    My family junked some nice trucks like a 1954-56 Diamond T. Uncle Herman sold his 2 ton Diamond T 1948 model, guy drove it home after trading Herman a winch. Continental 6 cyl, 1968 F-600 in perfect shape, guy drove it home for $300. Makes me sick to think about it. Boss had me to torch a very nice N series Ford twin screw, 250 cummins 10 speed. Had a drilling rig on it it's whole life, frame and tandems covered in grease. Going to go hit my finger with a hammer now......

    What I noticed is it took (used) four people actually working. Three guides/securement and the driver. Now days it would only be the driver, and if something went wrong due to not seeing the driver gets fired with a wreck that follows his career.
     
    Lepton1, Suspect Zero and rank Thank this.

    Well anymore now they can throw 2 containers on top of each other which they really like, they act like container stacking was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Well you figure they could get more usage out of one car.

    Key people need your backing , not just resist (anything and everything even if 6 months ago it was their idea).
