time for something different

i'm lovin it man i don't have to bust my hump half as hard. i can actually somewhat keep it legal now and still make good money i pretty much got the truck of my dreams she actually does a pretty good job of passing most trucks in texas i just found out yesturday hehe (still looking to try it out on the 85mph strecth though) as far as the flatbedding i love the challenge being tarping (not so much in wind but what can u do) to chaining fun stuff down like coils (hauled one so far) to generators (i got 3 on right now) as for OTR its what i've always wanted to do. i know one day i might get sick of it but for now its great i never in my life would've ever thought i'd see things like the bayou in LA ( did that yesterday and today) or cruise through houston tx with an oversize (did that yesturday) and im making a lil more then i was with the kb but instead of 100 hrs a week im down to 70/80 which is a huge load off. only bad thing i've seen so far is i got nabbed in the Louisiana scales yesturday for my oversize permit a little hard to read. the printer was running out of ink at the loves in alabama and it was readable just had to look a little hard to see the permit number. funny thing is when i got to the second scale the cop could read the permit just fine and couldent belive the first scale gave me a ticket. as far as my record its still squeaky clean they wrote it out to the company and no csa points to either me or the company. owner said not worry about it sometimes these things happen. but aside from that i'm just going day by day and loving every minute of it

 

i got caught up in that 5 miles traffic was backed up nasty hit but excavator seem somewhat ok. i think the drivers rearend was a lil sore when dot got done with him over in the eastbound coupe driver didnt even have the common sense to fold the boom looks like he just through it on the trailer put the bucket down and chained up and left all it was was a cat 210 excavator baby machine

 

if it was like a car 350 or something id get it you know he measured it permits said it was good but hit a bump the wrong and smack! but nope it had to a machine barely considered oversized and he didnt fold in the boom and that right there tells me he was nothing more the rookie. i dont know about u guys but i have never seen an excavator on a low boy with its boom not folded in to itself to keep it lower unless it was mini or something
