    I hired 2 older brothers one day, put one on an 8K and the other one on a 6D.
    I had to fire the one on the 8 the first day, but kept the one on the 6 for a month or more, he was 62 years old and wore a fresh white shirt every day, and every day it would be half red, granted he was thin skinned and it looked a lot worse than it was, but I was clearing a right of way for a power line and he would get something in on him every day, plus he was slow as christmas. I liked him and called him pop, I was in my mid 20's at the time, and letting him go sure made me feel bad. I told him I wa shipping that dozer out and wouldn't have anything else for him to do, he told me I didn't have to lie to him, he knew why I was letting him go, made me feel about as low as a snake.lol

    Not flatbed, but I saw this one yesterday....
    Find what's wrong... not a violation, but blows my kind nonetheless.

    Rusty fifth wheel glares at me, but that may not mean much, I bet the one on my binder looks the same or close.

    No reflective tape over the mud flaps is a violation

    You right, and I hate buying them things here. I need to look online and order some I'm thinking.

    The extreme mismatching of tread depth on the right rear set? The left rears have a pretty good flat spot too.

    Since when?
    I cant count how many "fancy" trucks I've seen with purty fender. No reflective tape. Or is it just another unenforced thing?
     
    misterG, FlaSwampRat and Josey Wales Thank this.
