    Several inches of rain in a few hours is never good.

    Only to do damage. Does not help the soil as it all runs away.

    Much more fun when the Cheer leaders are doing the washing.

    The only time I even think of washing the truck.

    It’s rained out about every day this way for the last month or so. Feel like where in Seattle.

    Nothing that can not be rebuilt!!

    If it is cost effective is another story.

    With the cost of detachable drop decks I could see a $ 20,000.00 refurbish or more.

    I say that about my equipment everyday. 17 year old truck and trailer is probably the same vintage or older. Trailer is an old Gainey trailer and they went out of business years ago.
    Rumor is we are supposed to get some new used trucks but I'll believe it when I see it. I ain't holding my breath.

    I know the feeling. The guy with the low bed is at a place I worked at for a while, and we always had old trucks there. Hell I had one with 900k on a never rebuilt c15..

    I am not allowed to ever touch wood unless it is firewood.

    I don't like cloth seats. Too much chafing.

    Bottom of the deck peeling back?
    Some rocks in the cradle?
    5th wheel release arm sheared off?

    I pre trip this truck everyday as we are supposed to. It was there and all good yesterday. I was told I should have caught this earlier. Bullshit statements like that just piss me off. Junk rental trailer deck peels off and then sheers the handle and lock off, never felt a thing.
