I was a 2nd year apprentice with Jimco electric in 2002 & we worked at the Weyerhaeuser mill in Longview. Stopped at porky's every friday for buffalo burgers, beers & pool. Great times & good grub in Longview.

Yes it is, I'm just across the river from there and take pulp loads in right next door to Porky's.

I am a diesel mechanic at a fleet. We work on straight trucks/semi tractors/reefer trailers. I forgot to add that before...I was to much in ahhh with all that big wood!

What kind of reefers? I deal mainly with international/Cummins and thermo kings. Parts support here sucks for T/K.

We have all Thermo Kings from like 1999 and up. 161 or so in our pizza fleet and then Nestle's big fleet has hundreds which we also work on if they need it. All of our private fleet trucks are Volvo's with Volvo motors. And they all have apu's on them(auxillary power unit) and they have espar heaters also.
