    Not sure that is actually on OH31. I've delivered to the Precision Strip place behind the grain silos there and 31 is definitely wider than that around there. But ya, kind of crazy still.

    Add me to the line.

    I would not believed this either.

    It does reduce my outlook on current drivers a little bit, come on fellas that tiny bit of pavement with stuff everywhere to get stuck on? Are you kidding me?

    Someone is sliding these stupids into training too much and letting them out on the road with licenses.

    I say this they better clear that right quick because icing is happening as I write then working north and east towards Ohio.

    I was at Freightliner in Brampton one night. There wasn't much parking left on their side of the street, so a truck comes along and does a u-turn right on the road pulling a 53 ft dry van. He drove the whole tractor up onto the front lawn of another business to complete the turn and park on the other side to get closer to the door of Freightliner. He could have just parked in front of me, but that would require walking half a block.

    The key to driving through someone's front lawn is to drag your trailer tandems through their front yard and keep the drive tires on the pavement, especially when muddy.

    I took the pictures. I was one of 4 trucks boxed in by these idiots. It certainly is OH31 or locally known as S. Main st. I run exclusively out of the International Paper plant at the corner of 31 and Letson ave.

    Doh ya, that part is narrow. I was looking too close to downtown and down further and forgot about that section through there. Wonder if those trucks were coming from US68 then?
     
    AM14 Thanks this.

    Yea it's that little curbed stretch a few blocks down from the courthouse. I tried putting up the satellite images before for you but my phone was stuck on stupid. Next time your in town pay attention to those side streets. You'll see some of them are only wide enough for one car. What led them to go that way, I haven't the foggiest. Obviously didn't check any sort of map though.
     
    Big Don Thanks this.
