Problem on this 1 is my load is coming in off their trucks. They told me at check-in it would be a while, so I really don't get why they schedule the appointment for earlier than their trucks can be unloaded.

Old trick used by third-string chemical companies.

Schedule me to show up two hours before the inbound truck.

Got played that way as both load-er and load-ee, back in chem hauling days.

I'm glad foodgrade doesn't play that ####.....

Someone mentioned they hate Trucking. I’ve been doing a little yard work for a couple days. The Trucks looking pretty good right now. That’s why I think everyone should have at least one Job, when they’re young, where doing dishes, mopping floors and cleaning toilets is part of it.

Lol...I got $0.50 for cleaning the bathroom at the gas station down the road. But it also got me a pass into the "No Customers Allowed" area. That was priceless.

I hate Trucking. Can’t seem to get that out of my head. D.Tibbit always seemed to enjoy Trucking. Always running hard, tarping, and never complaining. Then all of a sudden drops a bombshell. Now Cattleman has a plan. None of this is helping Me get some enthusiasm to Work. I’ve been thinking, what to do. Just ain’t feeling it. Polish the Tanks and wheels? No, too much work. Put my new stereo in? Not enough patience. Dig out my old boots? To much work getting them on and off. Maybe I’ll buy one of those straw hats at Loves. Cover my bald spot. Maybe a Midnight Rider Truckers shirt? Maybe not. Either way, time to cut my hair, shave, and head back out. Maybe I’ll listen to some old Trucking songs. That used to work. Yep that’s it. Need some Dave Dudley, no Red Sovine though, things aren’t that bad, maybe some Waylon. Some good Classic Country, before it was ruined by Garth Brooks. That’s my plan.

Yeah, just booked one going that way.
The plan is to crash at Schneider in West Memphis and then try 55 around 430 Saturday morning.
That's the plan so far

FYI - Last night at 8pm EB delay was about 20 min. Not bad at all imo.

Dave and OM will be initial crossers, tailgated by Opus.
(Joke, OM more cautious than that).
Serious... There is /was (last nite) a pic of it bolted as you describe
(upper/lower) and with over lappiing/boxed top and bottom cross pieces.
Like caged or sleeved. Strong.
TN DOT sent their own rigs to Bowling Green, KY to get the fabricated
slabs. (Google I40 bridge Memphis) and fish thru the offerings to get these.

That slab looks to be 6 inches thick! The Navy uses steel like that for cruisers. Or at least they did.
