    I don’t remember any extra maintenance, not sure what there would be.

    Maybe none, don’t know, but it has a few more moving parts so I figured I would ask the question

    There are some rollers under there and a big cylinder. I guess those parts might need replaced at some point but I don’t ever remember them having trouble.

    I'm both ticked off and depressed. Last thing we need right now is downtime, and it's gonna be at least 3 days according to KW here in Little Rock.

    The green coats are the cops. The tub of lard behind the cop in front of the car is the other driver. He could of cared less, which is infuriating.

    One of the biggest problems in our industry is the amount of so called drivers that have no respect or care for anyone else.

    Hauled 8 loads with Farm Truck on Saturday. Those 8 were about the equivalent of the 30 loads the guy hauled with his 2 ton dump truck for the front half of the lot.
    For some reason, every load got to be a bit bigger than the one before.:confused:
    One thing farm trucking in my younger days taught me was bad habits.

    We started loading 8' back from the front of the bed. It lifted every load just fine.
