good job dino.good luck with the new gig. don't be a stranger around here just because your not steering & gearing anymore.

 

kwsan make no mistake i will always be steering and gearing,,,wheather it be a truck,crane,bulldozer,trackhoe.or a 100 ton crane,,,,,i allways keep me skills up to par as best i can lol but thanks for the kind word

 

Hey dino, how'd you like I70 in indiana...LOL

 

terribble but not my first time there lol

 

I've driven thru cornfields that were smoother!

Did they finally get the road paving done over by Nucor?

 

yes they did but the lot at nucor is almost as bad as driving around chicago or better yet that #### toll road I-77 comeing out of west virgina ,,,,,,, $24 bucks to drive something that solid concret and as smooth as a rock pit that the roads havent been graded in 3 weeks of driving on them

 

Good, you lucky I found out the hard way they didn't get finished! After I found my teeth I got out and looked to make sure I didn't lose a trans or rearend.

 

I'd agree with all that about I70 in Indiana, and I'll raise the I40 in OK - when PP and me drove through there a few weeks ago I had to re-attach a fairing on the truck after. Also like to mention the fine job about 50 state employees were doing that day of running spot scales everywhere - we got pulled twice just for a chat and a look-see. We're headed west for the next few days again, and debating the best shot between FL and NM. Haven't been posting much - just driving and sleeping and more driving - hope everyone's busy and getting their best out there - more to post later.

 

Yep, I40 W right before and all the way through Oklahoma City. Had to stop and make sure I still had cargo on my flatbed.



Fl to NM?

Easy, I10 all the way through TX, right into NM if you are going to "Lost Crutches", it's direct. Going to Albuquerque, just take 25N as soon as you get into Lost Crutches.
