Where is everyone #5

My previous truck, the up swing could cut your finger off, lol.

 

Smart is a psychological measure of a person’s “intelligence quotient”, and in the trucking business that measure of "intelligence quotient" often doesn't translate into anything even remotely close to "logical". I'd much rather work with "logical" rather than "smart", especially when it comes to these kind of moves. The engineers have computers that say it's going to go "this way" when in reality there's no logical or practical way to make it go that way. But, they have a higher "intelligence quotient" than us drivers so we have to do it their way to prove it can't be done.

Wanna really piss one off, grab your Big Chief Tablet and Crayons to try and tell them why something won't work.................

 

Yeah, at least that much here in Minot. More further east. Was falling really heavy around Boissevain, MB and Dunseith.

 

36" coffin sleeper, non-Unibilt. He'd give up on truckin'.

 

No prepass and got the exit signal. This was a "smart" coop. It would have known if I had passed it.

Also to note that they are pulling trucks in left and right tonight so likely would have been red lit anyway.

Current situation

 

Na my Dad was 6'7" and not a small fella. Dont get me wrong he thought the 63 inch flat top walk in was way better than a crawl through coffin. He rode with me to pick up the brand new truck I bought, 63 inch unibilt flat top. He drove it off the lot, seat down seat slide all the way back and the wheel tilted a little. Before we got to the big road he looked at me said it's a good thing I'm retired or you would have to order you another ride. This mo fo is like drivin a long car with a chauffeur at the wheel lmao.

Edit to add up to that point in his life his 82 359 was the nicest thing he had drove truck wise. His first with power steering and steer axle brakes. No tilt, small cab with no where to go. To hear him say I owned the finest truck on the road is the peak moment in the truckin business for me

 

Yes definitely not worth taking a chance over.

 

Gramps at 6'4" said you just wrap your legs around the steering wheel 3 or 4 times and then get comfortable In a Cracker box Jimmy day cab. or day cab LJ Mack. A lot of them old boys worked hard and didn't even have sleepers.

 

I ain't telling ya you business but if you gonna pull a welfare wagon you gots to quit that and dodge em. Might as well start practicin now. Lmao



Only cause you seem like a good kid I'm do you a favor. Just go in there and look the shorter dark haired one in the eye and look officer fark nuts I happen to be a travelin man. Cooter said if you don't let me outta here this minute there is gonna be a ### whoopin later.

That travelin man part is important that's the little code we got worked out. Trust me now it be just fine

 

Absolutely they did. I realize you can't miss the comfort you never had but they sure didn't let it hold up from putting food on the table
