    Amazon Maintenance Tech here. The conveyor stuff I noticed has TGW branding which is 1 of the 4 main contractors for Amazon. They mainly are used for smaller distro centers or DUT sites, amd some of the smaller SSD (Sub Same Day) AR sort centers. That box of MDR (Motor Driven Roller) a ND Sick brand photo eyes are definatley worth more than the 6 grand you paid. The belts, and additional hardware is also worth some dollars so it's looking good just o that portion alone. The main controllers that are used for those kinds of systems are customer to each site and tend to be delivered separately and are setup Fter most of the beds are measured, built and laid out. If you ever want to setup a conveyor system give me a ring!

And he's got the best job in the whole world he gets to go out and help others, so what if he gets paid for it do you work for free. Do you see the amount of people he pays and help support their families. I don't think they want to work for free either. I bet your ass wasn't down there shoveling snow by hand. Just remember when you're pointing the finger at somebody else you got three pointing back at you. Dave if you got me fooled I want to stayed fooled. God bless you and your crew and keep up the good work. And I for one am glad to see you making money it's the American dream.

      Turns out he was Happy with $6,000, he got his truck emptied and straight away went to pick up a load, he was back in business.
      His contract with Dave was complete. Luckily the goods that were unloaded, were in good condition and can be sold on.

      Dave offers $6,000, the offer is accepted. Driver turns up with a truck full of perishables, all now decomposed and need to go to landfill. It’s now going to cost Dave more money to dispose of it all.

    I just watched this one & like Dave & his crew of misfits a lot. I’m hopeful you will make back your $6000 plus a bunch more as a return on your gamble . Helping out others in need is what makes Dave & his guys special . I’ve watched what you did for Brent up Cerro Gordo , and I believe in Karma . No “ Good deed goes unpunished “. You will be rewarded for having helped this trucker out of his jam . Thanks for posting this one. C-ya maybe someday in person to shake all your guy’s hands . 👍

    It'll take years to sell all those games. That driver knew exactly what was in his trailer. He knew he wouldn't get it sold if he said what it was 😂

    Hey guys, I used to work for a company called Doral Corporation, they are located in Milwaukee, WI. Conveyors was one of the things the did. If you can’t find anybody closer they could be an option for you. Keep up the great content.

    I just delivered a truckload of conveyor equipment just last month to a new Amazon warehouse. The load I had, had 3 other truck loads to go with it. You look around and you may be able to find some other guys with loads of the same equipment to complete the entire system

    You roll the dice, but you were truly genuinely helping someone. This is one of many reasons why I support your channel and the end of it with your generally positive intuition paid for one of many

    @heavydsparks those orange rollers are for “clutch” conveyors and help assist the counts of what is transported on them. The orange is also a gripping material to help move drums, boxes, etc. I can help with the conveyor line if you ever want to give it a shot! 😅
