Carroll, IL An insulation company in Rock Island back around 1983/'84 got the contract with the Illinois Toll way Commission to supply all the insulation for the shop buildings at all the maintenance areas on all the toll roads in northern Illinois. Guess who got to deliver all those loads? They were light loads, full 45 ft trailer would only weigh 5000-6000 #, but it was a Fingerprint load, I had to drag the bundles/rolls to the back of the trailer and slide them to one or two guys on the ground. Those guys put them on a carrier on a mobile crane that set them on the roof and 1-2 guys set the bundles on the roof. New roof went over the top. None of those maintenance buildings are on any kind of a map, and I had to be there on time, the crane and crew were all on the clock. Ohhh, By the way, I know exactly where that salt shack is in Mt. CARROL. That was our route from the Quad-Cities to Freeport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some days I feel the exact same way, but I do try to remember I'm working in a family owned 1 yard company. My job allows a flexible schedule for my kids and their sports. I do actually really enjoy running boom trucks! Plus I can get cool farm shots like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
