Overload of the Day

[Truck Shop]

Probably not a problem unless they fill the tank. Maybe just taking it home for future use. d.d.

That's true, but with all the high powered big nosed quad cab diesel pickups around?

 

[cfherrman]

As long as the tank is full or empty I'd haul it in my pickup

 

[Acoals]

All you guys can keep arguing about that tank . . . how about this guys hat ?!?!?!

From the crane incident video a page back . . .

We don't make fun of you, bundled up like a eskimo, don't make fun of how we deal with the heat. We don't get much snow, but the sun from now till mid september is hot hot hot.....

That feller with the hat is trying hard to not become a "red neck".

 

[OzDozer]

That style of hat and neck protection is common in the hot areas of Australia, it stops you from getting sunburn and heatstroke - and the latter can kill you.

Along with skin cancer.

The guy with the big hat is wearing short sleeves and the guy with long sleeves has a small hat. I do big hat and long sleeves, the spots on my arms concern me from years past.

 

[cfherrman]

I typically wear long sleeves, full brim hard hat, a face shield(a big cloth tube) on my heat to cover my ears, and I'm gtg. Face shield holds sweat really well and keeps you cool. Trick is to never take off your head coverings as you have to re sweat that and have to re drink it.

The Arizona sun can be punishing. I knew of this one guy who always told me about how he had never protected himself from the sun his whole life in construction, and that every year he has to go in and they cut something else off on his face.

How about we just switch to a thawb/thobe on the job site

 

[cfherrman]

I would like to know how those guys wear black like that

I can picture that robe getting caught in the works of a cement mixer…..

It's the dress of choice for a machinist.

 

[Acoals]

Pretty sure you would be falling off the mixer tripping over the dress before our ever got tangled up . . . .

Watchin them fellers run for their life when the SHTF makes me laugh so hard I hurt myself.

 

[fast_st]

He's got a pintle hitch, lighting wiring connection, and safety chains - all legal, what's the problem?

Of course, there may be some lingering doubt about the trailer braking system.

Hook the exhaust to the air brakes so when you let off the gas the brakes come on

 

[OzDozer]

Well, maybe not a dangerous overload, but a load that's making a heap of trucks work!

 

[Pixie]

A million bucks in tires there !!! lol

 

[OzDozer]

Yeah - can you just imagine? - "I think I can hear a tyre leaking down in there? Can you go find it??" LOL
