it is raining now and supposed to snow.

nah.not really screwed in that sense.i will call my mother but sometimes she doesn't know my name due to that darn alzheimer's. no need to feel sorry for me as i get by 95% of the other trucks rather easily,and those that can roll,do so behind the very best front door.

yes ma'am i find the interstate easily enough and use it often.i don't need technology to do that as i have been out here so long,my truck knows its own way practically.those you mentioned passing me are doing so as i go by them and generally,they are on my left since they are impeding the middle lane,highly constrained by your beloved technology. so you recommend that i enter the same technology phase that you too are constrained by and stringently adhere to through your personal choice?

no thank you ma'am.I do appreciate your concern whether genuine or not.

i was really looking for some real advice which may help all drivers out here,especially those relegated to and held back by all that technology you reference, and are unable to make their own decisions due to their dm's,qualcoms, and elogs managing their time for them.

the south has been taken prisoner by mother nature and many drivers,both seasoned and not,may actually need a little direction. I know that i do on a freakwent basis as w/o gps and all,i rely on the cb and the cell phone for directions in and out of new destinations. i am adamant during this freak winter especially and ask for direction quite often. anywhere i am going,another driver has already been and will happily direct me off the top of his head and out of the kindness of his or her heart and i do the same when asked. no gps required-

ha!

 

i see you are pulling a chip wagon or a walking floor so you know of what you type.i pull an end dump and yes sir,gassing on it does indeed get you out of what you were put in especially when loaded or unloading off the beaten path where no concrete or asphalt is available. sometimes it reminds me of rides at the fair.those never off the road and in the rutted mud in a big truck just have no idea.

my next will be double framed and maybe hendrickson equipped.

 

excellent advice wannabe.i will have to remember that.thanks! i ski at snowshoe yearly and am planning a trip now.they have gotten the snow this year.wv219 has some grades on it.appreciate the input.

 

excellent advice but what about vegetarians? no beanie wienies for them! i seem to always be in a headwind. ever have that feeling?
