Popular Post Timothy Maikshilo Posted April 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2020 First day back here in NZ on level three. Lock the gate behind me so no close contact. We have some pretty strict rules in affect for now. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62261-first-day-back/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyGunner Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 Kiwis use way darker tint on machinery windows than we do up north. Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

Took me a bit with all the touch screen technology but got it figured out. Love the hands free blue tooth also. This 335 is a beast too.

HeavyGunner, the sun is so intense here we like the darker tint. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62261-first-day-back/#findComment-450268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bullheaded Posted May 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2020 My party is over too. Got the call, no more relaxing at home.

Bullheaded Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 22 metric Tonne Tim. Allowable is 36,000 KG and empty weight is 14,000. Yes, I have "essential" highway construction to do mrsmackpaul, LOL Not going to be fun. I'll be an hour away from anything and will be starting and ending work before I can get back to any town with anything open. Going to have a cab full of groceries and stuff. All the town up where I am going are all on reduced hours for any services.

Popular Post Bullheaded Posted May 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 8, 2020 Well worked out better than expected. I got a really nice kitchenette room in a town one hour away from the job. A very nice couple from Wisconsin bought a motel up here and totally renovated it, so it is all new. Very nice place and very nice people. The Outdoorsman in Wawa, Ontario. Still ice on the small lakes and it snowed today. Was nice the first part of the week though. Saw a Superliner still working, pulling a possum belly wood chip trailer. My mission is to get a pic. Also saw an IH 9670 cabover cattle hauler today too. More impressed with my little DD13 505/1850. It is getting stronger as it breaks in. Pulls like a champ and I am averaging 5.4 US MPG working all day in constant hills loaded both ways, and I get 6.4 on the hour run back to the nearest town. Not disappointed in going to a smaller motor. No regens so far. I'm the black 2020 in the middle. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62261-first-day-back/#findComment-450660 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still have ice and snow. We are cutting grass and job sites are dusty . The western stars look good. 1 1 Quote Keith Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/62261-first-day-back/#findComment-450670 Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the town up where I am going are all on reduced hours for any services. i have been dealing with this for 2 1/2 months now. all stores and shops are on reduced hours or closed due to the "bad beer virus" so if i do not pack everything i need, i don't eat. everything is closed when i go out in the morning, and closed when i come home. got today off and went to the deli for the first time in 2 1/2 months. they all thought i moved out of town. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
