Where is everyone #5

It pisses me off every time I see that China guy steering people towards the worst of the worst companies. Go drive a #### dump truck till you get experience. Don't work for the very scum that is ruining our industry.

 

Not only is China screwing them up he is contributing to the mess we have to day with poor quality drivers. He’s screwing up the whole industry one fool at a time.

 

He's the patron Saint of rehabilitating drivers.

Saint China. /sarcasm

 

I asked my old man how he got started with driving. He went right out to the bush and hauled logs. Then he dabbled with road construction and the odd oversize load that came with it (crushers, pavment plants etc). Then he bought his own truck. Never once did he do any of that OTR doorslamming BS. Don't think he ever even drove a truck with a sleeper lol. Just goes to show that you don't need that 1 year of slavery at some #### company. When I'm tired of wrenching and decide to get behind the wheel I will not waste my time with that OTR crap.

 

I would recommend the Por-15 for the job your doing, since i havent used the Rust MD product. I have found less is more, you dont need to paint 3' down the rail. this stuff is good in sections. inspect the area and also read the info on Por-15

from its site

(
POR-15® is easier and less expensive to apply than epoxies, since it doesn't require mixing: and POR-15® dries to a high-gloss or semi-gloss finish just like paint, except that it cannot be scratched or peeled off.

Since POR-15® chemically bonds to metal, the underlying surface does not have to be sanded before application. As long as loose or flaking rust are removed from the surface, an application of POR-15® will not only cover up the rust and prevent it from spreading, but will also strengthen the underlying metal and seal holes by forming its own membranes.

POR-15 is a rust-preventive paint designed for application directly on rusted or seasoned metal surfaces. It dries to a rock-hard, non-porous finish that won't chip, crack, or peel, and it prevents rust from re-occurring by protecting metal from further exposure to moisture. POR-15 is sensitive to UV light (sun) and must be topcoated before prolonged exposure to sunlight. POR-15 is cured and strengthened by exposure to moisture and will dry faster under extreme humidity, but moderate to dry atmospheric conditions are most desirable when applying this product,because extreme humidity may cause an immediate surface cure, trapping carbon dioxide gas below the surface. When this happens, bubbling may occur. Extreme humidity at the time of application may also interfere with proper adhesion of the POR-15 coating to metal because it's almost impossible to keep metal dry under such conditions.

POR-15® is a paint-like substance which acts as a total rust inhibitor and also very effective as a metal filler. Its consistency is approximately that of paint and it has very good spreadability (one quart covers 96 square feet). POR-15® chemically bonds to rusted steel to form a rock-hard, nonporous coating that won't crack, chip, or peel. It works by isolating metal from moisture; without moisture present, steel can't rust. Thin, covering coats are best. Apply second coat when first coat is dry to touch with slight "finger-drag" remaining.

 

Most real good hands I know started with small carriers or started trucking in some sort of off road or construction work. I'm not saying that there isn't the occasional top hand that started at a mega, but it's probably rare.

#### mega carriers and anyone who supports them, either directly or indirectly.

 

That RustProof M/D is very similar, just goes on a little thicker. And they claim to be UV resistant.

 

Don’t forget about the Devil’s Tower. Little Big Horn too.

 

Searching for the original. Found this hilarity instead.

 

Which welding ticket(s)?
