    If they're going the way of Wylie equipment, why not Peterbilt trucks. Same power plant as the KW, just a slightly different body style... Plus they're already spec'd to haul cheap-n-heavy freight

    This generation of Tri Pac’s seem to be much more reliable, I’ve had one for a year now and it’s been problem free, back in 2017 the unit I had then broke constantly.

    There is one sure way to get me to wash my truck more often, keep putting these Terex/Genie loads on me so I have to stop and have them washed off while I am in the bay.

    Well my new ride got here earlier then expected, and it even comes with a fancy accessory. I don’t see any collision mitigation anywhere! 5933AA12-3739-4AB8-B31F-8772A0342732.jpeg CC723361-6F30-4970-81ED-1B26DC134488.jpeg EF5C2523-5EE7-4476-93A1-0678BDC4EA44.jpeg

    If you ever get stuck in the south East for the weekend, ask to work down here. It’s the easiest $432 on a Saturday and five hundred something on a Sunday.

    I’ve been running OD skin trailer from tx to ga and got hung up over the weekend. The offered me 350 mile round trip and $432 to work one 6 hour shift because we can’t find someone to work the dock for $75k a year plus crazy overtime if you want it. Or I could sit in GA for free. It was an easy choice.

    I always wondered why the yard goats have that thing hanging down off the front bumper. Must be a reason for it ?
