to all end dump haulers...

Good morning bucket heads.

Currently reloading scrap in Cleveland going down to central Tennessee. Been sitting here most of the morning waiting to load. It's been a typical Monday for sure.

Will be reloading in Bulls Gap, TN going to Cullman, AL. After that reloading in Fayette, AL going back to KC.

 

Loading at west alabama sand and gravel in Fayette @Tall Mike ?

 

Not sure he hasn't sent the the info yet.

 

If so I took a snap shot of the directions for you, it’s in the middle of nowhere. However you want to get to 22 west is up to you, otherwise these will walk you right in there. GPS has a tendency to take you down a dirt road that isn’t truck accessible, they’ll load you right on the scale and the guy is good about axle weights.

 

Thanks I appreciate it !

 

This is a really bad day.. The cylinder blew apart when the bucket was all the up. Luckily it didn't flop over, it did come crashing down. Not really sure what happened it was just a load bang and down it came. Waiting on a wrecker to come lift the bucket and cut the cylinder out of there. Then we'll drag it back to KC.

 

Man that’s some scary stuff, things can go bad quick pulling these things. Glad you’re good, and it didn’t take the truck or trailer.

 

Dang it that ain’t good. Any other damage?

A friend of mine that ran a wrecker for 25 years told me about one where the top pin broke out of the trailer. The driver hit his head on the roof, the sides of the trailer blew out, and sunk the drives a couple of inches into the chip and seal county road he was sitting on.
