenance facility is they do not have a darn loading dock to load trailers. So for about the 50th time I had to engineer my own loading dock. I used the mini-excavator to pull a retired equipment trailer out of the mud , laid down the ramps and proceeded to drive the Bobcat on to the equipment trailer. Next, I parked my step deck next to the equipment trailer and drove the Bobcat onto my trailer.

 

Thats using yer noggin!!

 

Haha I will not give up until it is physically impossible to get loaded. I like getting paid!

 

Wasn't happy the way my one fuel tank turned out so I ended up recutting it two more times to satisfy me.

 

Quick thinking on your feet there..

I see your conundrum there. The problem is having too nice of a tractor. Got to get you an old shaker, then rusty load won't look so out of place behind it.. LoL

What is your deck height on the Manac? Tires look good & tucked up under there..

Thinking about trying to put an adjustable ride height control on mine, similar to what a rgn has. Like to get it down another inch or 2 for days like this..

 

Thanks man. I still have my 2005 International 9900ix. I am letting my nephew run the truck pulling a 53' flatbed that he scored a super deal on.

The ride height on this 2018 Manac is 38.5". And you're right about the tires being tucked away nice and neat.
