You did get an alignment afterwards right? Might need some more caster so it will track straighter

I am sure he did, however, I do need to verify one was done.

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] every truck at the ranch has a bent tailgate and worn out diamond plating on the rails from the trailer rubbing.. the new flat bed has a mile of clearance though. with the hay on it in my pictures. Throw a lift on the trailer. or flip the axles to the other side of the springs.

Axles already been flipped, getting a 3" lift to it. Don't need or want anymore dents in the truck. Just paid $$$ to get the last of them out of it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

yeah dents suck.. You need to replace your bed with one of them low side fifth wheel boxs [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] common on the centurions.

I once had hours like that[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I try every few weeks or so to talk my manager into those type of hours[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] However, he just laughs[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] I think more would get done by working us 10 hours a day, 4 days a week[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

We just finished a job for our bakersfield office, 4 of us finished a job that was 2 months behind in just over 2 weeks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] Even worked 7 hours Sunday[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
Well there should be some decent OT @ 2x for that Sunday, most likely.

I take it you're not going to make a Hollister appearance this weekend? This will only be my 3rd ride since we rode Miami <fat dude flying over handlebars smiley>.
