PeterMack Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Yep. Looks like we have some more time in there yet. I think there is at least one more building to knock down.

PeterMack Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Saw this RD yesterday. Had "Rat Cartage" lettering on the door. Seems appropriate from the looks of the truck. Even came with a custom sideways dog on the hood. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/113/#findComment-325036 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranchhopper Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I don't know the pipe delivery crew hasn't missed much time since they laid us gravel guys off for the winter the full crew goes out every day. They must be hauling a lot of big pipe for I90 there is a lot of it disappearing from the yard I hear the straight truck delivery crew might be coming back soon.

Lmackattack Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 I have worked every week thru winter with just a few days off for weather related or for helping out at my former job expexting my full time gig to be slow right now. Personally I would rather be taking a few weeks off this time of year as thats what I have done the last 13 years but we are busy just like summer time.
