    Just some work pics

    I think you're the first person I've ever heard say that a mack had a roomy cab. Remember to keep your fingers curled around the steering wheel when making turns. I forgot one day and palmed the wheel around, drove the ring and middle fingers of my left hand into the front corner post.

    Over weight fees

    How difficult is it to remove the counterweight? I mean, if you've got a way to lift it, is it a lot of bolts and a pain to get to, or is it a couple bolts?

    A few projects I have done recently

    Actually, it's more like I'M the HEF whore, I GET AROUND! There is a NS line that runs from a little farther South then Trussville all the way up to Chattanooga and it pretty much follows 59. I worked that one for a couple of months, in fact a couple of years ago, that area got hit with a snow...

    A few projects I have done recently

    That's quite the car wash on the other side of that lady's land, nice little business strip in that area. I've stayed in the Holiday Inn Express on the other side of 59 from where you're working.

    Just some work pics

    Oroville Spillway Repairs

    Whatever it is, that machine is right on it's limits, when he picks the bucket out of the water and when he goes to dump it, the machine lifts the rear track.

    Dump trailer build

    I don't know what you are running for a trailer connector, but the 7 hole connectors have a spot that is exactly for that. It would be just one extra wire depending on the vehicle you're plugging into, as I think that most newer vehicles come either with the wire already connected with no fuse...

    Air ride on vac truck

    Unless it's one of the KW 8 bag systems I wouldn't really worry about it. If you're going fast enough to worry about rolling a truck over then I'd say you're going too fast.

    Criminally bad judgement

    While I am a advocate for soldering whenever it's possible, that's not always a option, but, crimp on connectors have come ALONG way in the last couple years as has heat shrink. When I do get a chance to solder anything, fastenal has some fantastic heat shrink that has a glue lining and when...
