Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

DOT physical this morning=I hope my blood pressure stays down.

 

That seems to be a problem for quite a few people. I have to take medicine to keep mine down.

 

I'm all good this time. Last year it was a little high and he only gave me a 1 yr card.

 

The contract to the ethanol plant is done. Guess I will be hauling wheat next week. I have been surprised that I've been kept this busy usually it slows down some before fall harvest.

 

Don't jinx yourself,WH

 

I'm having a ''dandy'' saturday.
1st)Drilling a ex.manifold stud out of the head on this 'ol b model,anybody wanna help?
2nd) Have to get all dressed up and go to my wife's 25th high-school reunion with her!



Glad your bp numbers came out good,cowdoc. Now you don't have to worry about yelling for your Saints and Tigers.

 

Drilling a stud out doesn't sound like fun to me so I'll let you continue.

 

Well I have parked the grain trailer and went and picked up my new belly dump Thursday. It got to where their wasn't much grain to haul and what is left the rates have dropped two to three cents a bushel cheaper then what we was hauling it for a couple weeks prior. I checked on running some other loads and going out of state with my hopper but the rates were not where they need to be, I am not going to haul cheap for nobody so it is parked. I started knocking on some doors and making calls and was able to come up with some rock hauling in the oil fields here, it is steady five days a week with good rates. Got my truck rigged up Friday and I will be able to roll the tarp and dump from inside the cab.

 

jsut amke sure you do not hit the dump switch while going down the road I ahve see it and it is not a pretty sight to look at .
