A new chapter begins and a new home for the Morehouse/fcc orphans

Just bought a retirement tractor today myself. Maybe it's a midlife crisis tractor, I don't know. It's 57hp for a whoppin 6ac or so to work. A bit of overkill, I know. Wife will remind me of that a lot from here on out.

And no, it's not green.

 

LS. Almost got a Kubota, but sitting in the cab, I noticed where the gas cap is. Aw hell no! Not climbing on a tire to put fuel in the middle of the #### hood.

 

I hope this works out for you, you deserve a good job where you and the company are both happy.

Question for you - You said no working during the snowstorms, blizzards or ice storms.

But who determines whether you need to shut down for snow or not? You or your boss?

And what if you're daily route is safe to drive at the start of the day, but you and the owner know #### well that a snowstorm is coming and will trap you when the afternoon rolls around? Who determines whether you go out and drive or not, you or the boss?

Because many times a drivers opinion of safe to drive will be different than a dispatchers/owners opinion of what's safe to drive.

 

I asked my operations manager how they would run us in the winter…. He said if a storm was coming in, they would try to figure the tracking out then cut routes from there. My route is usually the first to be cut most of the time.

If that happens I’ll be staying in Fargo, or just get a paid day off or two. I also told him I’d have an overnight bag with me, just in case. He agreed. Lol

 

Here in Portland every manager seems to preach safety and what not until the snow and ice fly, and then magically it’s always good enough to run on. Funny how that works.

 

Least you weren’t trying to sell him a broke “Bomb Proof” gelding that kids could ride that buried him so hard in front of a crowd that he came up with 2 layers of dirt attached to him— not that I would know about such things

 

Oh Brad, the life you left behind.

LoL
