to all end dump haulers...

Teach me your secrets sensi! Usually when mine are that borked they are done for.

Also ever have one of those days where you run into a kid at a store. And he is wearing a shirt or hat or something with something from your childhood.....then feel immense disapointment when it turns out they got the shirt from the thrift store just because it looked neat and have no clue what it means....


Ran into a dude working a wendys wearing a lechuck monkey island shirt and when he asked my name i said guybrush threepwood and id like an adult grog with extra battery acid please.....he didnt get it and i had to explain the joke to him and he responded he doesnt play those "racist old games and preferds CoD". Le sigh kids these days. No taste at all

 

How long do floors last hauling that?

 

Quite a while if you take care in how they are loaded and offloaded. The one in my current trailer is still the factory floor and only has a few small patches in it from wear and tear. And i think this is a 2015

 

Dude I’m right there with you. I quoted Ace Ventura the other day to the cash register at Price Chopper. She looked at me weird. I then said, “you know..Ace Ventura. Pet Detective.” She then asked me what that was, and if it was something new on Netflix. Gtfo. As for my bows dude I just grab the sum******* and whack em on the top of the trailer right at the bend I’m trying to fix. Do that a few times and they’ll “remember” their shape. Then I fine tune em on the inside step of my trailer. Put the bow thru the step and arch it back to where it needs to be. And if that doesn’t work, and all else fails I throw em in the nearest ditch and go to Utility for new ones.

 

@Arctic_fox nailed it. If you get a gentle loader and don’t dump it like you’re killing snakes, the floor I’ve never really had a problem with. The walls in my experience are what catches the brunt of the abuse. Especially with baled scrap. That stuff’ll come tumbling out and over each other ripping and knocking holes the whole way out. And once they start there’s no stopping it. I’ve gotten pretty good at “plopping” them out the end slow, but never where there wasn’t at least a 1” hole somewhere in the wall. We do so many grinding balls some of the older trailer floors are dimpled pretty good like a golf ball, but nothing terrible.

 

Mummm baaaaaalls.

As towards kids these days. You ever wanna feel old visit your family and have your 14 year old niece come up and ask you to fix the big black old CD thing.......and realize she means the VCR since she doesnt know what its called or how to rewind a tape. And just like that im now old enough thijgs i grew up with arent remimbered anymore.

 

Many many pages ago of this thread I posted a fine example of what an abused trailer looks like, when loaders don’t give a squat, it can wreak havoc on a trailer quickly!

 

Missed ya’ again @NightWind

 

Nice pic bro! I’m doin local work tomorrow taking filter sand to some landfill. I’ll be sure to get a good pic. Maybe I’ll be able to capture the rare poopy diaper in its natural habitat.

 

Been some odd weather around here these past few days, if the temperature didn’t know any better I’d swear it was going to snow. The sun hasn’t shown itself in Florida since Saturday! Enjoy the landfill @motocross25 shame to take such a nice ride in there.
