  1. These f**king guys guys... The large contractors that let these guys work for them are to blame. That's what they should get for $92 an hour, -12% brokers fee. Some of the stuff on the road around here is scary.

    I agree. The other problem is that this state mandates that they have to have a certain percentage of minority help.

    So they have to use these clowns regardless, although I'm pretty sure they're fine with it because they bid these jobs

    for $125 an hour to the trucks and then shave $20 or $30 off the top and then pay these idiots. So even if these

    guys are running around here at 45mph because they are on the clock and they lose three trucks a week due to stupidity

    the contractor still comes out on top. Along 90 and the Elgin-O'hare there is about %90 garbage working out there.

    About two weeks ago my friend had his lowboy broken apart along 90 and was about to load a Volvo loader when

    one of the dummies drove right into the back of the loader on the jobsite. Drove right into the counter weight. Duh!!!

    No problem though, just tied a rope around the light and drove off. I would be devastated if I did something that stupid to

    my truck. That is at least five grand in damage to that truck, but I'm sure that guy will duct tape a headlight to it

    and run it. The idiots are taking over!

  2. It's parked on McLean Blvd at my grandma's they don't use it much. It's a 70's model I think. It looks good until you get closer one of these days they are gonna go to dump the box and either the scissor lift will go thru the floor or the box is going to flop off the truck

    My B model was parked off Mclean before I brought it home. Used to sit over on 25 before that.

  3. I just ditched Directv this year. They raised my rates again and I said nope! Cancel it! Was gonna work out to be just shy of $1,000

    a year for stupid tv. During the summer months I hardly have time to watch it anyway. Does anybody remember Swamp Loggers with

    Bobby Goodson, I liked that show. Not alot of manufactured drama, just the actual B.S that went along with the job. Was enough

    drama just with that. Ax men suck. There is no way cutting down trees is that intense. I worked for a land clearing company for 4

    years and didn't even get in a fist fight once. Maybe I was doing it wrong.

  4. My old employer had some pictures on FB that I borrowed. The Value Liner started out as a log truck and was converted to

    a rolloff to move dumpsters around the yard. It got the life beat out of it and was retired last year. Now they have designated

    the DM to be the new yard dog. The picture of the DM is from a few years ago, it doesn't look as good anymore. They were

    using it off and on around the yard and the clowns there beat it up pretty bad.
