Where is everyone #5

Golden words my friend......

 

Lot of my family including my dad have lived in that house. County records show that house in the 1800’s......

 

Well, shims are used as a means of distributing weight. Its kind of a trial and error with shims. I have a preselected set of shims I use then finish off with regulator.

 

Hardest thing I did was watch them demolish the old homestead when I built my home. But the family had neglected it for to long and it was to far gone to save.....I saved what I could in lumber and the barn. I have about a 10 ×10 pile of salvaged chestnut lumber from the old home that someday I want to build something with.

 

Its because FMCSA, DOT, and every state DOT, know the big ATA companies shell out $billions$ in lobbying dollars. With the likes of Maverick's and Werner's executives leading the way, they buy influence, influence that is used to push for regulation.

The megas love regulations, and regulations keep government employees on the payroll. So, in serving the self interest of keeping themselves employed, the megas get a pass, while everything else gets the shaft.

 

Well, I’m back in the game finally, but there’s about 100 yards worth of trucks in front of me at the shipper lmao I never know whether to wait to get up there to check in, or walk up anyway when this happens; I think some places vary

 

@D.Tibbitt this looks like something of your creation, you know after rummaging through the garbage My slow self thought it was a log truck at first glance

 

Running round gathering oil, filters, splitter button and a few other odds and ends. My friend is riding with me ask "why don't ya just by a new truck". I give him that are you stupid look. .......i use to buy new every three yrs. .....no more. I can completely rebuild mine front to back for a hell of alot less than what a new one cost......and built better ! ."but you could spend more time with the wife if you had a new one" he says. If your don't have time for family yer not running the business correctly ! Plus I don't trust today's wrench holders.

 

I forgot the exact amount but is 46 - 48 cents a mile decent pay for someone who has a year of experience? There’s a company based out of Louisiana that quoted me that, (well, 6 months of experience is what they based that off of, but I’m going for the full year); they pay $75 for tarp pay (level up) and fully stocked Peterbilt 579’s; they only require 6 months OTR but I’m gonna gut it out with WE
