Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

I had to take it...it was just begging to be said!

 

Quit going to those idiots. If it has to be ordered anyway, just order it online and have it sent straight to you with no markup and probably no sales tax.

 

Well as a side note to all of this. I got myself signed up for a yearly subscription to Cummin QuickServe this past Thursday. From now on, when I do have to go in there, "I" will look up the parts number myself prior to heading over. All they have to do is grab the part off the shelf. Most of the parts I had previously purchased from Roberts are 20-50% less expensive ordering them through QuickServe.

I am bummed a little that some of the more major parts for my Cummins aren't available on QuickServe (starter, alt, egr, turbo etc) I guess those would be the truck specific spec'd parts you have to get directly from the Volvo dealer, or elsewhere.

 

I say God bless Oklahoma, keeps the hot air from all them Texans out of Kansas. LOL

 

Good luck with the new gig Big John. Just going by the area that I watch, looks like the flatbed loads are picking up lately. And stay safe strapping down that pipe.

I don't have anything lined up yet this week, catching up on all the little maintenance items that get neglected during the winter.

The 2 trucks we have now don't have water shutoff valves for the heater. I was skeptical about it, but the a/c seems to keep up fine anyway.

 

Oh man, that reminds me. I gotta get that new condenser put on. I ain't about to run that hotbox down the road this summer without AC.

I just hope I didnt destroy the compressor by being low on freon all winter.

 

Hey there Big John i was courious if dollar trucking is still in buisness? I beleive there were out of hennesey, oklahoma had a friend that worked there years ago and they hauled alot of pipe allover the place. I met him when i was pulling grain hopper back in mid 90s. Didnt see him for like 7 years and he ended up working for us at foodliner. He had alot of crazy stories lol. crop jockey

 

I went through Hennesy Friday, and there was a sign in front of their office that said it was for lease. I didn't see any trucks there either.

 

I wonderd you use to see there trucks everywhere and then they went to hauling pigs for seaboard. Havent seen them in a while.
