I worked 25+ years in mechanical engineering, I got tired of the cooped up office live...for sure! Now I build highway projects here in Minnesota's Twin cities. Currently on the 610 and Devil's triangle project. I operate a tractor trailer combo, sidedump or belly dump trailer depending on the needs of the project. The tractor is a small freightliner day cab with a C15 twin turbo cat motor turned up to 700hp with full locker rear ends.....it's light and goes like stink....it would be the SS of trucks. Also I oversee the other trucks on the job and I am in comunication with the contractor's requests as the job changes during the day. Its alot of fun working with the guys and cool to know when you drive over it when completed you had your hand in it. We are a small group so we have fun while building it makes the days go by. Also I have 3 month's in the winter when I do not work, No getting up to fight the cold, snow storms or dumb 4 wheelers in traffic. Love it.
