I agree! 🙂

44 years...if he started at 20 years of age; that would put him to around 64 years of age. Seems to be in that ballpark area?

Allen the(awesome) fuel guy. Sounds like a reality tv show.

@@mikemitchell2554 speak more spanish!!!

What Allen said.

Hope he had a good time at the nursing home. People like this deserve our respect and gratitude.

But somehow these professionals aren’t recognized on the same level as police - fire or military. The ships - The Trains or the Professional Truck Drivers are just as important and serve their country. But the police - fire or military won’t be were they are if it wasn’t for The Ships - The Trains or The Professional Truck Driver.

@@ABC-oo4vm Well im not from the US, but not being on the same level as the police in the US seems like a good thing.

We maybe looking at things in context and through the perspective of our geographic ideology. That’s why we’re different. My whole point is, doesn’t matter what Industry or what profession your in. A patriot is a person who serves their country. A police men is as important as the farmers are to the communities they put food on their tables. We’re all here to serve. Just think of all the hands involved in you receiving that fuel delivery. Think bout the domino in fact it would have if you didn’t receive the load of fuel.

I’m in the auto body business, we use outside glass companies. My friend Dave was the best, he would always drop everything to come when we called him, sometimes a couple times a day. He got cancer and went from replacing glass on Monday to dead on Friday. A few hours before he died he tried to get up, he told his family “I’ve got to get to Americas, I’ve got shit to do” (Shop is named Americas). It’s been 20 years, we still talk about him all the time. 😥

😳 That's alot to live up too! But I appreciate the kind words 🙂

So true, even the basic stuff like getting fuel that Mike does is on a totally different and interesting level to what most of us around the world do! I only have a 450L diesel tank on my ute (pickup) that I fill up when I’m in town and that is plenty to keep my tractors and farm trucks running.

@@gavinwolfe3238 I have a fuel Kart in all of my tundras even my knew one, makes it easy when I’m about to go to a call I can fill up my welding machine generators and my dueally

Getting some Lat pulls in 😂

I went back and looked. Lol!

I have seen more than once the one guy maybe in his 40ies that hauls for Coop that pumps weight the whole time that the truck is unloading

Ha I saw that too. I'm big into weightlifting just like my dad was, so we always make things a competition. Like we'll be bedding down the calves pens and I'll throw a straw bale over the gate into his pen, then he'll throw it back at me, so I'll throw it back at him and we just keep it up till we're tired 😂

I’m pretty sure jets burn kerosene, but that’s pretty similar to diesel.

Diesel but with a bunch of anti hell in it

@@Jaxon-iu6vb Yep, jet fuel is just #1 diesel, aka kerosene with sulfur still in it. Road diesel has it removed

and how many planes fly around and how many cargo ships and how many government militaries think about the amount of fuel that used and they tell us we need to pay for them to become sustainable.... canan-daaaa just said carbon tax is legal and the us is getting rid of sale tax exemptions for farmers so that's a 5.5-11 percent tax hike.

@@Levo42691 Sorry in advance for the wall of text: I agree 100% that making farmers pay extra for unavoidable carbon emissions is just bad. The reason for a carbon tax is to give an incentive to use less carbon based fuel. Example: you can avoid flying to the Bahamas, hence a carbon tax makes sense. But today, and in years to come, you cannot avoid the use those 100 A320 flight hours worth of Diesel to farm the soil Mike and his family farms. The only way to use less fuel is to not farm soil. Which doubly doesn't make sense, because we want people to eat less meat to reduce Methane emissions. Long term there might be alternatives to Diesel, like hydrogen (in a safe way, tyvm), but that is wayyy into the future. If that is on the market, then putting a tax on farm Diesel starts making sense. But lets be honest with ourselfs. The real reason is that we start with a good idea, like the carbon tax, and then it goes wrong. There are a lot of farmers and i.e. only one Amazon. Hence farmers, and other middle class people, need to pay the taxes that Amazon doesn't. I stop here because I don't want to ruin my and your day any further. Have a good one.

Well I don't know about that but thanks!

Sad part is, there's around 2ft of it in the yard, nearly 1500loads of gravel with a pitrun base 😂🤦‍♂️
