    Dang.
    It looks like you could have 4 different sized spare tires and still not have the one you need on that rig!

    Sometimes I wonder if our $40 tarp pay is a joke, other times there’s no question it is. This load falls into the latter category.

    I wish I could have gotten some work at this expo.

    Maybe I would've learned something.

    Actually not that much. A tad over 112k, the pot is smallish at 68500 pounds.

    I was kidding about the push truck. I've been rather unhappy with the performance of the rebuilt cat engine in this glider kit. Cat being Cat decided that they needed to return the engine to factory spec's. I haven't convinced the boss that it needs addressed. The truck behind me has a pot going to the same place. Cummins powered and can run circles around me. (The Cummins has under 600k and has been rebuilt twice. While this cat has 1400000 has been rebuilt twice.)

    Someone I worked for once told me that power has a tendency to come at the expense of longevity.

    Yeah, I get that. Add to that the emission system's on new engine don't seem to help longevity. Once a driver gets used to a motor that get the job done it's hard to accept one like this. So there needs to be a happy middle and we're not there yet.
