Redbirdman 7 #7 Posted March 26, 2011 cool............good move. Trucks and Tractors........Love them both! But trucks have a way of beating you to death. Or at least beating your brains out! ( I am a fine example) Now, not to say I suggest you do anything silly while working at New Holland...But I would get a HUGE lunch box! hehehe Ed :wh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horse'n Around 22 #8 Posted March 26, 2011 Way to go Chaz, I used to go thru Scotland on Rt 11 a lot when I lived in Chambersburg. If we had found a Walmart to transfer to in Franklin County, Scotland is one of the places I wanted to live. John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theoldwizard1 2 #12 Posted March 26, 2011 I'm semi-retired now, but one of the best decisions I ever made (20/20 hind sight) was to buy a house less than 30 minutes from work ! Besides cutting down on the daily drive time, it made those midnight emergency calls more bearable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

n1defan 47 #16 Posted May 21, 2011 :hide: Ben there done that. I used to drive about two and a half hours every day and then go to school after work for about three years. It really sucked, know I work 15 minutes from home what a change that was. Good luck with that new job. :WRS: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hounddoghundzsa 7 #19 Posted May 24, 2011 I've been doing the hour drive for almost eight years - the gas budget has taken over my Wheelhorse budget - I too have been looking for something closer to home. Congrats! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
