You should just put the trailer behind an RV and just live at the work site then, lol.
I was joking about the jet. Someone ask what is your week ride on one of the Facebook groups. Everyone was posting cars and trucks so I said fuk it I’ll post a airplane

Is there any situation where they would have to actually shut down?
If the price of steel was to drop so low that we financially couldn’t make steel and keep the lights on or just no orders whatsoever to keep us above 80percent production rate.
when COVID hit they took a gamble and kept everything running full steam andluck had it worked out great because we stock piled plates, coils and even coke so when everything ramped back up few month later we were one of the few that had steel ready to ship and at full production

I’ve heard a few other plants slowly come on line since they shut down early last year but they are still not up to full capacity

Planning ahead was key to staying open. Good they did that.

As I was driving home from the taco/UPS store run a Challenger pulled up next to me at a light and I looked down and saw the "6.4L" badge on the fender and thought "Now THAT'S an appropriate application of that motor."

Appropriate yes. I think the only things Dodge hasn't stuffed the 392 and the Hellcat into is the Journey and the Grand Caravan... and they'll find a way to make it work someday, lol!

Soon it will be all mine! :devil: Oh and I guess the warehouse manager will be using it too...

But it will be nice to step up from a 4.6 F-150 to a 6.2 F-250.

Now THAT's an a appropriate application of a V8 motor with a metric displacement starting with a six!

Its definitely a hard working truck. Its a "hand me down" as Mike says but a good improvement over the outgoing F-150. That one is getting traded for a new Ram Chassis going to the foreman that currently drives that 250.
