Here’s another TimberKing 6000 sawmill loaded and ready for a roadtrip to PA mountains.
Some will take the time like I do to strap down and secure their loads, but unfortunately, most won’t. The same ones that say this load is over strapped and secured, but honestly, there is no such thing as over secured.
Is it worth losing part or all of your load because of negligence? Is it worth being in the side of a hiway trying to add extra straps because your load is shifting? Is it worth losing part of your load and causing an accident due to your lack of attention to detail?
Lack of detail? Yeah, that’s when you are to lazy, or maybe just don’t give a crap about being over cautious! It doesn’t take that long to add extra straps and make sure your loads will NOT shift or move. And I’m not talking about little 1” straps, I’m talking about good 2” ratchet straps that you can really crank down tight…and they won’t break. All of the straps you see on this load are 10,000# and above rated!
The TimberKing 6000 on this trailer, pictured above are secured properly and will not move on this upcoming roadtrip. This load is done with care, it’s done with some additional time and attention to detail, and it’s done with pride.
What Is Different About This Load and Others?
The biggest difference between this load and most others is the fact that I care, and others don’t. I always go above and beyond what’s expected, while most others do the very minimum to get by. I treat other people things as good as I do my own, and often times better.
What Does The Minimum Mean?
So many people in our world will never do more than they have to for a paycheck. Doing the very minimum, the least amount of work they can do to get paid, or to just “slide” by. To me, this is a lazy mentality, a barely get by mentality, a “oh they will never know” mentality. And not to offend anyone, but this minimum mentality, is really a losers mentality!
Doing More Than Is Expected!
How about going above and beyond others. How about doing more than is expected. How about not complaining about everyone else and start seeing the good in others. Jealousy always destroys, and never gets you ahead. Being a good example in every area of your life is what gets you ahead. Being a giver and not the taker is what gets you ahead.
Someone is always going to judge you, so get over it and just make sure you are setting good examples in everything you do, and everywhere you go. Take pride in what you do, never complain, don’t judge others until you first look in the mirror and judge yourself. None of us are perfect!
Littering Up The Roadways?
I see people up and down the hiways and roads everywhere running 10, 15 to 20+ mph over the posted speed limits all the time, hauling stuff half strapped or not strapped at all and driving out of control. These same knuckleheads are losing their crap along the roads and just keep on driving. Some don’t even realize they lost their stuff because most are too busy on the phones when they should be focused on driving and being responsible, but they don’t. Open your eyes when driving around and take note of all the furniture, mattresses and other crap along our roadways. Responsible people know when they loose something and go back to pick it up. Losers just keep driving. After all, if you obey the laws, leaving stuff along the roadways is littering, and it’s illegal! Like anyone cares though, right?
It’s time to take responsibility and be an example setter. Instead of doing what others are doing, do what’s right. Just like speeding, I think 3-5mph over the speed limit is more than plenty. But 10, 15, or 20+ mph over the speed limit, no, that’s not being responsible, nor is it legal. More importantly, there is not one ounce of integrity in those that are doing it!! We shouldn’t have to be told, or made to obey the speed limits. People of integrity always do what’s right and what’s expected of them.
Always do your best,
