    A DVOM can help relieve some stress while building a new machine. I always hated getting new components to build a new machine and found out something didn't work. All you really need is a cheap volt meter. You don't need an expensive dvom for this.

    Yeah it was about 10:30 when I was headed east again. I didn't want to deal with all the traffic on the QE2 so I took the back roads in from the east. It all comes back pretty quick. I was sweating bullets last night thinking about dragging a trailer through those tight streets after such a long time out of the seat but hell I honestly didn't even break a sweat.

    Start asking around. You might be surprised. When I started driving it was part time on weekends.

    Just talk to drivers and whatnot? I wouldn't mind learning how to run a towtruck. Like a 1 ton or a tandem deck. Something like that.

    I know the feeling. My old dealership was on jasper ave, the main road thru downtown. I used to arrive back after midnight when all the drunks were about. Would have to offset back into this spot.
    Once when I was heading out, a homeless dude was sleeping in the box of a pickup on the trailer. Saw him jump out and run for his life as I was pulling away. I used to have them sleeping under the truck stealing warmth from the block heater. That's why I always took my winch bar with me to my personal vehicle.

    I would skip the drivers unless you know one personally. Assuming you are looking at smaller companies, try to talk to the owner.
