    Thought I'd share the KPI-JCI plant I run at work

    Here's the KPI-JCI 4250 impact crusher I run at work. I started out running a 950 loader for someone else running the plant and eventually earned the chance to run it myself. I'm still learning, and in most cases, the hard way, but I enjoy it. I've worked with 4230's and 4250's and they are...

    Peterbilt 379 Flat Top lowboy project

    02Dmax: Not to step on Fastdirt's toes but he did have his truck stolen, but fortunately it was found and recovered! I believe I remember reading about this in his other thread pertaining to his work in the "showtime" forum. Fastdirt: The truck looks great! It's such a same when a project...

    Lets see your "ultimate" service truck!

    CD, I think you found yourself a good looking truck. Will it mostly stay on one site at a time or will you have a driver with hazmat endorsement and mobilize fuel/lube daily/as needed? I love the look of those older Autocar's. Were you in the market for a fuel truck that was an automatic or was...

    New Holland LW 110 "GENERAL WARNING" indicator on dash lighting up

    Hello everyone, the company I work for just purchased an ex city New Holland LW 110 wheel loader from an auction in town. We have gotten it back in the shop and started repairing the issues the loader had when purchased. Bossman put a new hydraulic pump in the loader and that solved the...

    Reject's really cool rental jobs!

    I think threads like Tiny's and yours are great reads and very informative. It's a side of the industry that I feel less informed about but I have really enjoyed following Tiny's thread and look forward to more from yours! Thanks for taking the time to post for us.

    Rigging up D8's and 345's for the mountains

    Now that's the type of work I'd love to get involved with. Working on a pipeline and hanging on to the side of mountains would be wild to say the least!

    Pointers on blowing a pull string through conduit

    Now after reading some of these responses I might have to try one or two out at work, thanks guys! We usually just cut a 20 oz bottle in half and use it as a kite to carry the string down the pipe while pushing air through the line with an air compressor. Granted this is usually with smaller...

    Bill to raise GVRW from 80,000 to 96,000 and in some cases 126,000 help or hurt?

    I found this article on CNN about a bill proposed to raise the GVWR on the roads and it had me thinking. Will this help or hurt the trucking industry? Sure it'll save on the amount of rigs on the road, but where will the excess drivers go? I thought it was interesting and wondered what you guys...

    Let's see your end dump/long dump pics!

    I like the idea Rock On Trucking has with the themed trucks, because it does make them stand out and become noticed, but I'd rather make my Company trucks stand out with my own advertising for the business which pays the bills (but that's my opinion). After that, they are some great looking...

    some link belt action

    Out of all my trips to Snowmass and Aspen, I haven't made the trip out of ski season. It's beautiful year round but I really need to get up there and experience it during the summer. Maybe I'll pass you up there sometime this Summer, in which I'll have to introduce myself and thank you for all...

    EGS's pictures from work

    Those are some great pictures! That's a serious cut those two hoes and dozer are working. What's the reason for such the large change in elevation?
