Live: On the ground from Aberdeen, Maryland

Baltimore has.. changed for us, it's a place I will always love. But my love is based on a different time that the City once was.

You can get a big truck into all sorts of places there. Just need to be careful if you are pulling pups or doubles because of local laws against them on some roads.

Baltimore today is violence and that does not bother me too much because Baltimore was the first to fight when DC burned by the British in the 1812 and again during the Civil War fighting Union Troops trying to pass through. And several other uprisings were put down as well, 1968 comes to mind.

Unfortunately, the City was once number two behind Ellis Island in Immigrantion, Number three in War Industry and number 5 in overall manufactoring etc. You could travel anywhere in the city in terms of food and travel the world in one day. Greek, Italian, Polish, German, French etc etc etc All the world was in Baltimore.

Fast forward to today, I see gangs and drugs tearing that place up. Large sections of that city you wont catch me walking because I would be killed for a variety of reasons. So. Bodymore, Murderland. Is what they call it.

I don't think that will ever stop. Until the People decide enough is enough and get it stopped.

 

I am glad you are having fun at work Mike! Stay safe.

 

Good on ya Mike for doing some exploring. It's a smart way (getting paid to do it) to find a new place if you want to try something different. I did that for a while, took assignments all over the US. Sounds like GFS is growing, use that to your advantage.

 

That's new then. In the old days the big hill eastbound prior to dam used to be a playground for dollar trucks. I cannot remember the exact name beginning with G of a really NASTY ABUSIVE carrier that was out of Harrisburg doing well over 100 down there. My father and his spouse was almost killed on that grade when they got blasted. The company was hounded and then totally destroyed by the state and feds decades ago to our joy.

Route 15 north of Marysville PA don't like 102" either. But they tolerate it as long you are a good boy and no jake in that town north of 81.

 

Me thinks @Mike2633 would make a good supervisor/manager. Seriously, not trying to be facetious or sarcastic in any way.

 

^^^^^^ Agreed. TOTALLY.

 

Go to bed, driver. You have cases to sling in a few hours!

 

^^^ please DO, Mikey ~ AFTER your nap! I'm in Fultonham. . . waiting...LOL!
