I install walk doors, automatic doors, storefronts, windows, and I'm a locksmith. Examply of what I work on, when you go to WalMart, the front doors that open automatically, those are what I deal with. I go to to several hospitals, old folks homes, stores, schools, all kinds of places. I especially like going to colleges for obvious reasons .

My ride. A '95 Ford E150 Ecoline Van. It's a POS, but it's bagged! Read helper bags with on board compressor and tank and ONE switch (up/down).

As a matter of fact I do. I drive a flat bed F350 around Atlanta picking up parts for heavy equipment. I also am a heavy equipment operator. If its got wheels or tracks I can probably run it. I'm even a certified trainer on a few things like: heavy trucks, wheel loaders, small cranes and a few others.

What i do every day is operate heavy equipment as well as being an unrestricted 1A driver.
I don't long haul i just have my license to haul equipment within the city. I operate
Loaders, Graders, Wheeled excavators, tracked excavators, bobcats, snow cats ect

What are those slick tired loaders used for? solid tires for a steal/scrap yard?

I know they run slicks on graders for asphalt if they aren't using a spreader to distribute it

Heavy equipment is fun!

We use these two loaders in a crushed stone operation. The slicks have alittle more rubber to wear off and will take the cuts from the rocks a little longer. The quarry I'm in only makes gravel for stuff like roads and eroision

Oh and they're air filled not solids, solid tires will beat you to death in a rock hole
