    That’ll make anyone tired, go to Schinder.



    I hope you’re logging all that time unloading on Line 4

    It's not bad. 2 hours 50 minutes.

    I've had it take 3 hours 30 minutes.

    32000 pounds. 1050 pieces on this one. Lot's of twisting, very good for the obliques.

    Might start doing two a week. If I were a young buck it's all I'd do.

    I always thought unloading tires was bad until I had to load one

    I fingerprint lots of stuff. Paid exercise. Now I have like 3 hours to kill before my unload, so I'm going to get my 4 mile jaunt in. It's what @tucker would do.

    I done those when I ran van out of Dekalb, Illinois...... I use to drop my van and they’d live load me in about3 hours all I had to do was let the agent know a few days ahead of time.... those were actually fun to do... lay a tire near the end of the trailer and toss and it’ll bounce off the tire and roll into the store I’m unloading at.....

    Another self unload?

    It’s only 6 degrees outside. :( way too cold for me to run.
    And it’ll be in the 60s this weekend. :)

    Yeah my PTSD kicked in, thanks guys. Worked for Firestone back in the seventies, loading tractors and train cars. They were the days, going home smelling like a rubber tree. Banding tires to ship to the auto makers, branding tires that had defects.
