    Not exactly. Earth moving and hauling. Might as well write off two trailers, truck, and tractor.

    I don’t really know anything about running a business though; I just want a job where I belong. Also, I’m a bit disappointed in UPS because I was expecting to work 9am-5pm five days a week, earning $21 per hour.

    16' telescopic lift
    17.5" wheel and tire upgrade
    110v and solar panel charging
    Rear jacks
    Tarp kit

    This is basically the trailer but in black.

    I got some more stuff from Gwyn on Sunday, and the rolling cart/table thing on the left was not properly secured; I suspect that it bounced out of the truck somewhere between Warrington and New Hope…

    I obtained some scrap and was allowed to cut it up on the guy’s property; I was unable to fit it all in the truck and will be picking more up tomorrow, more than likely…
