Hairpinned

LOL

 

Nice Petercar, bad trip planning?!?!? Whoever wrote his permits needs FIRED.

 

I’ve seen the video and the backstory was the driver used to take this road many times but the construction made the turn too sharp for most semis so they posted a length limit which he ignored.

 

Time for some fancy backing.

 

"Turn right ahead."

"Turn right in 200 yards."

"Turn right."

"Turn over."

"Turn in your CDL."

 

That was soooooooo funny!!!

 

I always did just that, especially through Wyoming and even more especially any time cabbage had the chain law up, I would go up and cross tollgate, much steeper, much more windy, much higher with a LOT more snow, but no super truckers to crash you, if you met a truck at all it was a log or chip truck, so nothing to worry about.

 

You also followed the Doubles in the Midwest and other places (In addition to log trucks and certain other locals) and do what they did to get through the bad weather and round the road closure. It's no big deal running 7 Mountains Hill (US 322 below I-80 above the Junitia River) on 3 feet and powder snow if you were careful to hold your traction.

I generally did what was possible in storms, if I had to Park and wait it out somewhere safe, then its my belief that you don't get to run around out there with 4x4 or something silly (I do own a 4x4 and sometimes I leave it parked; even with chains for it)

I understand we might have some more snow up north before the week is out. We'll see how it goes.

 

Man i hit a hairpin turn in arkansas a couole months back, missed my delivery off the highway , no good place to turn around, made a left turn down a state highway , had a 60ft length limit but didnt have the sign until i was 3 miles down it... Found out why abkut a mile passed the sign,, hairpin turn rated at 10mph, took out the shoulder in the oncoming lane with my truck and my tandems was riding the edge of the cliff on the right, definatly had the pucker factor , but made it out alive and nobody saw it other than me
