Probably could use a bigger auger and a truck With more horsepower I think this thing has an engine out of a 656 international or maybe one of love & loves cubs 😂
 
Time I got the second load on it was 315 and they quit dumping trucks at 230 so that wasn’t going happen it’s a 2 hour drive to the other elevator
 
They are nice to have . One thing about it you train an ape 🦍 to drive a truck takes a chimpanzee to be good at it it 😂 either way it ain’t a hard job . I kinda enjoy getting in a truck once in awhile I wouldn’t live in one for all the money In the world though . I have a friend that drives over the road and there is no way I could do it
 
Yes, my ex wifes half brother was a manager for a big company here called carver, he said driving a dump truck from the quarry to the asphalt plant all day was a boring job? Never tried it, i may or may not like it?
 
Only as boring as driving a tractor around a field all day. There’s worse things to do for a living.

I’ve spent my fair share of time living like a turtle. I could do it again if I needed to put food on the table, but have no real desire to.
 
SV, Looks like a decent truck. I finally got my CDL about ten years ago. Work for my local township chasing snowflakes and wearing out cutting edges! Last year I did help my old employer out part time running trucks and equipment. Hope I can do it again.
 
I have experienced driving a truck some in the past 5 years. You get see how many idiot drivers there are on the road for sure.
 
I agree, I have driven truck but don't want to do it every day. If I was hungry I always could. I tell young people the more skills you have the better your chances of having a job.
 
The idiots just keep getting more numerous! Just last night someone came up the entrance ramp behind me, rather than pull in behind floored it and passed on the shoulder to get ahead but then had to brake to slow down for the one in front of me! I used to like driving, not so much any more.
 
After 40+ years of repairing tractors, trucks, and equipment, that others broke, and retiring, I had a friend ask me if I would drive truck for him, part time. I have driven dump trucks hauling top spoil, bark, gravel, and currently drive a flat bed 48' to B.C two to four times a week, hauling wall block and pavers. Kind of strange to pull into the yard and tell them that there's a problem, and they fix it.!!!

But I still fix my buddies old haying tractors and equipment.
 
I'm taking mine to a feed mill 2 hours away. They can only take one load every 6 weeks. I have one more load to haul around March 1st.
 
It’s kinda boring but it’s kinda fun . I loved it because I got to run the loader load the truck then go deliver the gravel
 
That’s absolutely the best feeling there is . I hate working on trucks thats the nice thing about my summer job if something breaks and I don’t want to fix it then it goes to town
 
That’s the only reason I kept my cdl when they changed it so you had to have your medical card on file I just about Let it go
 

So what drove the price of wheat up lately? Noticed a neighbor who stored his wheat on the ground in one of those long plastic deals come load it up and haul it in.
 
I can run a tractor 60 days straight and never get tired of it and I have a lot . Driving truck is tolerable

Ok. I didn't figure C hina was buying much. Guess we all better sign up this free training we are going to get so we can all get high paying computer jobs. I eat beef, pork, chicken, or turkey every day. We won't need grains when meat is banned because of the methane gas they produce and farmers are run out of business except for the kale growers. Don't suppose you can grow kale in your area.
