Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

I've seen that before: woof.

I specced out a new dually with a flatbed....hard to justify $75k on something that I wouldn't use more than a half dozen times a year..now that the artwork trucking isn't there anymore.

 

Round here that no habla #### seems to get a lot of AirPlay. I watched a guy bout 7 years ago blow a stopsign with a plow truck and T bone a school bus. No habla- truck got towed, bus got towed. Plow truck driver had to have a friend come pick him up because he didn't have a license. Un- ####ing-believeable. I was a witness, stayed to check on everybody waited for the cops. And saw how it went down. Tell you what I ever have a major ticket coming I'll throw the wallet in the woods and tell them "mis amigo es la truckadora!"

 

I like the way you think six. I've thought of making a magnet with a number on it so they just grab it real quick. (We dont have a number on our trucks) I've only had one idiot call in on me and he was another truck driver. I assume he tracked us down through our Mc number or something.

And mac, I have to drive like that to deal with all that horrid traffic and drivers down in Houston. LA, Atlanta, and Houston are tied in my book as worst places to drive.

 

Come visit down town Miami. The Cubans will school you on driving etiquette.

I did a run down there when I still had my old 386. We're at a light,.. 2 Cubans in different cars are yacking back and forth to each other like they were long lost lovers. Light turned green and they were still yacking. I gave a quick blast of the train horn to get their attention. Yep,.. it did. Not exactly the response I was hoping for. Instead the light turned red again,.. they were still going at it. When the light turned green,.. they did move,.. but at about 5 - 10mph. And they continued this pace side by side for the next 3 blocks!

So moral of the story is,.. leave the locals alone. No matter what,.. you cant win. They dont care.

Here's a pic of my answer to electronic logs and poor fuel mileage, Now if I can just get him to trade?

 

Back in the 80's I lived in southern Md and the Amish would come up the road with teams of horses with wagons loaded with huge stacks of dried tobacco they were bringing to the auction sales.

Trucking at its roots here.

Not my image, but I nearly spit my water out when I saw it:

I've seen that posted in here before. Brutal right?

 

Hopefully everyone is ok on that crash
