Nothing like owning the same truck twice.
Actually, the attached outside tire was hot because it was taking all the weight.
They check out brakes the same way to see if any aren't working.

when i worked for the outfit in atlanta, they had a guy take off down the road in the old ass 23 meter black and white truck with boom still up. He hit a bridge with main boom on i-16Local guy was willing to make anything work. Send him out with the 80, give him a labourer and a lift of 6' 4x6, and he'll get that truck set up and we'll pour!
Then he somehow forgot to put his boom down, folded up the outriggers and drove about 10' before it tipped over on it's side and smashed the forms he'd just filled.
3 hours later that bitch was torched into pieces and fuckin gone baby, gone!
Last I heard he's driving slingers now.

That last part sounds like a bonus. "No presenting? How do I get a perma bandThis would probably get you fired around here
I also got told by my direct manager I was doing "bad politics" when I pointed out that my department sucked. Apparently I'm supposed to be the "Department champion" when I have to present a report in front of the brass. That got me banned from presenting to the "upper class citizens" for a year or so and thus getting less "visibility"

I hate to say it like that, but I actually enjoyed presenting to top management as I felt like I was bringing problems up to a level where decisions would be taken. To the great dismay of the middle management, it seems.That last part sounds like a bonus. "No presenting? How do I get a perma band
Problem of this : Middle management is my direct management...

Pretty much. That's one of the reasons why I wanted to get out of an HQ role and back into the field. It's much easier to identify problems and solve them without butt hurting people, well less likely to get butt hurt.I'm convinced corp jobs are all the same

Now I popped a park chamber at a stop sign. Had to deploy the overtime beacons for this one.

Found out that our Cat 226 has low oil pressure on a less than 1 year old rebuild (idiot overheating it) and less than 1500 total hrs. So of course our production guys answer is instead of maybe not buying a Cat skid steer to replace our 16 year old bobcat we want to double down and get a second Cat.

I carry a cheap 3m heat gun when I tow, just to throw a random temp check on trailers that sit awhile.
I put my hand on all the sidewalls after I've gone a distance.
