    This dude just jacked this Melton spread axle into a space. No need to, lots of 2 or 3 spot openings.

    Anyway, I swear all 4 sets of wheels were angled in different directions.

    When he'd let his foot off the pedal, the truck would leap forward like 5 feet.

    That just can't be good for that trailer.

    It's fully loaded with tires.

    Freightliner in Dothan Al. has an undercarriage wash, I forget exactly, but it was reasonable. Mine needs it bad, from years of a rear main seal leaking. It’s going to be a mess, A creeper, (old one, not my new one), and disposable coveralls. Preferably a hazmat suit. My old neighbor used to give them to me. Only used once, Lol. He claimed they weren’t contaminated. They’re handy in a pinch.

    Sounds like my Dad when I told him I was going to vote for YoBama.

    I had him going for years

    I finally had to confess that I did not so that I was no longer forbidden to come over to the house.

    LOL. An here I thought i was the funny half of this twin act.

    Tarp Monkey, you gotta speak slower @otterinthewater . Might need some finger paint, and poster board to fully explain it to some of them. ;)

    Is that it? No more to the game, just you pick some weird word and don't even use it? Not a fun game Dave.

    Public education at its finest. I bet the writer didn't moove very far up the writing ladder. Bet the owner has a cow over the horrible misspelling.

    Something that ugly...surely is easy to track without a number.

    Something that ugly getting around doesn't surprise me. Someone wanting it other than the original guy does.

    Better news if they couldn't find it. Plus it stands out just a little. You would think one would choose a color scheme it could blend in with other than a Barney Convention.

    Here's the driver ( other color on truck looks purple to me in photo)

    @Blu_Ogre no need to warn them. They are well aware I assure you. ;If they come ear often they know the deal. Their well aware I can pop bad puns. So there is a kernel of truth in what you say.

    I don't like buying corn at the store, sometimes I have to shuck the feeling I'm being stalked. People find it funny, but personally I find it all a bit earie. .

    People think it's easy doing this but it takes quite a bit of corncentration.

    Fun fact, Charles Manson and moldy corn flakes are both cereal killers.

    Liquor stores on every corner.

    I ear Ty Cobb was a big hit among corn farmers.

    Always make sure you get the pros an corns of a product before buying it. Cornvicts can't vote or own guns. :(

    Seed no evil, ear no evil.

    I'd apologize, but it'd be corny.

    :)

    Lol wow. Im surprised he made it that far without blowing a tire. U can feel the tension when backing up real tight with a full load. That means its time to pull up and straighten out or go find a different spot ! Probably flat spotted them tires on the front axle

    So we have discovered a new species of trucker... it is a combination of mr talk radio with the volume up all the way , parked right next to u. mixed with loud foreigner screaming at the blue parrot right outside ur sleeper. mixed with loud engine fan cycling on high idle every 13 seconds. with a hint of the air spitter going off every 32.8 seconds. The bad part is i am nosed in and he is 6 spots to my left and sounds like its right next to me..... some people live just to be ### hats

    Got passed by a buddy who hauls cars once. I saw the little alien plushy he has in his cab and when he comes up to me sure enough it’s him. Pretty small world out here.
