What if it Snows?

Those tools pay for themselves many times over very quickly if one knows how to use them. Nice to see another well prepared trucker.

 

Well I had a crappy day... I pulled a rookie move... Dropped right side of my tandems in the ditch on a tight corner with soft shoulder. Tipped trailer far enough to lift left drive tires off the ground. Called boss for a tow truck to do a pick and swing... VERY EXPENSIVE.

Enter big articulated loader to the rescue... I asked him to pick up the right rear of trailer until trailer was level and drives back on ground... Then he carried that corner of the trailer as I very slowly creeped forward. After maybe 8 feet he set me down and I was free again. Very minimum damage. Immediately called boss "Cancel that tow truck."

The bad and the good of delivering to construction sites all in 20 mins.

 

Good deal.

 

Evening gents

 

If i learned anything from delivering to jobsites.... What happens at the jobsite stays at the jobsite ! Hahah most of the times those guys will pull ya out of a jam of ya ask nicely...

That shows your experience staying calm in a bad situation like that and thinking of how to get out with minimal damage. Veteran move. Nice work

 

We is empty.
I’ve noticed these long 0500-2300 days aren’t good for some people.
Guess flatbedding when loose leaf log pages teaches bad.
I show 5.25 hours left today, or split for 7.75, but no load yet, therefore no destination.
At least most hopper places, you can stay on site.

 

just a small FYI for those who dont already know, anywhere possible, when stuck offroad, get a push, rather than a pull. FAR safer than a chain snapping.

Had to pull enough stuck end dumps out with my old Scania that was almost unstoppable!

 

Elsa isnt here yet. Weather lickers think she will be here later tonight. Radar at time of this post is putting Elsa ontop of Connecticut.
