Current Auction Calendar

I've seen a very low turn out during preview week. I thought I'd see more.

 

[ozarkag]

Hey if you keep all other bidders away I'll get the 2014 Pete service truck. Also here's the auction on proxibid. Took me a minute to find it.

I got the sale bill in the mail the other day. I don't care for the auctioner. Pre covid when they did live sales you may as well not show till a hour past start he'd stand there and tell his life story

@heymccall this has to be difficult man. We're here for you.

 

[digger doug]

Have you found any job leads yet ?

 

[heymccall]

I've had 17 offers.

One dealer, $30/hr, 7-3 one week, 3-11 next, then back to 7-3, in shop, no road.
Nowhere near my money.

Another dealer, no road for 6 months, but inboard facing dash cam, and full gps tracking with demerits, once in truck.

 

[skyking1]

I take it those were the worst?

 

[crane operator]

I wouldn't be interested in the swing shift either. The right job is out there, just have to keep looking.

 

[heymccall]

Oh, I gots me one. They is all Kobelco in the large hoes. In a truck, in the region, home every night.
They no have any Cats.

That swing shift wouldn't be in Murrysville at the cat shop by chance was it.

 

[heymccall]

Nope. I suppose it no matter if I tell now. Cranberry.

I'm sure it been the some how to put this nice circus

That right there says they don't trust their employees, otr I can see it but not in repair.

That might be coming straight from corporate, HR or safety. Or even their insurance carrier.

I trust my guys, but when the insurance carrier says "dash cams", if I don't have any alternative insurance sources, unfortunately, I'm probably going to have to have dash cams too.

Oh I agree, but on the face of it it's not morale builder.

 

[skyking1]

It's a bit of a slap coming from @heymccall s long term job. It is a hard step from a family shop to being a corporate drone.

 

[heymccall]

Well, it's over...well, almost.
Load out is 1 day in (friday), and Monday thru Thursday remains.

But, it's a sloped farmer's field and we recently received 4+ inches of rain over a 3 day span.

Mud city.

 

[crane operator]

Things go high/low? I didn’t watch any of the sale.
