Enjoying the pics. :)
By the sounds you need boot brush attach to truck.;)

Always kinda baffle me,some take time to shovel/blow path to bird feeders but yet never shovel/blow path for delivery drivers such as yourself or meter readers.

I always do my walkways around to my oil tank as he/she has to drag the hose about 100' to reach mine at the back of the house. Curious as to the price of furnace oil down there Scotty, what is it going for? I just got filled up, first time since last April, and it was 70.9 cents per litre ($2.68 US/gal) for 504 litres.

Scott_VT,

Nice pictures!- Sounds like you enjoy your job even in the winter.:D

Do you drive a 6 or 10 wheeler? - Do you put chains on in the winter?

I have a brother that lives in Dorset, VT.- Do you deliver fuel in that area?

I've been to VT a lot of times in the Summer & Fall but never in the winter.- I always enjoy that area.- Me and my brothers do a lot of ATV riding up in that area.- I've rode up Mt. Washington, NH several times and love it!

I read where you had a diesel fuel shower.- I operate Cat-D9 & D10 dozers and I've seen our fuel driver get a diesel shower a few times.- We have another driver that puts on a rain suit before he starts fueling the equipment.:D

Keep the pictures coming.- It would be nice if you could take some pictures the next time you fuel up equipment.

Good Evenin Low Bucket,
Actually I drive both, but my main delivery truck is a 6 wheeler, easier to manuever in tight spaces...

Im in Ct doing this job, Im only a part time Vt guy ! ;)

Dorset is only about 20 mins south of my Vt place...

Im tryin to stay away from any more diesel showers ! :)

Here are a couple from today, and when I see a nice barn I usually snap that too ;)

I always thought if I ever get driving job I would make my dog the driver's helper. What's the company policy on that? Enjoying the pictures, as always.

Hey scotty,
Just make sure you always hear that whistle, My oil guy, Paul who's also a friend, he took over his small, 3 truck family's company about 25 years ago. He's a good guy real old school, does all the service work himself.

Anyway he told me about a driver for another company that went to make a delivery and started filling the "tank" only problem was, there was no tank :eek: they had converted to gas and never removed the filler. Don't know if this was first hand storey or just urban legend designed to put the fear of God into the drivers.
He said it's a law the fillers have to be removed, don't now how much he dumped in there but man it must of been a mess. Guess he realized there was no whistle, must be something wrong!

Price is decent this winter, I've got three 275's (the guy I bought the house from horded everything) I try and market time the price, buy in the summer etc. well that strategy hasn't panned out to well for the last few years :(
Good thing I'm not an investment banker, though their performance hasn't been much better I guess :)

JB.
