Big Loads - Post Photos Number 2

Yea, been pretty busy. Trying to keep the truck running for more than one load at a time. Seems like almost every single trip something breaks. Ever since I had the motor rebuilt last January this truck has been a constant headache. It spends almost as much time in the shop as it does under loads. I've had a few trips where I'm either running my old W900 or taking our daycab across the country. Got something in the works that should fix that. Keep getting delayed like everything else these days.

We're down a driver for the last 6 months or so and haven't found a replacement yet. Even been trying to recruit direct out of the driving schools and tech colleges and not having much luck.

Not much going on with the place up north. Only managed to go up there once last year over 4th of July week. My mom just bought a new house 25 minutes up the road that is likely where we'll all be staying now. I'm going to keep my place for now just because it costs almost nothing to have it.

 

Back down to five this week after coming outta the house —

wheel loader from Savannah to NY state



grabbed this excavator outta HQ to Wisconsin



fixing to load in Illinois tomorrow for South Texas. Legal load. Like a goddang vacation?

 

Beats tarping?

 

we don’t say that word around here anymore, oxbow.


T-t-tarp? No. We leave that to the real open deckers like @kylefitzy and @Landincoldfire

 

Almost feels like a waste of time to have to flag up for 2 little stub shafts sticking out.

 

Couple moves from the last couple weeks.

 

Something different. Cat 220 Gc. 89k gross.

 

So that was you




Plastic moulding machine — 11 wide at 102k gross

 

Small world! I wonder if @Landincoldfire was a Dundalk today also? I saw one of their trucks too!

 

Believe Lands truck is black with red stripes and not vice versa — if I’m right he was in Nacogdoches two weeks ago



Tough to keep track of those Southern Pine W9s
