    I'm not sure I understand what the goal is. Are you after making a Hill Billy pressure washer that will take that layer of mud off before it turns to concrete? Or to gently drizzle some rain over dust to make things sparkle again?

    I'm probably missing something here... but if you're after getting rid of the mud, water storage would be the least of your problems. The bigger problem is your air. When you consider that the wimpy pressure washers, that don't accomplish much, are 1500 psi... 3 to 4,000 psi is a good washer. You have 125 or 130 psi to work with. What are your thoughts on being able to increase your pressure?

    I prolly missed something in my skimming...?

    These games make a lot more sense when talking about turnpike scales. We don't have turnpikes or toll roads here.

    Just brainstorming while driving. I do it a lot, but have no fab skills, so asked it here. Probably not a feasible idea (since it likely would have been done already, lol), but that's why I like this group, you never know what someone could come up with.


    Yeah, just throwing it out there. Was thinking of possibly having something that could easily be stored in the truck in the jockey box, which even a small pressure washer would be a trick to get in there, haha.

    Sounds like I could know him. The fun and money is mostly gone. Still happens some and alot that do it are doing it cheap. His statement is 100% true. Just hard for people outside of the rust belt, steel country to understand exactly what used to go on here. I get that. I find the different aspects of trucking across the country fascinating.

    Oxbow is in a league of his own and the trucking is a small part

    Ruthless running around in that area is beyond my imagination.

    SAR, Rank add a great Canada prospective.

    Jd, Ron, humble, triple, superhauler have have shown alot of us the heavy haul world

    Wore, well cowmobiling, and Kitty cats and onion chunking.

    Stwik adds a great employee prospective in a good way.

    Bob and the car hauling

    Shogun, well the comic relief and that even some cops dont like cops.

    Sawmill is always fixing something and then there is the chemical job.

    Shooter and that oil field sand, is something that is way different to me.
    I'll more than likely never do it, but I have picked his brain for info.

    Oldskooler with his trov of combustion engines and museum information. I will drive down on a weekend just for a tour someday.

    Exhausted for a clean cut no bullspit perspective

    Not trying to forget anyone just it's getting long.

    The Moose is the Moose. But Chuck has some great knowledge. Not really sure on a headless moose, mecesses trucking background.

    To everyone else, the comical value to you guys is down right first class and thank you for teaching me about your aspects of trucking. I'll keep picking away at meeting you guys, one by one.

    Doug did you ever use the old service tunnel under MM100 service plaza on the Ohio pike. It's no longer there. Guys would meet and trade tickets. Then get off one exit past the get on point. Before computers and cameras.

    Look @Josey Wales

    You’re new here, and really didn’t introduce yourself. All I know about you is that you’re from Missouri, and that they say you killed your own kind and they’re gonna heel and hide you to a barn door.

    You’re entitled to your opinions, maybe just try a more subtle approach. There’s a lot of personalities on here, from socialist equipment haulers to cow mobiles. Stick around and enjoy the thread. Relax

    So, I went half homo the other day with the auto Volvo - I’m still exploring the deal - thought I’d try this out.

    Will you guys still talk to me now I’m identifying as a door slammer?
