to all end dump haulers...

Camped out in Lincoln AL tonight, long day, left the house and went up by Gainesville and loaded lime to jax, reloaded in jax and snuck that in to Anniston AL this afternoon, hit the TA with 4 minutes left on the drive. I’ll get up around 2:30AM local time and shag down to Elmore and grab a load of rock dropping about 5 miles from the house, in my best Charlie Sheen voice “Winning”!

 

You’re getting right with it @Trashtrucker1707
Dumped my salt in Colorado Springs and boogied down to Antonito. I’ll load warning track dirt tomorrow for a high school in Springfield MO. Kinda icy up LaVita pass but it really started snowing heaving in Alamosa. @Arctic_fox if you get offered a load to the hospital in Colorado Springs it’s a breeze.

 

@Trashtrucker1707 Wasn't me I haven't loaded there since last November. But I do have lots of lights since I added a few while I was off, I know I know doesn't make me any $$$ but it looks pretty!

 

Doesn't look bad, just too short for me but perfect for you. Don't forget to find out how much you can haul on the interstate, might not seem important right now but in the future it might.

 

Nice and it will be a while before i do salt. Im currently on a mountain in the middle of nowhere NC. Also my current load sucks and im a wee bit pissed because this scale is for little 20 foot or less dump trucks and even driving on the material on both sides trying to make the turn the lady at the scale house refused to belive that my semi would not make that turn lol....dispite the fact this is literally the 19th time we have gone through this. My truck is 71 feet long. Her turn is 40 feet long. My trailer alone is 48. Had to almost get stuck while listening to the peanut gallery to convince her i had to back ONTO the scale lol. Bleah things i do for a $4 a mile load.

 

That’s frustrating. It’s always nice when the cheeto poppin, big gulp sloppin scale lady looks up from Candy Crush and tells you how to drive your truck.

 

Right? Especially as i said this was the 19th time. Its not like my truck magically lost 30 feet since the last time i was here.

 

Well that happened. Was sitting in slow traffic and some moron going WAY too fast rear ended me. No major injurys just a cut and some bruses and police are on site but yea.....joy x.x avoid us60 west bound in springfield.

 

Few more pictures. Basically the tan jeep was hauling ### and lost control. Then rear ended the blue ford and shoved them up into me while i was rolling forwards slowly with traffic. Bent the everloving #### out of my guard plate and i got a minor dogleg now but no major damage otherwise. Only some minor injurys. The jeeps driver was a teen and is very lucky he didnt kill anyone. Feel bad for the lady who owned the ford though she just got that car a few days ago and it was more or less new she said.

Whats kinda funny though is the kid crushed he radator and left his car running anyway and ended up siezeing the engine atop everything else.

 

Jeez!! Well glad you and everyone involved is ok. That could have been way worse. Dude I’m in line at the Blue Beacon in KCMO it’s 55 degrees not a cloud in the sky. I didn’t know it was snowing like that 2 hours away from here!
