    My first trip in a truck in 6 months and who do I see? Blair and his shiny black Pete rolling through Mobile. I was actually surprised you could hear that rental truck’s CB.

    A good looking older dark blue FL hood pulling an excavator on a stepdeck was in a bad one today on 81 in Martinsburg WV. He rear ended a dry van and completely took the cab off the frame, cab was pushed way back on the nose of the trailer, making the rig look twice as long as it once was.

    Anybody else hear about this? I couldn't get a pic as I passed by, it was a tight pass on the shoulder after an hour shutdown.
     
    Oxbow, blairandgretchen and Pamela1990 Thank this.

    Blair was spotted today. I’m pretty sure it was him. Had his name on the rear

    The "Tractomas" TR 10 x 10 D100 by the Nicolas Industrie SAS, France, is the world’s largest semi-truck with a total weight of 71 tonnes and was launched in France on 28 October 2005. The truck is 12,620 mm long, 3,480 mm wide and 4,515 mm high.

    Being the smart man he is, Blair would be driving the push truck. Never miss a turn.

    Well - everybody is in trouble now. I have a fresh Mac Book Pro with the video editing software installed fresh from Shanghai to torment everybody with.

    That, and the DJI $1500 drone

    The Rode wireless mics @ $300

    And yet another douchebag trucker on You Tube - once I figure all this tech stuff out.
