    Has Richie Bros Auctioneers lost what put them ahead?

    Not at the St. Louis one. You can roam freely, climb all over anything, start anything etc. etc. Have never had a RB employee even look my way.

    Lee, I haven't seen you post what dealer you work for or where you live but do you live in Mo by any chance? Your dealer looks a lot like my local dealer.

    I'm sure this will affect the Pelletiers, I hope it doesn't put them under, though. http://www.maine.gov/tools/whatsnew/index.php?topic=Portal+News&id=225851&v=article-2008 Judging by the way the Discovery channel bumped to the season finale to Sun at 11am, I don't think we'll be getting...

    Why!?!?!

    We had a about 7 trucks have the drivers side windows busted out and the CB's stolen about 5 years ago. The police came out and did a report but acted as if we were bothering them, they could care less. Probably meth heads. Who other then a geeked up redneck methhead would steal CB's?

    Some random work pictures.

    I'm right outside of St. Louis. Private jobs seem to be going pretty slow but there is a lot of Interstate work going on. I was just in one of the more popular quarries around here today, a lot of trucks getting asphalt at the plant and I saw 1 truck getting rock. Not a good sign.

    My favorite parts of the show are when they focus on the shop, not so much the new trailer shop but the regular shop. Jeff is probably my favorite guy on the show, Eldon and Larry crack me up too, though. I keep seeing a black Peterbilt 388/389 in the background but they always change camera...

    Did they get rid of Bonecrusher? He wasn't my favorite driver but he used to be in dang near every episode, haven't seen him yet this season. Also, the only regular mechanic I see is Donnie. They must go through a lot of mechanics because I almost never see the same guy twice. Donnie seems like...

    Is Trucking the most crooked Industry out there or is it just me?

    I'm speaking mostly about the dump aspect of the industry. I know there are plenty of good companies out there but it seems like every medium-large dump truck company I've come across is crooked as a question mark. Company I used to work for did a bunch of contracted work for another dump...

    New Job, a little nervous...

    By training programs, do you mean the hands on ones or the online ones you take on AccessFreightliner.com? If it's the online ones, don't swear it, they're generally short and pretty easy.

    Rockwell suspension question?

    No doubt camelback susp is tough but I never really liked driving dump trucks with it. Always feels like it's leaning too much when your loaded.
