    What do you do with a skip loader? Clean a little here then skip over to there. Just busting on ya Big Don! I can't imagine the work it will take to clean up that mess. It will be dump beds with liners or stay home. I suppose they could use plastic but that might cause cancer in lab rats.
     
    Big Don Thanks this.

    Not like california will allow all the contaminated mud and dirt to be pushed off the side of the road. You know for them that is one big toxic spill now.

    I proof read my posts to get out MOST of my screw ups. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Mistakes can make for interesting reading.

    Some local end dump haulers are going to make some good money in the coming weeks. Wether or not the the state will pay the haulers is a whole other matter.

    I believe California has lots of bad weather that blocks traffic and stalls trucks and cars. Back in the 70’s I had to lay over, late the next morning they called giving me a load, I was at a motel at San Bernardino. Was picking up a load of grapes at Poterville.

    North of Mojave there had been a very bad sand storm and the road was closed down both ways, but the TV was saying it would be opened very soon. On the TV they said big rocks were flying through the air, many 18 wheelers and cars were stalled out. It opened up about the time I got there, thankfully.

    As I drove through there there was many 18 wheelers and cars setting. You could not see though their windshields are windows.

    There were many piles of sand. I was happy I did not go though there when the storm was coming through.
