I get to drive a big 26 footer International, and a 77 stepvan. So lame in comparison to what you guys get to drive.

I've had to operate - with very little success - this piece of equipment last week.

That's a cute little hoe there!



I will be operating an International H60 Loader with custom Forks on it soon. and it has HEAT!!! The skidder doesn't even have doors or a windshield. I can't wait for winter to make driving that fine piece of equipment absolutely miserable.


This thing, but with forks for loading log trailers.

When we first got COM4 on the road, we once blew out all the rear tires plus the rear brakes AT ONCE.

Our issue turned out to be a broken U bolt on the middle axle of the trailer- I went to drive over a pile of blocks to get the wheels off the ground to change tire #7 and my co-worker watched as the axle moved back about 8 inches... oops!

That was really fun to weld together with whatever we had available on the side of the interstate in Indiana at 10pm.

as a delivery driver, I spend most of my day in this '04 Chevy Express.
This is taken after I loaded this morning...poor thing's nose is pointed at the sky.

One of those left me stranded in the forest in northern Quebec last Feb... came very close to setting fire to it.

My last job involved driving a Ford Ranger and an E-350, picking up compost bins

These days, I get to drive one of these instead... not as fun

This is one of 6 coaches I'm the assistant-lead mechanic on year round. We do about 13-15 shows a year with them. 4 of these New Looks and 2 Old Looks. Only one of the 24,000lb buses has power steering, and I'm a tiny, tiny man, so it makes it interesting to navigate these guy around the yard when I'm testing 'em.
