to all end dump haulers...

Thanks! Right back at you! Enjoy the holiday in the new house!

 

@Professor No-Name ended up having to replace the u joints and steering shaft on mine to get rid of that feeling I was having in the steering, brand new truck!

 

It'll be awhile till mine gets straightened out. Probably have to prematurely wear out another right steer tire before anything else gets done. Although I'll get to go get my trailer alignment done at some point. Woulda been nice to have gotten both done at the same time. It would've been easier to notice any improvements from it then.

 

LOL I have had 5 loads this week that were loaded one sided all going to the new battery plant that Hyundai is building. It was to say the least interesting. I don't shovel anything. I make the loader is there is one there add to the side that needs more products on is so I am loaded evenly. Otherwise I find a spot where I can get in the right position to slide it down until its even. There are some times especially in the dark that I sit there and say "do not turn over do not turn over do not turn over" So far so good but you know the saying "there are those that have and those that will"

 

West Memphis be like...

 

.... A place no one wants to go to

 

Eh the area they live aint bad. One of the lowest crime areas of the city thats not in the richy rich areas. Still i prefer my farm in south dakota. To many #### people here for my tastes.

Unrelated note he let me try his new 1911. Never used a 1911 before and never used a .45 before. 25 yards and my grouping was the size of a half dollar. Meanwhile he tried my macky and his grouping was the size of the target XD

It was halarious.

 

Merry Christmas dumpers, went to Franklin TN yesterday, traffic was enough to drive me nuts. Any available farms up there in SD @Arctic_fox just a nice little place to get away from people will suit me fine.

 

A couple but the cheapest near me is $600K atm lol. I do know one down near vermilion that was like 200k though.

 

Howdy y'all. After many years of tanker-yanking I'm considering switching to an end-dump carrier that does local work hauling petroleum coke from the refineries to the port. Apparently I will be dumping into a bin or a pit most of the time, and occasionally dumping on the leeward side of the pile.

So if y'all would be kind enough to share some tips and tricks to help me avoid rookie mistakes, I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
