Out in Nevada when I was pulling for a construction company doing asphalt recycling I was loading the tankers I was pulling and the grinder came past . No big deal, I would just have to jump the windrow that it leaves after it goes throw the crushe and pugmill.
The paving crew I thought would stop and let me out, but no way, they repaved right on past, and I couldn't drive across the new pavement, so went down the shoulder between the pavement and ditch. It was a tight squeeze betwen the crusher and the ditch when I was trying to pass the equipment and the dirt sluffed off on he ditch side, I turned down hill and mashed on it and could hear the super yelling to get in the ditch, I looked in the mirror and one of the tankers wheels on that side were 5 or 6 feet off the ground.
I had to bust out laughing though, the super had his feet in the wheel and was holding on to the top of the tire for dear life, like he was going to keep a loaded tanker from rolling over. lol
That's some trick driving right there!

Thanks for yet another reason to abuse my company's fuel policies in order to avoid taking I-10 to Phoenix. I don't care if they wanna give me my new truck or not.
