Is This Trucker Nuts?

Fed Ex super truckers ain't got nothing on this guy. Balls of steel.

Either that, or he was gonna miss a L/P payment on that Pete.lmao

 

My father in law drove truck in the early 90's for a short time, he once told me the guys driving Peterbilts were maniacs. I guess this proves that theory

 

Given recent history and based on what I've seen over the past couple of years, Pete drivers usually are the first ones to try to get in the hammer lane but they're also the first ones to wreck.

 

The air intake for the engine is either on the side cans, side intakes at the hood behind the steers or under the very top of the hood at the windshield. Some trucks have the engine intake at the top of the radiator or to a side of.

You can ford deep water with a semi safely with the fuel tanks submerged if necessary. (I use a bar of soap inside the cap threads to make a temp seal prior to entering known bad weather that generates several feet of high water) I recall storms north of say wichita falls Texas or similar along US 287 which collect run off until the north south street intersections across 287 west/east was flowing several feet of water.

I consider this trucker a hero, not a nut. Those pipes wont get hurt none. And they get delivered. Everyone's happy.

 

Everyone is happy....unless you're the owner of the windows he blew out on the storefront. But I'm sure those windows were the least of their worries at that point

 

I'll bet you the eye clinic owner(or their insurance company)will be looking for that driver to cover the costs of damages caused by his truck blowing out the windows.

 

Im tempted to say the windows might be already a loss once a certain amount of water hit them. If it was not that truck going by specifically it would be someone else going by.

A note... FEMA issues flood insurance for water damage. We paid about 300 a month for years until we learned that our land and home at it's elevation never flooded dating back to when our county was formed in the early 1800's So we discarded the insurance expense.

Many do not buy FEMA flood insurance. So they will suffer. For those whose lands are marked A B or C for flood ratings against them, the premiums get expensive in a shocking hurry. Whatever you do in future, always seek good ground that does not flood. Wet yes but flood no. Then dig a approx 20 foot deep, 5 foot wide, 100 to 200 foot long stone loaded french drain along your property where the water flows most, usually along a driveway. Put down several dump loads of 2 inch or one inch stone down into that dug out trench, then cover with 3 feet of earth. That will be your best defense against a truly flooding rain that does happen now and then.

I hope you give these drains a try. We have three of them back then and they did well.

 

This trucker's nuts

 

X1 uses bars of soap to seal his tanks when he drives truck through deep water. Is there any situation in a truck X1 has not been through? I think not.

Please tell us more of your tales @x1Heavy.

No matter how tall they are i'll believe them all.
