    And not a P&S or Western Express either, they would have tarped the house before they strapped it down

    Well, Mrs. Snackbar and the Pitty slept right thru the storm, our outside camera doesn't even show any small branches on the ground. And the power is still on so it was like it happened the last time we had back to back major hurricanes. The 1st one comes thru and takes out all the weak stuff, the 2nd one comes thru without issues.

    The issues are different this time in @supersnackbar territory, the unreal traffic! I had to pull the plug on it this evening and just head to the yard as opposed to trying to get in to Ocala, I didn’t have another 50 miles of that left in me!
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.

    I'm pretty sure I passed the man, the myth, the legend, @supersnackbar this morning westbound on the Indiana Toll Road. At least it was a SPD "Sweedish Dog" with stacked trailers. Around 9:30, maybe 8:30, depending on the time zone change.

    This is the best I could get from my dash cam clips. I was in a brand new International MV607 cab and chassis headed to Joliet, IL to have a tow truck body mounted on it. Then brought this beautiful KW with a Cottrell 9 car hauler back east to deliver to New York on Monday.

    That looks like my backside. I tried to time going thru Chicagoland so I missed most of the morning traffic.

    Things that make you go hmmmm.

    With the new toll road plate readers, that take a picture of the front and back plates and bills by mail. I wonder if a stack of trailers, all with their own license plate, confuses the AI system as to which plate to use for the billing or if it just tripple bills the company.

    I wonder that too, in France, but not in England. Trailers do not have their own plates there, every driver carries a spare and puts it on whatever he is pulling. ;-)
