    Your truck looked awful lonely today, you could've put horns on it.

    Liberty Utilities shifted the poles for free.
    Jasper county - 60’ culvert $1585
    Tree service $450
    Chiropractors day cab and dump trailer - $300 fuel, $50 PTO fluid.
    Joplin Stone - 30 miles away - 13 loads. 590,000lbs of rock. $2400
    Drew Thomas Excavations - 9 hours -,$1400.

    About 2-3 days, and we have McArthur Transport world headquarters.

    Things learned -

    Local dump truck work is not for me.

    11.1 Detroit’s can’t pull the skin of a rice pudding.

    Rock don’t go as far as you’d think.

    You have to outspend thieves.

    The chiropractors in the Midwest also own trucks? That’s cool. It’s good to have two sources of revenue.
