Where is everyone #2!!

Ugly load of tooling to Grand Prairie, tx

 

That was how it was in the logging business. I had one little logging job that you had to cross a small bridge then go up a big hill. One single day I put on and then took off a full set of three rail chains 10 times.

 

Got empty in Oak Ridge, TN and shot over to the Barnhardt yard to load up a mess of crap. Got there at 2:45 and they quit at 3pm and it's a union shop ..... So I'm sitting in Knoxville at the Peelot waiting till morning to load. Hopefully this ice/snow storm isn't too bad. I need to be empty Thursday morning so I can go load an oversize in Savanah in the afternoon.

 

Ya ever notice right at the bottom of every steep grade there's a bridge with a tight curve on to it and a tighter curve off of it? I understand why they do it but it still pisses me off.

The most I've ever chained was 14 times. We had to chain up to fight into location to get loaded then run 45 miles up the pavement then chain up and fight into location to unload. The other tridrive driver and I finally figured out that we would unchain and leave them lay at the highway and then just drive into them and pull them over the top. But we only chained four of the six with triples and had singles for the other axle if we got in a bind. All six chained up was like having tracks it was awesome in a straight line and would go farther than anything other than a cat could come pull you out but there was no hope of ever turning a corner.
