Where is everyone #5

Actually had a fine time at the bar. Was a couple trucker gals sitting on either side of me.. lol

One from FL & one AL so we was shoot'n the breeze for couple hrs.

The brat was decent, but was still hungry so got a cup a jambalaya also. Nothing to write home about, but no complaints.

I've been told Rt. 20 is the better spot, so honestly I'll be checking that out next time I land over this way..

 

Would hope that is true. I don’t know what his age is. As you said, stranger things can happen. An EKG and scan could be some cheap insurance.

Truck stop in mineral wells WV closed or so I’ve heard


They still got parking at the McDonald’s on the access road?

 

I honestly don’t know, it’s been a while since I been through there.

Im gonna text a friend who runs that area little more than I….

 

I was thinking about Wheeling area sorry…. Yes the Truckstop at Mineral Wells north of the chicken coops is closed

Let me holler at my buddy and see if he has stopped there lately and ask about parking….

Yeah, it did, save your life. I had a stress test one year Jan 2003, clear as a bell...didn't stop smoking. Next year, didn't feel good. Found 20-30% blockage, in one year from smoking/plaque. I told them to get it out....said they can't...until it gets worse. They don't take a chance with a Widow Maker, unless they have no choice but to try.
Been keeping an eye on it. Had an echogram couple of months ago to check how it's doing. Knock on wood, it hasn't gotten any worse since it started. I had stopped smoking because of the need for that second stress test that had found it, because of the not feeling good part. Grateful to God for answering my prayers that short of a Heart Attack or Stroke, please help me stop smoking. That was in Jan 2004. Started flatbedding OTR in 2008.

 

When did you install the lift axle?

 

Last week. Machine will set fine here and drive axle weight will be around 47,000 without the lift axle, so far so good…..

 

Rocking 8 axles. Are you going to eventually go with the disc brake setup?
