Trust me, I don't feel like I won anything. It sucks, flat out. Most of the e-mails are delivery requests. How fast can you deliver order #______? Others are complaints about something my guys did, or didn't, do. Then there are the ones that I get from engineers that are either so ****ing techincal that I do not have any idea what they are talking about or, they are completely ****ing stupid and make me want to tell them that their parents sent them to engineering school and got ripped off. Then, if that wasn't enough, there are the ones that I get from China, Belgium, South America or the Middle East that are in broken English and that I have to try and decipher just what it is that they are asking me for.
Ok, end of rant. It's been a long *** day.

so today I would think I got 70/80 but I don't have to respond back to each one. thank god. I wouldn't be able to do the other parts of my job.
I get so buried in paper work and end of month is really brutal.

Sounds like you volunteered that 385 for me to get on. I'll be down next weekend. 
In all seriousness I couldn't imagine running a 200k lb machine all day every day. I'm sure the novelty of it wears off after a while, but dang. That's a lot of machine. You could probably load a triaxle in 2 or 3 buckets at most. I bet I could've loaded our triaxle in 10 buckets or so from the 330. And that's really packing it right in.

the 325 zero clearance will do it in 5.
and the 345 will do it in 3.

That's funny. When I got my first cell, you could choose between the bag phone and a mobile mount...both Motorolas. I got the mobil mount and had to run the wires from the trunk of my car to the front and the handset. Then, I had to run the wiring to the window mount antenna.
Man have things changed. I've been through about 20 phones since then and have had the best luck out of Motorolas.

I'm hoping that the truck you posted is what is left from a rollover that someone decided to mess around with. I think I'd kill the person if they did that to a perfectly good PSD.
And it sits WAY higher in the front than in the rear from what I can see.
Also: Note the STOCK exhaust hanging under there.
I'm really hoping that is a Photoshopped set of pictures, but it doesn't look like it.

The front looks like that because theres no bumper.
Its got duals on it.
I dont think it is either.
