My Dad passed away five years ago, so I will ask here for advice. I trimmed cow hooves for 16 years and now have two guys running that business for me. While trimming I had 6 semis hauling liquid manure seasonally. I switched to OTR trucking 4 1/2 years ago. I am currently at 23 trucks and 30 trailers. I have a three bay shop near my house with a small office. I have an Operations manager, a dispatcher, and a lady who does billing. They pretty much all work out of their home. It works. I own half of the trucks ( all paid for ) and lease the other half. My conditional use permit at my facility allows 7 semis and 7 trailers at the location at any given time. Half of my drivers live out of the area and keep the truck with them. I have trailers dropped at several of our customers. Weekends get crowded at the yard because most of the local drivers are home. At this point I park 3 trailers at another local business. With a bit of excavating, I could park more trailers at this place. A facility came up for sale three miles from our place. It has a four bay shop, three large offices, employee room, shower, parts storage 60 X 100 warehouse, 120,000 fuel storage ( They use to make biodiesel ),large fenced in lot for a bunch of trailer. So, at 45 years of age, do I buy it, or do I find elsewhere to park equipment on the weekends? I can swing it, but just hate the debt The wife says go for it. I would keep my current shop as well.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
