The Voice Of GO(r)D Podcast is happy to bring you, after a very long delay between recording and release, a discussion with one of my more interesting colleagues on the idea of truckers forming a…
Gord MagillHostYeah, stretch, you know, user dexterity.
I mean, it's not that hard.
And, you know, that truck was even better because it was one of the old setback axle.
So it actually did have steps that went up.
I didn't have to step around anything.
But they got rid of it.
some company bought it, they cut the frame in half, double framed it.
And then a generator sat on the back of the truck and they would just drive it to construction sites.
So I had no miles.
And so I bought that in 2013 or 14 and, uh, put it on the road.
I think it paid for itself in about a month.
Fantastic.
Yeah.
And then, uh, That's when all that happened.
I had a bicycle on the truck before that.
You have a bicycle on your truck now.
Yeah, I still do.
But I think it was around 2015...
Some guy drove past me and he had a dirt bike on the back.
And I thought, that guy has it figured out.
And that's when I became a paid vacation kind of person.
I fabricated a crane and a platform and I would just pick up the phone and say, I want to go to a motorcycle race in Pittsburgh.
and drop the bike, go to the track, get to an adventure.
I just kept doing this over and over and over.
And I did that for about nine years until I blew the main seal and the injector seals on the engine.
