This week ended up being filled with a little bit of everything including some new experiences.
Try as I might I simply am not able to recall what I did on Monday. I vaguely remember spending a couple of hours at the asphalt plant hauling 1/2″ rock from the quarry.
On Tuesday I found myself in a 1 ton diesel pulling a goose neck trailer with a ramp. A fun filled morning of loading a mini excavator and delivering it followed by a few other deliveries and pick ups including 60′ of plastic culvert.
Tuesday afternoon I switched back to my dump truck. I found myself in Worthington at Duffy’s Bar & Grill with hot mix waiting for my turn with the paving machine.
Wednesday morning started with yet another mission in yet another truck. This one being an F450 dually with a utility dump box on it. I made a quick stop in Shakopee at the Bobcat dealer for a cutting edge and some other small parts on my way to Savage. In Savage I stopped by United Rental for a stack of panels used in conjunction with a trench box. I’m not exactly sure what that’s used for but I don’t necessarily need to know. I was asked to get the panels, so I did.
Thursday and Friday were spent with the paving machine crew in Redwood Falls black topping a couple pain in the butt parking lots.
Saturday morning was spent at Kraft Foods with the Patching and the Paving crews. My first load was used for patching. This is interesting in that the crew uses a skid steer to scoop the mix out of the truck rather than using a paving machine.
All in all, it turned out to be a nice week at work with basically every day being unlike the day previous.
