Oh there she is.
I have certain limitations in what I would like to see in a truck.mjd4277 Thanks this. -
This company truck I have says 70 gallon capacity on both tanks, but I can't seem to fit more than 100 gallons in there whenever I fill up.
Nowadays I have to fuel every day, sometimes twice a day. Two days ago I went to Colorado Springs from Kansas and went the direct route on US 40 and CO 94. That's 400 miles with no fuel stops that will take EFS. I fueled at the Love's in Ellis, but I should have topped it off at the TA in Oakley. I ended up paying $30 cash for 10 gallons in Cheyenne Wells just to make sure I could get back to Oakley. I would've made it with 10 gallons to spare, but who wants to drive the last 30 miles with the #### amber light glaring on the fuel gauge?
The nice lady in Cheyenne Wells said that a lot of drivers tell her that they have smaller tanks than they used to. Maybe the trucking companies don't want us to get too far if there's "social unrest" or something.cjb logistics, x1Heavy and mjd4277 Thank this. -
Ahhh.Damage,Inertia,Crunch,Stress Reducer,
You knowq what I'd love to see? I'd pay big mnoney too.
Get about 30% Of all Tractor Trailer Combos to a huge 300 ft Cliff somewhere- And at the Bottom off he Cliff is a giant Lake of Acid that eats everything...
Ghost Ride Trucks Off the Cliff and watch them Crumble down the Cliff and Splash into the Acid Pool.....
Why you ask?? Tired of all these Trucks Littering the Roads- Filling up truckstops and Just "Being in the way all the time" Love Trucking- But its beginning tio be a true eyesore- Trucks on the Shoulder EVERYWHERE at Night- Accidents etc.
Plus it gives our Moron Government Time to Resurface the most wore out infrastructure everx1Heavy Thanks this. -
All those dot dot dot skid marks means he was on his brakes hard enough to activate the ABS system.
-
That means absolute flat on the floor with the service brakes and dump all the air inside the Primary and Secondary.
Which probably shows that the driver more likely than not panicked.Bud A. and otterinthewater Thank this. -
Poor guy. I'm paranoid about curves anyway after finding some that SHOULD have been marked as a slower speed but weren't.
You can take a curve slow as many times as you want. Too fast probably just once.Bud A. Thanks this. -
I drove past the spot today eastbound. They've already replaced all the guardrail.
mjd4277 Thanks this. -
WV dept of roads impresses me. They respond pretty quickly to address issues. On this same stretch they were patching potholes in really cold weather. Hop over into PA and Penndot is sleeping.....all of them lol.
