    Very nice.... those are the kind of runs that I love. It gets boring just holding a steering wheel all day.

    I would have PAID for boring last week mate.
    Omaha to Batavia,NY.
    Ne, fine.
    Ia, route me through some 14'2" construction on 80. Go @20mph and you can get through it with no touchy touchy. No biggie.
    Il, easy enough, besides that 13' wide construction in Peoria. Cones lost, again.
    In, every back road in the state, then come back to US24 and have to wait for construction crew to move cones and trucks for me to fit through.
    Oh, back roads, no problem, then onto US6 around Cleveland. Hilly? Ridiculous. Then sneak into a truckstop and park it for the night. Get up the next morning, get on I90, and there is a 12' wide construction zone! Pilot car said I got EVERY cone on @4 mile stretch of highway.
    Get into Pa, and in their wisdom, they route me into Eirie on 26th street/US20. Every tree limb, power line, phone line, rubs the top of the machine. Then a bridge with no posted height to go under, so shut it down and dump all air etc.
    Get back on I90 and away we go.
    NY then routes me through every BFE town out there, but luckily had a very good NY pilot car for that.
    I was happy to pay the tolls and stay on 90/80 to get back to Illinois after all that!

    You need to fab-up a custom extendable "cow catcher" for the front of your truck. You could have set it at 14.5 wide and just pushed them all out of the way LOL

    Hmmm, dont get me thinking about that, especially as I got the new welder last year that came with an aluminum spool gun!

    But they pay Ron! I dont care what is on the trailer mate, money is money to me. They have not been bad so far, the routing is retarded at times, but it's the same with blades too. Bank balance certainly likes them!
