    They ain’t so bad! Mouthy and strong willed, but they know when to shut up. At least mine does.

    So this is about 40 minutes long. American entrepreneurs in Africa in modern times.
    Interesting to say the least.
    Next time some featherweight tells the forum how hard flatbedding is in the USA, I hope someone has the ability to quick link this video for a comparison of what "hard trucking" is.

    FYI they use bananas for major component repair. This is NOT a clickbait statement.

    So about that “repaving of US287”

    They only repaved north of Boise City. That’s all I’m gonna say.

    That was something right there: I can't say I'd ever be willing to try it, even after seeing them fellas do it. That's beyond a hillbilly fix right there. But the reality of "no parts" is a real one in an environment such as that. They waited how many weeks for tires and other odds n ends which I cannot imagine was cheap.
    "put a barrel of oil on the trailer and run a hose down into the diff like an IV" now that was a laughable idea: but you know #### well they'd have done it too.
