    Do you feel needed?

    Or maybe you just feel like you have your right foot nailed to the floor and you are running as fast as you can in circles!!!

    My turdbag has a back up beeper too. What's even better is the radio gets shut off automatically when I put the stick in the "R" slot.

    Driving for a private fleet that has almost as many trucks as UPS is Corporate as @$@%. :D :D :D :D :D

    And just like that, 707 miles later, I got from Drayton, ND to Bruno, SK to Carrot River, SK. Loving it when these days work out so well like this.

    Got my reload just down the street first thing in the morning, then it's off home, likely for the weekend. Been a weird week for everyone.

    Happy birthday @stwik, enjoy your youth while it lasts. I wish I could have found trucking 7 years sooner.

    Sorry I didn't have time to respond to this earlier.

    So, a 55H was far from new when I was around one in the mid 70s, and at the time I believe that IH had the patent on 4 way leveling, and all others had just side leveling. On 2 way leveling machines you always cut across the hill. As I remember the 55H had some sort of system in which oil would travel from side to side activating the leveling system. When you turned at the end of the field you had to pause half way through to let the leveling system catch up or you would end up tilted the wrong way for a bit, and with a full hopper it was be easy tip over.
