    Yuck? It's only -8F and looks like it might be a pretty decent day. Even if something like 4 inches of fluffy snow fell last night.

    Where are you at? Grassland?

    Edit. Never mind. I thought you were at the Hook in Grassland. But they have a real restaurant, not a Subway.

    Because you were there already. I got my cherry popped in a 84 Fl cabover, no power steering, 350 formula, on spring ride. Freightliner wide spring rode ok. Narrow spring sucked. 40 foot air spring air 3-9's City. Not even close to legal age.

    It looks like he's at the hook in Minot. I really need to catch up with him one of these days.

    Ok I have a bitccccch. A few hundred trucks a day dump here. I dump 3 to 5 loads in a day. I can sweep around pit everytime. One because they give us a great dump site, 2 what else will I do, free exercise since it seems I am the only fricken guy that can get corn in the dump. Guys you can dump both hoppers and not put corn everywhere. Ok rant over. 20190206_092750.jpg

    And puts a roller through an indestructible fender ....

    @stwik when you go in and out of driveways and such - make sure to look for crowning in the road.

    If it is heavily crowned, you want to cross at an angle rather than perpendicular ( you don’t want the tractor going downhill at the same time the trailer is going uphill)

    @catalinaflyer we were chatting a few days back how guys don't move over. I like two lane driving. This is a county highway on most day you pass grain trucks all day long. But then here comes the Mega fleet truck because his GPS says its shorter, or the young farm kid hugging the center. You can see them for miles, but you can't assume they see you. Add snow and ice it can be a narrow . But its no sure thing. It crosses about 5 State Routes and the man in the van knows this. This is the one if I get a mega fleet eld truck I slow to 35mph and talk the whole time on Cb. Snowman knows this road. 20190206_095834.jpg 20190206_095639.jpg 20190206_095354.jpg
