Kari and I own a trucking company. Owner/Operator hauling oversize loads. Also do repo work.
My Dad was a Owner/Operator. When I was 16 in 1958 I started helping him drive in the summer when school was out. 1957 AutoCar with a 220 Cummins turbo with a 13 speed Spicer. That was before CDL's and I was supposed to be 25, but what the heck, I never had a problem. I still have diesel fuel in my blood, all the Tucker men do.
I have a son now that talking about buying a Peterbilt.
 
I'm The Gofer when someone needs an easy button or a solution to a problem. Run a print business and raise parrots with my wife. Need some business cards or t-shirts? Ploy want a cracker?
 
@Magnum783 My neighbor owns a machine shop, does more 358's than anything. But my very good buddy puts out over 700rwhp with a 6.0 bottom wearing l92 heads(6.2) square intake port, e85 carb'd. We stuffed it in a fox body stang, 10's on motor and 9.62 eating a 250 shot, 1.5 60 foot times. I LOVE engines.
 
I work in a chemical plant making broadleaf weed killer. If you spray your lawn or field in N America odds are real good it came from my plant.

I do golf course maintenance work, and we spray a fair bit of broadleaf herbicide, among other things... during the season. Thank goodness for PPE
 
I own a small Artisan Jam & Jelly business called Tin Roof Market. We make 63 flavors currently. Regular flavors and some unique flavors like Banana Rum, Jalapeno, Raspberry Jalapeno, Orange Dream "dreamsicle", Caramel Apple and Salted Caramel Pear to name a few. We sell online and to stores mostly around St. Paul, Minneapolis area. I make jam for 4 days a week and 3 days I cut fire wood and spend hours on this site.

Full time in a self-contained EC classroom for the severe and profound. I also drive a short bus......overtime. All this in an elementary school with more than 90 miles a day of bus driving. I also seem to be profiled as an enforcer, when the larger behavioral issues break bad, and they do in a big way. Until you see an 11yr old flip all the tables and chairs, attempt to attack other children, and then proceed to mess on himself you haven't lived. Did I mention I also get the same time off as my son and wife.........priceless.

Good work I am looking to do a ford soon may keep you in mind. I am a ford guy by choice just so much racing is setup for Chevy platform it's just what I have done. Let's see a pic of this car sounds great.
 
IMG_20140528_151427.jpg I grew up in a Blue Oval house, still own two fords, wifes edge and my Stang. My stang is a yellow 2000GT. This is my pals with the Chevy LS motor stuffed in it. I don't hate on any of the American cars, Id take a v8 charger, g8 or anything else with a American v8 under the hood. I give the little four cylinder cars credit, takes a lot of $$ to make them go, but I just love the torque that they don't have.
 
I'm 62 and medically retired but ever since I was a kid I was involved in fire fighting equipment (family business) and working in the dirt, mostly with beef cattle. I've also spent time horse logging, haying, contract fire fighting (water tender), and running a rental. In 1999 I was injured while working as a full time firefighter/EMT and I have been on disability ever since. Workers comp paid for me to improve my vegetation management business and to go back into contract fire fighting as a faller. Most of my time now is spent volunteering in one form or another for the Boy Scouts.
 
i need the drive tires replaced on a old ford F600 it has those 3 piece rim with 9.00-20 tires.
you can replace mine for me :)

20" tires don't exist in this state even. I bought the last 3 a few years ago for another truck and they fell apart not even a year later, must have been pretty old
.
In my International I just bought 22.5 wheels to replace the 20s. They were only 20$ each from the tire shop and they blasted and powder coated for $70.

I.P. is a good company to work for. I worked for them for 10 years. It was supposed to be a temporary thing just for the summer. Then, I ended up working their full time while going to school. Ran most of the machines their, worked as a shift coordinator then worked my way to sales. I have uncles that still work there and my dad just retired from there.
 
My full time job is as a sales manager for construction products and equipment. I am also a 3 term trustee (kinda like a mayor, but out in the country) and finally I have a little side business doing pavement maintenance. I stay busy trying to pay for all my kids and my Hobie's. Guns and saws get expensive.
