    I have moved several of those compactors from Vernon. They are rough on fuel mileage. You also have to watch how they load those compactors, they will not position them right. I hate it when I can't watch them load.

      @@bamahotshot1079 I think they did a good job on positioning it. I told them beforehand where I wanted it and which side to face forward. I was getting about 8.5 miles per gallon. Surprisingly.

    Im upgrading to a class A cdl i passed all of the written tests. Now i have to go back to school should be a breeze. But i have to say there's no reason why i cant go test tomorrow i cant stand the law that creates a road block preventing me from bettering myself. Hopefully it pays off. Stay safe man.

    Hi , Alex from Thailand !
    You give the prices for your different loads so it could be interesting to give your gross and net for 2024 !
    Average price per miles as well...Thank you
