    That's too funny Red lol

    Both myself and my adopted company mentor who has found this thread are both truckload guys so we don't have the fun of negotiating the tiny strip malls and docks and unloading chores the LTL guys do.

    But just speaking for myself I'd go out of my way to nail some Pepsi products given the grief those loads have caused me lately lol

    About out of time and need to get moving. I did take advantage of better equipment at home to share some traffic fun from yesterday. I thought I was in the clear being away from the Friday mega mess at I-285 and GA-400, but no. The Gainesville people needed to participate too. Fast ride up, then the fun began coming back on 985. All the action was within a mile of exit 4, which is usually prime for this sort of stuff.

    First on my side. Someone failed a brake check. The other car is in the woods behind the fire truck. Looks like the back seat and trunk are merged.

    Then a little further along, there's a blender in the NB lanes. SB had just cleared one so the traffic was still moving ok. Traffic was getting around on the ramp, which didn't help much.

    985-2.jpg

    Then another one NB, the econoline far left is burnt to a crisp. I guess the fire crews are waiting for the tow truck so keeping everything blocked just in case. SB side had to slow down and look as you can see.

    I'm paying roughly $1900/6 months for full coverage on a 2008 Suzuki XL-7, a 2008 Chevrolet HHR, bare Texas liability on a 1997 Toyota Camry and $10k worth of renters insurance on my apartment.

    My insurance is only that high because I added Jasmine (under 25) to the policy and it bumped.

    why would anyone have full coverage on a 90's vehicle
    WI is the cheapest insurance i ever have had
    the new fiat with full coverage and the 2001 ford pu with no collision is just $820/year
     
    TruckDuo Thanks this.

    Come on man, you live in Georgia, take the humidity. We dry landers are the ones supposed to be sweating. :p
    When I drove that ungoverred truck for that owner operator, I only ran 68 mph anyways. Though there were a few times I ran 75 if I was in a time crunch, one was I had exactly 4 hours to make it to my second drop in Kansas City after St. Louis and I punched it. Took it to over 80 once to prove a point to a 4 wheeler playing the slow down/speed up game on me in west Texas.

    It only started with new trailers we've gotten in the last 2-3 years. I pulled an R Leasing lease trailer with my old employer that was Maine registered, figured that meant our Maine tagged trailers were leased too.
