    That's great! Always thought propane was more seasonal.
    Is it for a special application?

    Had enough wheel polishing last weekend. It's easier this way!!! Lol IMG_2508.JPG
    Actually the trailer has 24.5 on and I'm switching it over to 22.5 so I can run out the tires from the truck.... or Cary a spare.... or cap my truck tires.... or gain 3" of deck height?

    Anyone need some 24.5 Alcoa's?

    The outfit I'm leased to is owned by Amerigas, so it stays busy year around here. Summertime you wouldn't believe how much propane is used up on forklifts, gas grills, hot water heaters, swimming pools. Plus, alot of farmers are getting stocked up for grain drier season so they buy cheap during summer months.

    Also, the gas is cheaper so people like to take advantage of the lower cost. Propane, butane, Pentane, y grades, non oderized gas, etc is a huge market.

    Years ago there was a guy leased to PTI who came to the gas plant I worked at to load NGLs. He had just bought a new truck. While he's loading we're standing around BSing and his dog is roaming around in the sagebrush.

    When he's finished loading he puts the dog in the truck and heads out. Fast forward about 3 weeks and he's back for another load....turns out the first trip in the dog picked up a field mouse and didn't kill it...and it was pregnant..and his new truck was infested with mice.

    I really liked pulling a tanker, but I like it all sometimes, seems I've always gravitated back to flatbeds.
