    I think pneumatic and tank drivers probably back up the most, or at least do the most complicated backs. Lining up those bloody lids for an auger drop is like work.

    Up, down, up, down, up, down, forward, back, forward, back, forward, forward, forward. All a matter of inches at a time, lol.

    Ain't THAT the truth. I sure miss pulling tanks, but don't miss the catwalks and the heavy arse hoses....i'm getting old.

    That’s kinda what happens when you get a bunch of guys loaded with bravado and money. Especially when they have never had two nickels to rub together before. I know when I was twenty I was the same way.

    So true. Like a crack ho on the 1st of the month. I've bought a couple guns and few little things. Drive 03 explorer and a the ugliest car ever made a 1990 Ford taurus. Best 300 ever spent

    Yessir. Some of em learn after the first boom/bust cycle and then save during the next one. Some of em never learn and most wont ever own a dang thing and will leave debt for their kids to pay off when they die.
