    I went to a place today to pick up a skid of barley malt. Some idiot that looked like a scaled down version of the Sta-Puft marshmallow man backed in next to me in a 6-wheeler who was dressed more for a day at the beach. All I could do was shake my had in disgust as this guy eventually waddled through the door.

    Most of the ones I have seen on our trucks have been Carrier. I've seen a TK or two, but mostly Carrier. But, we have inverters, not just the generator and diesel fired bunk heaters for winter instead of just relying on the heat strips.

    Well, I asked them to challenge me, and they aren't disappointing me.

    Here is stop 1's freight going to Mobile(it is both pieces of an excavator a arm)

    Used to load in Anacortes and head back south. Stopped at a small rest stop and got to talk to the PACCAR guy.
    He drives a "standard load" of big concrete blocks on a flatbed up and down I5.
    Meanwhile, the folks at that PACCAR research and development place are remote monitoring the truck's performance.
    Maybe you'll notice it on I-5 sometime.

    The excavator arm isn't that challenging (except having to secure around a lot of hydraulic plumbing) but that clam shell digger (whatever it is) doesn't have a lot of good securement points...but the guy loading is the go-to guy for securing stuff. And compared to hauling glass, it is more challenging than the 1st 2 loads I hauled
