An old man's career goes flat, Snackbar moves to open deck

Isn't that the reason the general freight trucks had the open chain racks? And they expected the wing trucks to be able to haul the wing loads with even shorter trucks than what they had before? Wow, what a company we work for...

 

At least they aren't red 579's....yet

 

Made it to Rancho yesterday and they were decking trailers for an equipment transfer to Arlington. (2 of the newer aluminum trailers on one of the old steel frame trailer). Then watched them play a life sized game of slide tile getting some of the rarely used trailers tucked away in the corner and the rest of the trailers moved around so there is a little more room in this postage stamp of a yard. It was said that there are some conestogas getting moved down here so they can pick up the blanket insulation loads going from Calexico to WA...I am guessing that is why I was put on a load down to here with this special conestoga... My MacGyver'd water proofing with the pipe insulation is still holding, I'm guessing. Since I put it in I have only had 1 day where it was needed. Since then, it has been the stereotypical southern Cali weather, sunny and warm. I think it was in the mid-70's yesterday and is supposed to be a touch warmer today and no rain is forecasted for the next 3 or 4, so getting this raw aluminum off my trailer is gonna be easier.
