    A man came to the Black Hills of SD with his daughter. Told everyone he was going to name his mine after his wife. Everyone was surprised when the name of the mine was: Holy Terror

    This jostler had picked up this load on the other side of town. Brought it back to main mill/terminal. Decided he would take a shortcut to park the trailer. Tried taking a pneumatic tanker over railroad tracks. He ripped the blower off the truck. Happened 10pm. They still hadn’t gotten the truck and trailer separated at 3am. I had come in then to get out of town early. It was my trailer. Doh!

    Is that going wb? Cause I remember the eb scale is east of Newton, IIRC. I went thru on a nasty winter night, Newton was a fustercluck. When I pulled into the scale there were 6 trucks there. When I woke up - maybe a dozen. I swear truckers are superstitious.

    No, I haven't. I started in August, and I can count on one hand the number of times I've went to a mega stop.

    Most jacked up parking I'd ever seen. Midget cars would have issues parking there.

    I agree. Most mom n pops have decent parking. Down the road from that J is the Mr Gas Roady's. Dang that's a nice lot! And I doubt it's ever filled. That stupid J certainly is tho.
