    I hope Dale Clay makes more from his YouTube than he did driving there. I watched a pile of his videos before I started.

    I done it once as well. One of those thrown to the wolves moments and my pride was to much to open my mouth. Ten foot tall machine that made pasta. They asked if I needed help getting the tarps to the top. 'Nope!' To be fair I did get the tarps on the top myself. But I bet all of Buffalo could hear me cussing my frustrations. Took me hours to 'secure' that tarp(s). I put them on backwards. It was an ugly sail for 300ish miles. Stopped a million times trying make it work. Delivered the load with a few holes in those tarps. Learned a crap load the hard way. It may take me a little longer to tarp. But I tarp for 100mph!

    Even from your vantage point I can see the crap piled on his dash. That's never a good sign.

    (Or maybe that's just a reflection lol)

    Ohhhhhh, i got a doozy. From reddit group /r/truckers. And the idiot posted it on the internet

    gets better

    notice the trailer in the first pic isn't placarded while that whole pallet of totes is marked, in fact there's two marked of different types. I'm not a hazmat driver but i'm pretty sure that's all bad.

    the thread, just because: So how was your day? : Truckers

    They can ride together, but they need 4' of separation.
