Leg's Auto Emporium most anything that you'll need to make a truck!
Funny you should ask since I was going to post a pic of my new toy I got today over at the old forum, but I suppose I'll just bore you with it here instead 
... the long haired dude in that shot taking some final measurements is my production manager Steve... What I do is run an injection molding company that I helped start up back in 1978, literaly out of a garage with a vintage 1942 fellows machine we purchased dirt cheap, pumping out things such as skid plates for skate boards to 8 track tape cases and spools... now we have 9 later model machines in two 5500sf buildings running 24/5 producing things such as, aftermarket parts for harley davidson, frisbees, marine parts, scuba gear, taser guns for the lapd... all sorts of things, chances are the next time you see a license plate frame on a car in front of you, whether it be a dealership name or your favorite nfl team, or betty boop, whatever, we probably made it since we mold about 70% of what's used in this country..
That's what I do, we're small, only about 25 employee's and non-unionized but that's how I want it, less headaches
... in about 5 years I'll become the primary owner and plan to retire at that time, up in toronto, god's country lol...
here's a couple more shots...
the fork lift the riggers brought was almost too light weight for the job since you can see the rear wheels getting a couple inches of air while jockying the machine to the edge of the truck ... once they got the center of gravity back a few inches the fork lift handled the job just fine.

For a number of years I was the head tec for a computer company, but when I was laid off I went back to my first career - driving truck.
At present I drive from Canada to all states east of the the rockies and generally love it.
As time goes on we hope to meet up with some of you for coffee when we pass through your area.
The down side is I'm away from home weeks on end and don't have the time to work on tracks but I see a laptop in my future so that too my change.

Retired from the Air Force 3 yrs ago, however, I'm still employed by the Dept of Defense as a Digital Switch Tech for the United States Strategic Command Center, which is hardened facility (built to survive a nuclear attack...so they say lol) that's located 6 floors underground.
Can't get into specifics about the job, but a major part of it is maintaining a conferencing system that connects the Pentagon & Cheyenne Mountain Complex (NORAD) to every U.S. affiliated military base in the world.

I'm kinda retired (no work permit in the USA).
My career to date: 2 years in the British Army as a trainee surveyor after leaving school. Royal Artillery - so I was basically taking readings at forward observation posts to line up heavy guns. After an accident and 11 months in hospital I was medically discharged (with a fat pension). Then spent 3 years at Plymouth College of Art and Design learning how to be a graphic designer. After leaving college I worked (for 2 years) for a studio producing artwork for educational books. I then worked for a printer specializing in "bespoke" stationery and commercial calendars for 10 years, eventually becoming 1 of 2 calendar designers (the other guy was the boss's son-in-law - go figure
). After that I went on to work for a company called the British Board of Agrément who used to test and certify innovative products for the construction industry. My job was to prepare all the publication materials, I was there for 10 years too, so I guess I've earned my "retirement"
