Breaking news- Randyp buys scraper, hires helper, doubles dirt moving capacity! Daingerfield, Texas- Randyp has added a new scraper to his dirt moving operation and hired an operator so he can concentrate on driving the new dump truck, which is twice as big as his old dump truck. thanks to Hatcity- the brains of this outfit.

same here. supposed to hit the 60's here Wednesday.

I thought about ol freightrain, but I don't have his number. Yeah, they towed me from Newcomerstown truckstop. Towed the truck with the load of treated lumber too. The guy at Reed's asked me if I was going to drop the trailer or wanted the whole thing towed. He said it would cost more to take the trailer too. I said Kenworth is paying, take the whole thing.

apparently no bosses or managers were there, because if I heard an employee say they "didn't give a f**k" about the place I couldn't show them the door fast enough. You don't need people like that working for you, and there's probably lots of people that would appreciate her job. And there's no way they couldn't have heard her...hmmmm-just thought of something-maybe she was the boss man!

I miss Rhasler too- especially his pictures. Last time I talked to him he said he was busier than a 3 legged cat covering up doo-doo on a concrete sidewalk, but that was a good while back.

Yeah, I was just there for warranty work only because I broke down and it was the nearest KW dealership but I was a bit shocked. Sounded more like what you'd hear on the back row of a truckstop when some drivers are stuck for the weekend and get a case of beer and then another case of beer and then...certainly not what i'd expect to hear at a truck dealership, or any public place of binness for that matter. Hope I never have to go there again.

I saw it in N.C. at an ATHS show.

Nice find! I see an auxilliary trans. no. on the plate there, i'm guessing that's what it is, a 5 main, 3spd. aux.

good thinkin'.

The thing is, it wasn't directed at me and didn't seem to affect my situation one way or the other. The service manager was actually pretty nice, unlike the 2nd. shift guy Jeff talked to on the phone the night before. Jeff said he was a real a-hole. I was sitting in the customer waiting room just listening to the conversations going on. A female type person came back to the service desk and asked somebody where the paper was that she was supposed to have. A man said "I put it on your desk". She says "there it is, on top of the f**king file cabinet!", and stomped off. A few minutes later a man was saying how he was going to "f**K somebody up", I was assuming he was talking about another 2nd. shift worker just from the conversation. Then the female type person came back and said she "didn't give a f**k about this place, I just happen to work here!", along with more bitching and cussing. And all of this was loud enough for me to hear as well as anyone else who might have come in. And that's just the parts I remember, it was going on pretty much the whole time I was there. I've heard a lot of cussing in my time, done a bit myself, I've just never been in any place of business and heard such carrying on before.

Or you could get one of these- the torch this guy is using is about 5 or 6 feet long, and is capable of cutting the rings off these mill rolls, so a counter weight shouldn't be a problem. They've had the fire department called more than a few times, especially when they do this at night. The folks around there think the whole place is on fire.

I saw one of those once. Even took a photograph of it.

I did see a nice looking Peterbilt while I was waiting.

She didn't deliver the fuel line. As a matter of fact I was debating whether or not to contact Kenworth and tell them what a classless, totally non-proffessional place KW of Canton was or just forget about it. I have never been in a place of business before and heard such cussing and bickering as I did there.

As Freightrain would say, i'm late to the party, I see you've got it figured out. But here's what I do- click "more reply options" if I want to post a picture- not necessary if you're starting a new post. Then at the bottom where it says "attach files" I click on "browse", then go to "pictures", "desktop", or "documents"-where ever you saved your picture- then right click on it, when the window opens click "select", then click "attach this file", then when the picture is finished downloading do the same for the rest, then click on "add reply", and there you have it. I'll post a random picture by doing this procedure now... Yep, it works.

yes, she has nice equipment.

At least they brought my delivery back today. I think it was a different delivery person though.

That's the stupidest thing i've ever seen. Totally ridiculous- she should know better than to wear those shoes to the lemon grove. She did a pretty good job on everything else though except a loose fitting tank top would be better than the long sleeves.

I was delayed a day, waitin' on the wrecker. There it comes now. All because of a broken fuel line. Had to be the one that goes behind the fuel filter and housing, had to take all that off to replace the line. Sure hated to miss whatever she's delivering.

You're not doing too good there Larry- just in case you don't get out, can I have your pickup?

It's hard enough to compete with TMC now when it comes to cutting rates and taking freights.

Thanks for the info. This one's near Lisbon, Ohio.

saw one on the back window of a Jeep not too long ago that said "if you can read this flip me over". It was written upside down.

I've done that before too. When the bank closes during the middle of the day for 2 hours the drive thru is still open so I just walked over and stood in line between the cars.
