CHP reminds drivers to check their loads frequently after spotting this on the road

 

Cummins is a good motor...only reason to buy a Dodge. If you want a real transmission, though, you've got to put it in yourself. We had my friend's out for a gear swap...adding overdrive to his 6-speed Eaton Fuller.

 

Dodge has that Aisin transmission now which I hear is pretty darn good.

 

So, there i am, making this same turn we've been making all week (from the guy who doesn't strap the dunnage/chains back down from a day or so ago). 10 miles there. Get a load of steel, chain it all down, drive 10 miles, wait an hour or more to be unloaded (Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and then drive back. ugh

so i'm putzing back and there is a 4 lane (2 lanes each way) 45mph road, stoplight, we hae the green have had the green and some stupid pedistrian just decides to walk on it. me in left lane, trash truck in right lane, cars all behind us and here he comes.

WTF?
slamming on brakes, hitting the horn
i mean seriously

and if stuff had not been tied down (esp the 4x4's) away they would have went.

 

That fella needs to start with checking his mirrors. Or did they stop teaching that in CDL school?

 

There was a dude that passed me going down the 91 Riverside Freeway today in a van, with both doors still chained open.

I know he had a van, but a stunt like that deserves honorable mention.

 

Poor guy. He was 30 miles an hour over the speed limit, just trying to make it to delivery before it fell off.

 

There's a f350 in front of all that pile of branches that he just had fall all over the road.


"Don't need to tie it down it's only a few miles down the road"
