Where is everyone #5

When I was doing HH I would wear full sleaved coveralls during loading as well as steeltoed boots gloves and a hard hat. Then when ready to leave the customers property t would lose the dirty clothes and be in shorts runners and t shirt to drive. I seldom changed to check my load or fuel. If I had to move the load for weight adjustment or height then full working cloths come out of the side box even before my gloves go on
And yes I was a large man (285@5'10) and many of you would have slammed me as you are that driver. I am 65 years old now and have developed this way of work dress over 45 years of reasonably safe work, only having 2 reportable accidents on the job and both were caused by others.

 

I like that
I want one and I didn't know they were made.

 

Thats what I do. Have coveralls I wear when load/unloading. With safety vest. Jeans and clean shirt when in the seat. 6' 5" 305 lbs. Like to get back to normal weight of 280. Anything less I'd be skin and bones.

 

I am very much the same

I wear my Canadian fire proof Pajama’s when I load or in load

otherwise it is shorts and t shirts

 

Oh and if it is burgers it means I am in Witchita Falls

 

Cottonseed hull pellets. Mankato said its 7 business days for parts. Going to replace both trap frames, 7 days for parts and 10 hours to change them. Probably wouldn't get the trailer out of the shop until the 20th

725 mile trip home with my tail between my legs.

Spent the weekend at the home "20" in Waxahachie, TX. Got to spend some quality time with the family! This was also a big weekend for my 5 year old little boy. He got to light the fireworks (with Dad's help) for the first time and I let him do the 466 shot finale all by himself. It was "EPIC" in my son's voice!

Back to the grindstone though. Last night I hit the pavement to Humble to load at Ritchie Bros. this morning and then bounced over to Eddy for a 2nd piece of equipment. Now I am in Waco on I-35 northbound to Spring Lake, IA and Harris, MN.
