    Hmmm there has to be a smart engineer somewhere that could design a way to unload those. But being engineers mostly design stuff that create more work for both operators and mechanics. I wonder if that's the reason manual labor is the best way

    They would have to pay me like 100 bucks a hour to unload tires all day. May be ok to deal with then. Probably paying some warehouse guy 12 bucks a hour n change.

    Those vans&cans are sooo warm in the Summer. I've unloaded a few tire trailers. Hauled for LS. Wear gloves, that rubber will dry your hands out real quick.

    I can only imagine 150 degrees inside of a van trailer in the summer. Miserable work

    One of my favorite country singers, along with Don Williams.



    Stuck in the motel listening to Sad songs, while watching NCIS, and trying to get motivation.

    It beats sitting against the motel wall with a sign.

    I should add, don’t get the General Tso chicken.

    It’s so not healthy.

    If I'd been trucking when I was your age, they'd be the only loads I'd do. You'd have plenty of cash, and be one buffed mother ####er.
