mercer transportation

Not sure what its called lol. They are running cable lines in the ditch area underground with some big orange pipes on reels. Im wondering if they use water to push it through the ground

 

With that type of work the will use a directional boring rig that can be set up thousand's of feet away. They push a round bar through the ground at a desired depth. The bar has a slanted head that allows it to change directions. They inject water through the bar to soften the dirt around the boring head. They will expose the head down field remove it and attach the pipe to the bar with a special connection. Then pull the pipe back towards the machine.

 

Yeap, what he said. lol
My brother ran a boring crew for Verizon for many years, pulling fiber optic cable.

 

This going back to work thing is for the birds.

@spyder7723 im glad I snaged that load. Turned out to be just a plate about 25 ft long. 10k. Easy as pie.

 

I didnt say it was professional or a good idea for the face of a business, just that my son and I liked it. I didn't realize it was a wrap though, but I guess that's easier than paint so it's the go to nowadays.

 

I think the top of the hood was real paint. That has to be the first international to ever place in a show. I'm not even sure why a Swift was allowed in a Mercer truck show but oh well.

 

I dont think it was mercer only from what ive read about it.

 

Im glad you got it. It worked out good for me. I got that short one dropped about 3. 600 bucks after fuel on 4 hours of work. Can't complain about that. Then boogied 90 miles for my next load. It's going so far into bfe I'm probably gonna bounce 800 miles after, but i just couldn't say no to the stupid money they offered.

 

Glad it worked out, I grabbed a load to IL for the morning. Nothing after that but I have time LOL. I think I'm going to make a couple of circles around here then jump down to Houston this weekend.

 

Then we will cross paths on my way back.
