Where is everyone #5

Don't know. I was looking at the forum posts, and figured with the route he described starting in Rogers, TX, and ending in Rogers, TX that whoever was saying they were @TX2Day, might be from the area...in general....so I just did a search on trucking companies in the area and there was only one that was an active number, and through Google Maps street view, I could see that there was at least a conestoga and a van at that address.

So the name on the dba didn't leave a definitive answer since @TX2Day never gave his real name that I can recall. So my next thing to do, was check to see where and how many churches were in the area...and that also came up with only one in the area. So I checked their website out, for the staff, and nothing close to a Paul being the name of anyone there. Again, nothing definitive, but just trying to find accuracies in a description with what information was available. I used to do collections, skip tracing, and don't have access to any of the tools that were available to me back then, so just using what I had available I tried to find SOME kind of legitimacy to the story. I also did a search on obituaries, recent deaths...etc, in Houston, Rogers...the general area....and didn't come up with anything that might mention a truck driver or fleet owner...etc that might possibly be him. Yeah, the one you're talking about is probably the one I found via street view on Google Maps on TX-36/US 190 and it's a fairly recent pic, so I figure if it's him, that's probably where it would have been.

Nothing solid, as for the most part, very little information was able to be gleaned from his posts. One of the reasons most of us probably should be a lot more careful about what we post about ourselves online here, unless, like some of us, we don't give a #### .

 

I should correct myself, there are more churches in the area, but most don't have websites, and unless I want to call them all, which doesn't sound like a good idea to me, chasing a ghost if I can't even find an obit or death notice to base a search on, I'd just be cold calling people and bothering them, over something that isn't that important, considering how things went with the story.

 

You got too much time on your hands

 

Yes Sir, between exits 15 to exit 20.

Mostly good 2 lane now, depending on how big of a oversize might have to get off exit 15 and run route 60 if going east. And if going west get off exit 28 (Milton exit) and run route 60 west….

 

Between exit 1 and exit 6 will be the problem for oversize too…. It’s narrow 2 lane, think the sign says 11’ max width if memory serves me….

 

Little heads up for any of you that may run I-64 here in WV….

East bound at the Nitro exit (exit 45) when they finished the bridge approach over route 25 which is where the Truckstop is…. They really screwed up, when you come off the bridge expect to bump your head on the top of the cab, it’s God awful!!!! Just a little reminder…..

 

On the subject of people who make up stories on forums on the internet. I've seen a person cross post on 2 separate forums and their stories are similar but they change up the person that they "know" who's a driver. Its not new either, I've watched it over the course of years.

Its nothing harmful or inflammatory, just always about someone they know doin big things in trucking, making all the $.

 

On that note, Im fixin to get heavy with a 27k lbs load of rebar goin to W Tx.

 

Well, I am retired and unemployed since my last job in 2022, so yeah...home projects don't take up all of my time. I program, do research for various projects regarding software, home projects and things of general interest, do home projects, run around doing chores for my disabled in laws, shopping, house maintenance, snow, grass, repairs of home and auto, ohh...and I occasionally answer forum posts doing research others don't have time to do.....and I never seem to have enough time to do everything so.....I'd disagree that I have too much time on my hands. I just dig in and do, until I get bored or distracted...one of the benefits and curses of ADHD.
