    Ahhhh paver Co. Prolly had one loose 5/16" chain over it. I actually witnessed a paver co that was hauling a mini loader. Had a single chain through the articulation (that wasn't locked out) that had enough slack in it, that it might aswell not even have been there. Pulling it on a pintle hitch tilt deck behind a 10 wheel dump. Anywho, guy was weaving around traffic on the indy loop. He was changing lanes at a high rate of speed and somebody was coming in the lane from the other side. Guy jerked the wheel hard and flipped that loader over on a little Ford Taurus and killed a family of 4 right there. All because he was just going to the other side of town and was in a hurry to get there. People suck.

    I have a new fly fishing lure, just finished tying it last night. 1/2 pack big red gum, full cup of lifesaver peppermints, empty coffee cup and 1.5 liter bottle of water, plyers and razor sharp knife in a belt holster. No cash expressed or implied.

    EDIT: Okay .26 and 10 paper clips to boost my bid, but you will have to deliver to the shop in LA. My son will be there to help you unload.

    This is getting exciting. But like a state bid, anyone offer any cash after bid is excepted? Off the books, back alley deal?

    Arizona allows 3rd party companies to file for IRP and IFTA - the Arizona trucking association is one of them. They have an office in Phoenix - the fees are reasonable and they are tied in the state systems. They also can check the documents for accuracy and completeness.

    Had them do the title and IRP for my truck when I traded last year.

    might be worth a call and trip to Phoenix - they are 75th ave if I remember correctly. They will let you in.

    Been quite a few years ago now. There was a Dept of Hwy dumptruck hauling fresh hot asphalt up around north east WV.

    He was running to fast for them old 2 lanes we have.
    Woman in a Thunderbird if memory is correct, had her window down when she met him in the curve.

    He turned over in a right hand curve spilling the load of hot asphalt on her car…. it filled the inside of her car and she cooked to death before they could get her out.

    I hate thinking about it…..

    Well I'll need to reject all bids. Shipper wants to retain this. They found a home. Receiver still is rejecting it. Now its going to another facility of shipper for storage on Monday. However they the manufacturer had to ask me what type of product it was. Then had to ask me if I still planned on loading my 2 stop Ohio load. This was at 1130am.

    So I'm already loaded and have to explain ask how am I suppose to load another load today. Never mind its 300 miles round trip and first stop closes at 4pm. This people are a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

    See you folks Monday.
