    Yesterday I think three of the trucks from the central part of THE COMMUNIST STATE got together and rubbed a little paint.

    At least we thought it was a little paint.

    They all passed me about 30 minutes after I passed where they were pulled over.

    About 30 minutes after that there's a decent sized object in the travel lane on this very slight grade.

    We could tell it was solid though, and avoided it, couldn't tell what it was.

    Over the top is one of three pulled over again.

    He goes by me about 20 minutes later............his entire passenger side mirror assembly is gone. Arm and all.

    I'd go through a case of those every week, this truck sees almost dirt/gravel/sand as it does asphalt... It gets a wipe down with a damp towel once a week

    That was the one thing i hated about running up to the quarry everyday.. Never could keep the truck clean. Even with a handheld battery vacuum. Still had to wipe down with tub o towels everyday

    I dunno. She was the last of the three full timers, not counting the fosters.

    Typically doesn't play well with others.
