A customer who won't let you leave is not always a good thing, especially when you have other jobs scheduled. But we all get that one customer that just doesn't understand that other folks are paying for a slice of our time too. You hate to put them off or worse yet, tell them no but sometimes you just have to do that to keep the jobs flowing.

Actually Chris is the employee and John is the boss, but he knows where Chris is most valuable and not too proud to grunt. Smart man. Although he should find another Timmy for Chris and stay in the truck seat himself. Grunt work is harder at his age is my guess since I am 67 now. I slowed down a lot in my late forties with heart/lung issues. Wished I could have kept going longer but such is life.

Like many have said or referred to. You took a relatively small job, but even though there probably isn’t the kind of $$$ a pod can make ya, you did the same quality of work as if it was a full canal system!! That didn’t go unnoticed, you were already there, and because of your Uncle John’s surgery, you were due on another job like yesterday!! Hahaha. Sometimes it all comes together. The fact you have built all the skills you have, even like the trucking that’s not quite for you. You did a really decent job and it helped in this case as you didn’t have to pay another trucker to haul the product to ya. Wonderful!! It’s why I keep coming back!! I see now that Brandon (Elite Earthworks for the readers) has a bigger machine he is trying his hand at a pond dredging!! He has even said he learned well from your videos and when he worked with you for that stretch! I haven’t watched the video yet, but that’s next!! Haha. My evening goes to these two videos and then I’m busy watering to keep a firebreak in our area in Southern Alberta! Getting drought here like much of the west in North America! Hoping John’s doing good and take care of yourself! Sometimes a guy can get too busy all of a sudden and slip and hurt themselves,,,,,, I know all too well!!! Hahaha.

Yup. Has some areas where I had to pay extra for them to make more trips with single axle truck due to overhead clearance issues, but still worth the extra money to save time by having it spread. Depends on the distance to the quarry. Sadly even the single axle guys had to be taught to tailgate the gravel instead of pile it. Don't know how you can be a dump truck driver without knowing how to tailgate forward or backward. Without that skill you are just a driver not a dump truck driver. Sad.
