    Dont be so confident lol youd prob #### your pants the first time. Ive been towed up and down smaller slopes. Scariest moment was having the pipe slide into my truck when the crew said they tighhtened the straps on the pipe. i should have checked myself but they were in a hurry

    Wet matting that is some nasty crap right there. Personally I almost think that is worse than ice.
    Last spring I was on an ice road where they wanted us to avoid chains at all cost. I had been down the road earlier and knew there was at least 2and hills we would not make without chains. They were only about 3 miles apart the road boss wanted me to not chain and or pull them off in between. I told him that's nice however since he wasn't responsible for the damage to the truck if my drivers wiped out, once my chains go on they stay til I think I'm not out of the hills. Stupid to pull your chains off for maybe 1.5 miles block the road twice as long and waste double the time. He didn't peep to much after that

    I didn't ask, Ric is a member "of the board of directors" for quite a few companies but I think he pulled all his money out and now wants to be a competitor of his previous companies it seems. (read Mullen)

    I would say he bailed out of HN when shale gas became the new game making the MVP obsolete for the foreseeable future. You did notice when he canceled those double hull barges, that was a close one ;)

    I've been avoiding hauling pipe but it's so slow on the fluid side I might just have to change my ways. I don't need to work and my new tires are staying fresh for the winter so I'm cool.

    That's odd, as spearing Brady and the fp base in estevan seem determined to buy out all the Edmonton kenworth's stock. We were actually curious if Mullen were part owners or something.

    You're not confused, Mullen announced earlier this year they were allocating $25 million of their $100 million in capital expenditures towards the purchase of trucks and trailers. They specifically mentioned adding to their fluid hauling fleet.

    Estevan, Southern Saskatchewan, that's what I was saying 20 some posts ago yesterday, that's where the growth in the patch is happening.

    Hello Nitrogen. That's got to be a delicate balance. Representing Management AND Labour, plus ensuring that the task be performed in a safe & efficient manner.

    American Spell-Check don't like me saying Labour, eh?

    Don't have tell me pinner I have been down here for awhile now. Mind you even our growth is slowing down, Penn west has stopped the drill program in waskada until December and that pipeline they built from tioga all summer is gonna slow down the border loads.

    But canera and husky are still going hard and nal I think is done consolidating and I hope will start soon.
