Closing up shop or thinking about it? 2.0 Heavy hitters welcome.

They still wanted like $180k(I forget) for a new D3 with a mulcher head and a blade


Truck is registered and insured and just sitting till the wife gets better ….. don’t know how to do anything else so will just hang in as long as I have to for her……

 

I Am kind of interested in doing small brush hogging type work . Mostly 5-10 acre lots (residential.) Using my truck as the lowbed……

 

Last year was 3.78 all miles....just shy of 130k for the year. As of now we're 3.48 can't really complain

 

I'll retire when I cannot pass my DOT physical. I love what I do even though many try to ruin it. My heart still goes pitter patter when I hear that Cat growl to life. Better than most sex

 

That’s a heap of miles for running regional in the north east. Is that for two trucks?

 

130k miles all in Northeast? One truck?

 

That was for both trucks.

 

Yep 2 trucks and we've never spent a night in the trucks. Home daily

 

Happy turkey day. Can't forget the dog. After dinner beer for him and he's all content

 

The holiday bit me in the butt. Delivered Monday, sat til yesterday afternoon. Started heading north hoping maybe Toronto or Montreal load tomorrow but nothing developed. Flat tire on the trailer when I got moving this afternoon in Carlisle. Shop closed, might as well wait til the Am to get it looked at.
Decide then north or just go home to Nova Scotia.
We have lots of loads coming up going south, but the North Bound has dried up. Rates are crap and its heavy and they want tarps. I may park it. Or sell it. I'm too close to retirement to play these games.
