A few years back we had a tractor driver due to dui. He would take the tractor to the bar in the afternoon, and it was not unusual to see him sleeping in his driveway the next morning. The other patrons would load him in the FEL, drive him home and leave him passed out in the FEL in his driveway.
We turn the tires around on our tractors that are used on highways. It really makes a difference.turns out ag tires don't like all those road miles...![]()
Yup when I was working general construction I made an extra $5 an hour because I had a valid license. Out of the crew of 9 or 10 only 4 of us had licences. And the boss wasn't one of them.My Unimog is listed by Mercedes as a road going tractor for purposes of import and export. Mercedes recommends turning the front chevron type treads backwards for Mogs that are predominantly on the road. I have a military design production on road tire on my road Mog but when they wear out I will end up with the chevron style.
BTW in rural areas unlicensed DUI folks are a big problem, there is no public transportation. if the person is tagged with DUI unless they can find someone to give them a ride, most end up driving anyhow and hope they are not caught. There is no UBER or Lyft in many rural areas like mine.
One of my contractors I used to use would hire high school kids as laborers and part of their job was to drive around with a van or crew truck in the AM to pick up skilled tradesman to go to work that didn't have licenses. At the end of the day they had to drop them off. They were great tradesmen during the day but its real easy to get a DUI when they hit a bar after work and have to drive 60 miles home.
The number of substance abusers in all walks of life is staggering. Growing up in a military family I didn't realize how bad it was. It's like everyone is on drugsYup when I was working general construction I made an extra $5 an hour because I had a valid license. Out of the crew of 9 or 10 only 4 of us had licences.
