    Out of everything I’ve ever done and ever owned, it’s what changed me the most. Like Montrose and Sammy said, “Get on your bad motor scooter!””

    howdy y'all!! Long time I know. I don't write, I don't call....
    but now I have a question. My company needs to move some super special sand from Florida to OKC. The supplier can't drive it over, that's outside their range. How exactly does one move a lot of sand?? Its fancy bedding sand for a fuel line project. In super sacks? some kind of grain hauler kind of trailer? How can we move this in the most cost effective way?

    Good thing about super sacks, gives you the versatility to move it on location without leaving a lot behind on the ground. And it can be moved from the lay down yard to the actual sight by any flatbed, not just a dump truck. Kind of depends on what the customer wants on the far end out in OKC….

    Thanks Bud!! ;-) good to see you, hope you are well. I'm in favor of the sacks, but I need to be objective- it's all about keeping the company profitable, right?
    100 tons of sand is about 50 bags according to the supplier. So their sack is around 4000#, so 9-10 bags per load. 5 truck loads. Guess it's time to call Western Express! LOL

    I know a basic spec mass production cycle would be a bit of a downgrade for you but do you like any of HD/Indians offerings nowadays? I saw an Indian Chief Bobber in person awhile back — I’d own one

    FedEx Home Delivery is the worst.
    Should be "FedEx We'll Dump it in the Ditch Within a Mile of so of your Address like we're disposing of a dead body"
    That is all.

    Good to see you too young’n. Another good thing about the sacks is, I’ve hauled them in van trailers too….. versatility.

    Well they gave me 2 scripts I have to get later doxy-something and I forget the other. And she wants me to get a chest x-ray. She said my lungs sounded a bit congested

    If I were gonna buy brand new, that would be the one I’d want. And the Germans even have a fat tyre kit for them!

    that's an antibiotic IIRC- make sure to finish it all. stay hydrated, get a vaporizer, and stay away from sick people!! These germs nowadays are kinda scary.
