    Read a thread on here today, claimed a bunch of Goats climbed up on top of a trailer and got swept of the top of the trailer on an overpass.
    Never had animals up on the top of a trailer that I know off, maybe a bird or so landed there for awhile.
    Only thing I know is running different engines hauling wood out of the Appalachian Mountains if a goat had got on top of er?
    Never would have pulled the pitch, was always that 6" that separated a life and death situation.
    I peeled a Refer roof back just like a banana peeling on a Sunday morning coming North into the Baltimore tunnel. Was early in the AM and my hair stood on end. Like straight up. Can't even fathom a dozen or so Goats coming unglued!!!

    Google bro.
    There are approximately 700 pieces of wood in a full cord.

    How do you think I BS my way in this trucking forum. I've never even sat in a semi, I work at 7-11.

    Well.
    Got the tire inflators put on and appear to be working.
    Then, after I cleaned hands and was putting tools up, the farmer that I haul for and park on his property had a no show, so I’m driving a 386 Pete for him...
    One of my old trucks, had 1.3 million when I got out of it, it’s been roughly abused since.
    It’s a shame, was a good truck, air pops off every 15 seconds, said he changed the filter, still doing it.
    As long as AC works the remaining time of today, I could care less.

    Yeah, and it is going to cost him to get @d.tibbets to come over and tarp it.

    Be a good application for a robot. Long arms, fixed point - pile , to fixed point - stove door. Leave him at the pile, no housing expense. Solar powered outside, no utility expense. Be a good winter project. Anyone who can whip up such a well engineered splitter should knock out plans overnight and build in 30 days. You do, we will market.

    Add three, or some SA will say: "But my splitter has 2 cup holders".
