Driver is the guy in the bright blue shirt. It really grinds my gears, when people stand between moving equipment and a trailer, like he is when the forklift is backing up to hook up a chain. Too easy to get smushed.
My cali hauler was a 16 tire group. I think my local guy just messed up on what they can haul, I don't know what they were delivering in phoenix, but I think they just goofed on configuration. There's a reason I don't mess much with hauling for hire, every state has different regs, and I just don't have time to mess with it.
Around here we start at 430 or 5 in the morning this time of year and wrap by 1 if possible
We start at 6, and do that usually middle of june through end of august. Done by 2-2:30. The worst is usually 2-6 here in the afternoon.
There are times at the quarry, where a 60-70 ton truck crane would be handy. The 50 ton RT is kinda unhandy to haul around for one or two picks. Usually, if we can't get it picked with one of our 40 ton truck cranes, a 60 ton probably isn't going to get it either. So we're really happy with our current set up.
The worst part about putting up hay in this part of the country is there's rarely any starting early. When it gets real soupy we're lucky to start baling before 11. Between the mild temperatures and the storms every 3-4 days, I hadn't done any hay until this week. Made 350 21 bale bundles between Saturday and Wednesday. It's not a great hobby.
That storm was wild to watch the loop from the GOES satellite.
Sounds great. I want all my jobs to be walmart parking lot flat and no light poles in the way, and designated 4 pick points with welded on lift lugs, and a metal tag with the weight. 8 hour minimums, and high enough rates to pay for new machines every three years. Put in the order for me will ya?
