    Liquid and dry bulk both. We bought a huge toter full of brand new cam-loc fittings at an auction a few years ago. I don't think we'll ever use them up.
    The drivers pretty much run the same equipment with the same hoses all the time so they're careful about not dropping the fittings on the ground and egg-shaping them. The guys on the dry bulk trucks keep the fittings cleaned up. On some of our cement customers we leave an unloading hose on site. We also rent out portable cement silos and fuel tanks.

    And here I was about to make a comment about being flat and not needing chains......guess I was wrong. Up here stuff's frozen for the moment but will see how long that lasts

    We take pride in in keeping our equipment clean too. The local beacon sure loves our greenbacks. We tip em pretty good so they go easy on the mud charge lol

    You have a shop to put your equipment in? Next year will have one, just the driveway for now. We can fit half the truck in the barn lol.....were gonna be raising the roof to fix that issue
     
    ShooterK2 Thanks this.

    I’m leased to a company with a good size shop. Got a truck lift, wash bay, etc. but I park outside and do all my work outside unless it’s something that needs to be inside for.

    So in other words, you're banned from the Yard ? They need Trucks so bad that they let you stayed leased on because you told them that you have a hired Driver in it ?
    You're happy to wear your mask on the pads while you're unloading so they don't see your face ?

    No Mr Moose. I park my truck in their yard. I can use the shop when I need to, but I do all I can out in the yard so I’m not taking up a bay in the shop. I’ve got them outdoor oil changes down to a science, I tell ya.

    Them masks work pretty well this time a year though. Keeps my face warm.:p
