    Atleast all went well for you and you got the load there safe and sound. Was that the most interesting place you have had to deliver to?

    You're telling me, one of my first runs by myself when I was with Conway I had to run OK 82 north from Talequah to I44.

    Now granted it isn't Deals Gap (US129 NC/Tn) but for your first run, it scared the hell out of me lol, I almost swore off back roads after that one. Just a month ago I ran it again on a Sunday and some geniuses out there on crotch rockets managed to cream themselves off one of the curves and there were cops and wreckers everywhere almost making me moisten myself aside from the fact I halfway expected it because the weather was so nice.

    cin, it's one of the best I can think of. If I had pictures of this water purification plant in Panama City I would post em. I had to take a load of water pipe down there and had to go through 2 trailer parks to get to it (it was behind them). Now making turns in a tailer park with a 48 ft spread axle and a KW that has the turning radius of an M1 tank was definitely fun but it was raining so I didn't break out my camera.

    Made for a interesting day I bet. I have to agree here in Oklahoma we don't have the best backroads for the most part. I'm waiting for two truckers to have a major accident on the bridge by my house. A few have lost their side mirrors

    Nice man!!!

    We have a huge mine in the area I run for the oil fields in and some of the heavy equipment they have out there blows my mind. It's unreal.

    Looks like fun! Nice work.

    We had a run up to Hedley, BC, hauling sodium cyanide to the mine there. There is a ski resort halfway up the hill. The road was single lane gravel in most places with grades up to 14.5%. We were usually dragging 105,500.

    I haven't seen one that bad before. I was making a drop of steel coils for Sealy (the mattress people) in Pa back in May and when I got off the interstate, Sealy was in a small industrial park to the left and to the right there was a sign that said "no trucks, sharp curves and grades up to 12% next 7 miles".

    I peaked over it and holy crap lol, I wasn't to interested in taking that thing for any amount of money unless I was in my WRX or my bike.
