What if it Snows?

This cuz got an old ragged dump truck and got some gravel hauling from the county from the river east of West Point to up into the Kilgore Hills above Montpelier. Prospered and patched up a couple of more and had some young drivers wannabees to operate. One old truck lost its brakes and crashed down a gully, total loss. Luck was , the bank had required insurance, so it got paid off.
The hauling got slow, so after some swapping of components had like 2 good and one sorta junker. Then the junker lost its brakes and crashed with a load of sand up in the hills. Dump truck fleet was slowly and carefully while insured liquidated.

Sometime later, a man walked into the Bank of Mantee, Mantee, MS, coveralls and a mask and a pistol. This man departed with a sizable bag of cash.
As the investigation proceeded, many leads were perused and suspicion abounded. Cuz's name was bandied around as a possibility. High sheriff and hands drove out to his farm to follow up. Cuz was cleaning out a barn and putting manure on a field. Visiting group pitched in and helped him most of one day.
Cuz says he wished they would come back. He had some more places he needed dug. He died years later, lived about the same lifestyle during, and it is still claimed to have been involved.
Strange, the dump truck liquidation never was questioned in the least.

 

I was a Peterbilt guy. Freightliner sucks.

 

I would think more Freightshakers would crash than Pete's. But in this era I could be mistaken.

 

What retailers are you shopping? Some places are way over priced.
Ordering from online places can usually be the best priced.

Back in my oil patch days, we had to have FR stuff. Overalls seemed to work just fine.
They should have a list of requirements for the site.

 

unless they want a new shop building, then it was inside waiting on a john deere mechanic when it went up.

 

Cal Ranch— didn’t buy anything from them— went on Dungarees.com and ordered some stuff for way cheaper— pretty much where I buy most of my stuff anymore

 

There are thinking folks in neighboring states. Amazing....
