    Its not as bad as last time, thank god. If I had to guess $2K??? Cracked the fender where the blinkers are and scratched up the bumper pretty good.

    I think that this time of year, there is some pointing a laser target at his truck, I swear. This will be the 3rd time in 5 years that it will be in the shop getting the body fixed.

    I just thank god that he only attracts them in parking lots and gas lines, not on the interstate. :biggrin_25523:

    I've been busily hopping back and forth between the Birmingham, AL area and a new powerplant in Eastern MS. Anyone else here on that job? It's pretty much all end dumps, except for the cement contract, which seems to be exclusive to MDS (used to work for them, back in the '90s).

    Sounds like the dumpers are busier than the grain haulers at the present time.

    LOL...You've got it all wrong! The Bentley is the parts car. It's what we use to haul off old brake shoes and bring home oil filters and tires.

    Now, when we want to look nice, we take out the Bugatti Veyron. You never know when you're going to need 1,000 hp and 250 mph! :biggrin_2559:
