    How big is your hopper ? 1000 or 1250. Either way 6 loads is a good day.

    It's a short sided 41 foot. 1140 of beans is about max. After that they need to go in the bunk.

    Ummm priority number 1 before anymore loads is getting AC.

    When I learned to drive truck in Phoenix, AZ back in the day none of the trucks had AC. I told myself later in life I would never again drive a vehicle without AC.

    My beater To get me to the yard doesn’t have working ac but not my work truck dose.

    In other news I managed to mangle a couple of wheels somehow? Seems like I would of seen it yesterday while drying my truck after the wash or, on my extensive post trip last night? I did a walk around this morning in the rain. I haven’t parked anywhere next to anything on the right side? No one loading me there either? I wonder if someone bumped me last night and I didn’t notice? Lots of different trucks on my right side last night. 1858D326-8537-431D-AE59-C3B51B286337.jpeg 2F81F51C-3400-41D9-9C06-65109E44156B.jpeg C1BD1224-4A94-4FA0-A6AF-FCA9124243BE.jpeg 94DE255B-4B8D-4FE6-93EA-68B4AC28CB19.jpeg

    I havent had it in about 4 years. My daily drivers and house do. I get really bad sinus headaches from it when your in and out. I need to be chilled or hot. No back and forth. There is alot of that hauling grain. Even when it worked I didnt use it hauling grain. I will say this, the older i get the more I think about it. Maybe this year. We do things backwards at my house. Wedding anniversary today. Hoping kid goes to sleep so we can early. I got the Mrs a cantilever umbrella for the patio. She bought me a new wedding ring. We both just wanna sleep. Alone too.

    I hate finding "what the hell" damage. If you're in western PA, I have a A/C machine and get decent discounts on parts if you don't want to make the sticky trip home?

    Got an ole boy that works with us every now and then, leased on with midwest. 70 yrs old running a 1984 freightliner.....no A/C....he took it off. Won't drink cold water....only warm water. We were down in Texas on a job, in 100 deg. Weather. And it was like it didn't even bother him. Tuff ole SOB.

    Congrats to Mrs Mack for puttin' up with you for another year.

    Yes on the bouncing in and out loading and unloading the welfare wagon, just be happy you don't have 1600 or 1850 bushel superbees (twice the moves to load or unload).
