Hello I will tell you a story my father thought me back in the 60’s an I have found it to be very true “ he said every day of your life you will have some fantastic days , you will have some fare day , you will have some days you will wish you never got out of bad “ . “BUT then the most important part of his story was “ “ people never has time to do things correctly BUT. They ALWAYS have time to do it over “. That has stuck in my head for around 65 years an found it to be true every day of my life . Thanks
I did sod and trees for a year and a half more than 20 years ago, I didn’t know it was the big leagues of trucking. Pay wasn’t that good and 75 hour work weeks. I don’t miss it, been doing LTL P&D for the last 20 years, and much happier with my banker’s hours.
Up here in Michigan we call those big rolls, mostly used for commercial wide open sites. We got machines that cut 1 square yard rolls, roll it up, shoot it up a conveyor onto a platform where a robotic arm stacks and interlocks the rolls on 100 count pallets, then we haul 22-24 pallets on our flatbeds. I started working sod over 50 years ago when it was cut with a walk behind sod cutter, and we followed behind rolling it up and placing it onto a conveyor that was chained to the trucks rubrail and two guys on the truck would manually stack it. Thank god for automation.
Just a guy, doing what it takes to make a life. The people that make it in this life are the ones who adapt and figure out how to stay ahead. I'm sure Tim would prefer the $4/mile OTR trucking but I don't think that's ever coming back so he's rolling with the punches and finding ways to make money in trucking.
I appreciate the hard work you put in . Don’t listen to these A-Holes leaving comments. Keep doin what you’re doin . You’re a survivor. Make it through these hard times you’re golden.
Amen at least he ain’t quitting. I come from the old school truck driving 6070 hours a week I drove regional I drove local. I never had my own truck but I treated that truck like it was mine people today. Don’t give a shit.
I do landscape work for a living and in Hendersonville nc the company we go thru has two quarter million dollar machines that cut stack and wrap it. It’s crazy to see
Why wouldn't you try different branches for your business? Good for him, attempt everything you can to make your business grow. Don't just settle for one direction.
Hey Tim and Braxton are you doing on this beautiful day and I like the content in the videos and I like watching your RUclips videos and they are very educated and I like the way you explain things to your viewers
I have been a subscriber since the very beginning when you got the Air Force truck from bruce. I still watch all of your videos but I do kind of Miss how things used to be with you guys working on some of your projects and getting them done. Just wondering what happened to the red Freightliner Classic project and the tow truck oh and I almost forgot *COIGH, COUGH... Brax's cabover.(Airforce)...*COUGH..???
O double hockey sticks HELL NO!!!!! You never thought of if something breaks while unloading, the truck can not move 100% empty on one side AND 100% loaded on the other side!!!!! I delivered brick for many years and could see the trailer twist making unsafe driving with lop sided weight.
If you’re hauling sod you need to get in contact with super sod/patten seed company on hauling sod I work for the company an we are a very big sod company on the east coast that cuts a lot of sod
@wickedvegas702 took me like ten minutes to get proficient in one and we have some real burnouts that can barely function but they can drive a cat like nobody's business it's not rocket science
@dougjones6823 cool..I don't know where u got it's hard to or complicated to drive... but I'm glad u speculate it's cute...and good job babe congrats u r smarter then a 10yr old
@@TimHollis3006 I don’t know about that, up here in Michigan we haul it down from the farm in the thumb to a yard where we resell it for $1.50 more per yard than it costs, so a 2000 yard load nets a $3000 overall profit for a trip of less than 100 miles. If you take off for fuel, tires, and wear and tear, drivers wages it’s still pretty fair return for 1/2 days work.
You should load/unload both sides equally. To keep from damaging your trailers. It will keep from cracking the trailers. It used to crack leave springs.
and most of all folks take your time and make cold showers a number one thing in your lives, because it will remind you of when you had nothing but cold all around.
If you thought Insurance was high for your Wrecker wait till they find out your exculvater is working Dozer hoe exculvater anything that works under ground be extra careful You already know you can clean up after a storm or build ponds where your not dealing with big companies like refineries or oil companies As much as you got goin on probably would make since cents for you to be self insured great stuff you can lay that sod its easy if it is on a hill put big staples in it or the first rain or water truck will make you cry brax can lay sod git the right tool for your skidster couple hour job haulin and puting it down is a big savings still not cheap you gotta have a nice yard with a new house keep doin what your doin Be Safe
You were into this excavating thing a couple years ago ! And it didnt pan out ! So here we go again !! Whatever happened to the guy you said you partnered with for the trucking business ??
As a professional photographer and videographer that does a lot of different types of media production what you need to understand is this: every industry has tons of niches with different customers even within the same service, the amount of customers, what they want, and money available changes every single year! Excavating is the type of work that would drastically change, especially depending on what kind of customer you go after and how, it’s not a one trick pony. When you fail you learn how not to do it and you keep learning then circle back later.
The company that I run we are a bulk potable water company but today I have half of my drivers out excavating ditches for water lines. Tomorrow everyone is hauling shipping containers so you have to go where the work is.

@@Middleman570 Tim says he is so busy with trucking and continues to buy more trucks ! Just seems he gets a new toy every now and then is gun ho for awhile then losses interest and moves to something else like he did a couple years ago with buying a used highlift ,frontend loader, dozer , then we didnt see them anymore Then he bought the tow truck was looking to upgrade to a rotator tow truck next thing ya know he sells the tow truck ! I guess when you have money the sky's the limit on what you want to play with next !

I drove a truck for sod farm for 37 years that is have load the truck was over wate all time we had farm tags. When it rain the truck wold be way over 10000 I had 96 T800 425cat turn up to the max. We don't have much of hills. In oklahoma has u do
I ran 2 loads of big rolls to ft. Worth out of OK. First load was rolling mud off trailer. I weighed second load which was drier. 126k on 5 axles. Hauled to D/FW 6 days a week for a few yrs
Isn't this about the time of year Cargill Grain Division lays off their part time fall hires for harvest season? They're so big layoffs could be in Alt fuels, in beef, pork production, or ten other divisions of the corp including export facilities. My son manages a Bovine Steak Factory they own in the TX Panhandle. His yard has been full, but Cargill is known to stockpile a week or two of boxed beef in refrigerated railcars at the packing houses, shut down to one crew to try to break the fat cattle market.
Yeah they do this every year. Everything slows down during Christmas and New Years. All fourth quarter contracts are pretty much filled. Nothing to panic about or fear monger over.
@@rt3box6tx74 what I seen is Not seasonal. I Research for a company & I'm seeing many as in thousands of big companies laying off & Firing workers. Not seasonal
@ I’m not saying you’re sharing fear the media is. And job losses across America is real because corporate America wants more money with fewer employees. Our government doesn’t want to say anything about it because it might affect their perks and kickbacks. I have done a lot of research on job fluctuations I’m a VP of operation for emergency management company. It affects us greatly in times of needing an influx of labor like post hurricane getting temporary workers can be very difficult. So our HR team is constantly watching. I appreciate what you’re doing and sharing I don’t want you to think I’m saying you’re doing anything wrong by sharing what’s out there.
I am always impressed with how truck drivers and farmers are experts in everything.

Its either Braxton buying another truck and starting a new business or your going different direction while using bad Click Bait
Remember, the brown side goes down.
I can get you the best rate on SOD or seed Tim. We also have hydro sead
And sod is a yr round business here in Texas.
On this week's episode of clapped out trucking and sons
Legal grass good to see you gone Fae strength Fae strength and see your family aw happy M8 good for yous keep grin above chin 😅
If you’re hauling sod you need to get in contact with super sod/patten seed company on hauling sod I work for the company an we are a very big sod company on the east coast that cuts a lot of sod
It takes a big machine to handle two of them rolls
Tim any video You put out is awesome and amazing l enjoy watching them and sometimes I learn something Thank You
Good delivery as usual. But, have decided not to hit like anymore if I don't see or get the description.
You still got the wrecker?
Can someone put the time stamp where Tim almost lost Rooster? Or is this click bait?
Tim,u drove that skidsteer like a boss..
It's not hard anyone can do it

That's bad sod... you tell by the separation process and the way It was rolled and packed.
Positive is the only waY!!!
Git'r done!
Sod is the cheapest paying freight out there! Who are you kidding?

How about vestal freight?
Be careful on the farm load clause . DOT will hammer you here in Texas.
How are those new Mack tractors?

Typical utuber M8 knows little learning alot but hats off to man
I didn't know tree's made suspension parts....
another day another video of the dash
Where's the houseboat?
Exactly
We charge $4.25 a loaded mile here for sod delivery
Lots of B.S.
You should know not to onload one side of the trailer at a time
