I've been working on Christmas gifts and finalizing the deal with two other employees to buy out my boss. We did add another F-550 and a little international. I'll post up some stuff this afternoon. Sent from my SM-G970U using The Garage Journal mobile app

At some point in time someone will have to empty all the trailers/storage boxes. The reality is it'll be you or a family member or the next land owner. Over the last 6 years I've only managed to get rid of 2 out of 11 trailers. We've definitely downsized vehicles and equipment but the extra...

Yes. He's in Wiley. He's got finals and then he's done on the 15th, I think. He hasn't been home this semester and we've only seen him once. I can't stand it. His roommate left in October and went hom Sent from my SM-G970U using The Garage Journal mobile app

On older tractors above 60 horsepower they can start to get difficult. Those ford 6000 commanders are difficult but the 5000's are real simple. I think a lot of the difficulty is in the goofy transmissions everyone was coming up with. That select o speed transmission was terrible. And...

I feel like people are wanting to spend money after being locked down. Which is weird because my wife and I were only off about a month. Here in Indiana, pretty much everything is open in some capacity. Still have a mask mandate and some restaurants are social distancing. We had several...
