he must charge a ton for his work to make that profitable hauling in a truck like that.
Home for my days off, yesterday was a pain in the arse going south 2 times, the 2 loads should of taken me about 10 hours to take care of but with the dang 3 lane closures they keep doing on the 5 it ended up being a 14 hour day and it was close getting back -
I made it to Portland OR 17.5 hours early with my boring load of mixed freight lol. Stacked top to bottom, front to back and side to side. Some of the boxes fell out when I opened the doors. happens quite often and nobody seems to care. I do have the logistics slots in the last frame just inside the doors, but they slots are just a few millimeters too small to fit the logistic straps otherwise I would rein it all in that way. Will probably go tho the Home Depot in Puyallup to pick up a Dremel with a grinder attachment and make the slots the right size.
Have 2.75 hous left against the 70 so will leave tonite around 2100 for Seattle picking up 9.5 hours at midnite. -
wolfy...pretty sure he charges cabela for the shipping. but he did say it took him 6 months to complete the project. they were still touching up some of the peices when i got there. reason it took 4 hrs to load me. he let me sit in his garage while he worked, so was able to see his work. didnt take any other pics than what i had put into truck. didnt think it would be appropriate. but pretty impressive
-
