Where is everyone?

All deployed military run on gen sets, also FEMA uses them when the national guard is sent out in disaster areas.

 

These are the ones im taking out, beige and on trailers already. I just wondered why they needed so many at that specific location, these ones are Cummins engines.

 

On the hill at Tobyhanna way back in the back you will see hundreds of empty gen trailers, they mount them at Tobyhanna, or store for issue so I was told.

 

Cool, you learn something new every day, I wish I pulled a step hauling this stuff all of the time, I loved loading these talk about gravy.

 

Most government loads are gravy, back in the day they were a royal pain in the rear.

 

how come? I just like hauling small/medium sized equipment, its easy and no tarps...

I wish my company hauled more of it, there's no where around here that hauls equipment that I know of except maybe reinsfelder out of pittsburgh and I hate to leave where I'm at to do it because they have been good to me...

 

Not sure, when I lived in Northern Virginia Turkey day was my transition from lowboy to flat bed, heavy hauling in winter was not profitable and hours you could rive were reduced. I pulled iron or would go to the government loads, Letterkenny army depot, Shippensburg Navy supply depot always did me good.

I had loads that payed very well, easy to haul and most were one drop. Being that winter was my slow season it did not matter where they went since I could just bounce back out and go into a lane that paid.

Not happening much anymore but between Pa and California I would bounce back and forth all winter with a few side runs to Arizona or Utah for government loads, a good relationship with a good broker or two can keep you in and out with a decent profit.

 

We've got a couple 53 foot steps and a 48 foot step, they sit in our yard and collect dust because they had a contract hauling propane bottles on steps with knuckle boom cranes on the trucks and their rate got cut and they lost it, don't see why they don't look for some more work for them...

 

Sometimes people do not care, or have the time to do it.
