Hey has anyone heard from Evertrucker? I know he looks in at times....how is the new job working out....and do ya miss the open road and the fast times at Crete?

 

Poly-Trucking, poly-trucking.com

 

I finished up my week with slightly over 2500 miles. Im home now and will come back out on Tues.

 

Evertruckerr's got diesel flowing through his veins. If he comes back here it may push him over the edge and back into a crete truck.

 

Not yet. Not going to push them for one either... I have found that when I get impatient,(more than usual) I usually don't like the outcome. Like when I politely beep them about 'should I sit tight or head to truckstop' I will generally get a crapo load. So that being said, I don't want a crapo asset manager that doesn't know his/her head from a shinola hole in the ground.

 

I70 from just before Effingham most the way to the IN line musta got slammed with that ice/snow storm that moved east. There was what was left of an R & L double wagon just west of the I70/I57 construction zone. 1 trailer was upside down w/o any wheels west of an overpass, the dolly was mangled in front of it, the other trailer(or what was left of it) was sorta a pile of rubble just before the overpass. I guess the driver lived, but a passenger in a car that was in between the R/L and an SUV that spun and hit the guardrail, was killed. East of that, I70 looked like a junkyard. At the Pilot exit, thers was a Stevens thru the left guardrail, and an England went down that steep 100' bank that the Pilot's exit loops around...still upright, but I bet the driver is still in surgery getting the seat removed from his butt. Another truck musta jack-kniffed in front of a Swift O/O, because his truck and the front part of his trailer up to the landing gear were on one side of the road, the Swift, windshield deep in the side of his upside down remanants of his trailer and freight in a big pile, were in the median. And that was just a part of the ice follies... There were more than a dozen (trucks mostly) that were still there(most of the cars were probably already towed, but lots of empty skid marks and muddy holes in the ground where they were parked). There was even 1 truck completely on it's roof...all 18 facing skyward. The only fatality I heard of was the one involving the R/L.

 

Glad I've been off for two weeks....be careful out there SSB!

 

wannabe supertruckers.they shoulda parked them.or slowed way the hell down.all that damage wasn't done at 25-30 mph.the guys in the fatals ,their careers are probably done if it comes out they are at fault.but more importantly,people are dead.i don't know about anyone else,but if i was the cause,i would have a hard time living with it.this is just my opinion,i could be wrong.

 

For you noobs that monitor this thread. Always remember this saying when driving in the winter. "When it snows, take it slow. When its ice, no dice!". SSB's post above is a reminder for us all to get off the road in ice. You cannot safely run on ice.
