What if it Snows?

Fixed tandems on hopper bottom, need a spread axle 48’ instead of 43’ tandem

 

Run at night. Employ the EMP. There is no law without electronics.

 

Through the states I am going, I’m good.

 

The forecast for Indiana was freezing tain/ wintry mix north of Terre Haute, which is where I was.

Built up about two inches of ice on the mirror brackets, but the roads were actually okay.

Switch tlrs in Chi, run over to Ham Mound to load.

When they finish loading and open the load bay exit door, it's effen SNOWING!

The fine, wind-blown blizzard snow that piles up fast. Pavement markings disappear, people start driving stupid.

Anyway, by the time I get to exit 17 eb on I-90, it's getting a bit greasy.

I go thru the EZpass lane, little white Toyota goes through the lane next to me, and guns it to get in front of me before the ramp goes down to one lane. His tires break traction briefly, and I think, "Slow down, dumazz! If you spin out on the ramp, you're gonna block me, then the next joker speeding up the ramp is gonna rear end me!"

But hey, off he drives out of sight, I figure I haven't seen the last of him. I think of those wonky I-65 onramps, first to the left, then the right, 35mph advisory speed.

He didn't disappoint.

Negotiated the first one somehow, but he skidded right into the grass at the Dunes Highway/I-65S split.

Still upright, looked like he coulda just drove it back up on the road, unless his r/f dug into the dirt.

I think he was just sitting there trying to get his nuttz back down outta his throat.....

Anyway, enroute down to Greater Atlanta for Wednesday, stopped in Demotte, IN at the TA for a plate of goulash, and a piece of chocolate peanut butter cake, and off to bed once the sugar rush wears off. I already made a delivery today, and I had 30 mins left on the ElectroBeach when I stopped.

 

I am fascinated with truck tires. You can get over 100k with truck tires. Yet my pickup will wear out a set after 20k. Something aint right

 

That is one ugly rim...

 

I like the "vintage" Wal-Mart trailer off to the right in the last pic. Don't see many of those anymore.....
