Where is everyone #5

Except with a sweet tea

 

I'm a Pepsi fan really. Less it's really good tea.

 

Uncle worked there before they had invented the harpoon. Had to jump in the ocean and wrestle the whale into the boat by hand. Hand to flipper combat at it's finest. That's how he developed his famous shoe removal techniques.

 

Went there about 46 year's ago. You're right, that's a interesting place that's well worth going to.

Unless Uncle is hanging out, telling his old whaling stories..

 

I'll had a few more tips n tricks

What i mean by closing the pressure control valve. If you have it half or even less your pushing a ton of air instead of more ceeement. By backing off on it allows the Aerator's to do their job a fluff up the cement. This is the reason top air don't work with cement like frac sand. Sand will fall down on its own well most of the time. But the cement needs to fluff up before it will go.

I keep the jet line cracked maybe not even 15% open.

You'll eventually, well if you have a good trailer be able to crack the middle pod half way open while you have another pod fully opened. Give some more line pressure maybe 75% open. Then start backing it down super slow

You very slowly start crack open the 2nd pod. Super slow or it will plug. If it does close both hoppers and keep open/closing the jet line and it should clear it.

Fastest I've done 45k was with a short 10 foot hose right into the silo. They pop off didnt go off til almost 18 on this trailer. 23min.

 

we moved many 75' to 85' loads of pipe throughout western Canada and the NW USA on 45' trailers using 250" Freightliner COEs with 7' to 8' over the front and the balance out the back in the 70's and 80's. They where only 35000# max weight because at the time we where only allowed 32000# on a tandem axle at that time. Anytime we were 95' overall length we required a trailing pilot car. We only needed a 9"rotating amber light and flag the 4 corners with large (18" square) red flags for daylight travel and rear red lights for night travel. There was no travel at night if a pilot was needed.
Chances are depending on the state/local laws he would be charged with any or all:
no pilot car
no flags
no signs
invalid or no permit
insufficient load securement.
although if he had a valid permit and only required a police escort in the city he may have been within the laws of the state/city.

 

I just love whiskey. Scotch, Irish, Canadian rye, American bourbon, #### it's all good. Been on a big bourbon kick lately though.

 

Unsweet ?
How you s'posed to catch the diabeatis like that ?

 

Thank goodness somebody around here makes sense.

 

What I find hilarious is that I knew nothing about most of what pneumatics could do until a few months ago and I did a bunch more reading online. Mostly because the trailers my company has are as old as me for the most part, and don't have working aerators (I think there are two trailers with all working aerators).

We've been picking up a load of casting sand out of Waterloo, IA since last summer now, and it's essentially fine like cement or fly ash, it unloads great with no top air, full aerators and low line air... but the company doesn't have the proper equipment to haul the load and they don't even care.

We actually lost a big motor/generator load out of OH a few weeks ago because the driver went in with rusty 5/16" chains and snap binders. Shipper took one look at his chains and said "hahaha, no". But instead of investing in the proper equipment to haul the expensive load, they just gave up on it and got a garbage load into southern Ontario to pick up yet more steel tube.
