Where is everyone #5

That is just awesome right there! When life throws a curveball, it’s great friends and neighbors are able to come together and help a friend in need. Great job!

 

Got one better than that ! Went to bed at the first service plaza on the south end of WV turnpike. Woke up 5 minutes ago got out and looked over my trailer to this site. Counted 11 of them in various stages of inspections. I walked around the truck real quick with my hat pulled down low and prayed my air was built up so I could push the brake buttons in as I hooked it in gear......this outlaw needs to slide outta here !!!!!

 

Top of the morning, gentlemen.

Time to go drop into Rontonio country

 

Sunofagun..... is it blitz week or something?

 

Brake week I heard.

 

I'm westbound rollin on 40 @ShooterK2

I'll be waving when I stroll by

 

I dont know , but I felt blitzed !!

 

Figures, I’m still in Kansas.

 

Yep, done there everytime a superload comes in from WV. Course since all of those boys have just been retrained by odot, they are going to be more anal bout spacings and dims. .....quoted straight from the man.

 

Picked up a load of crane overflow once in Winchester,VA, going to Texas. Headed down I-81 towards Knoxville,ran around that scale because of my length,then down I -75 towards Chattanooga. This was still back in the 55' overall length days,and Tennesse was probably the toughest state going for enforcement of that. Huge moneymaker for them,$57.25 ticket,paid a few. I had my IH 4300,with a 42' trailer I was 59'. Pulled in the last Tennesse rest area on I-75 late,found a spot on the in ramp,and went to sleep.
Woke up around 9am,looked out my windshield,and the Tenn. DOT had set up a portable scale deal in the rest area right in front of me,all trucks must go through. Now if I fire up,and pull through,I'm guaranteed a length ticket,as they already have a tape laid out on the ground for nailing conventional sleeper trucks. Figured I'd just lay low in my sleeper,and see if I can wait them out. The cops even came back when they were slow,walked around my rig,looking at things,they knew I was overlength,but they never knocked on my door. About 1:00 pm,they folded up and left,lunch I guess. Hauled butt out of there. I know time is money,but sometimes you just can't give them the satisfaction.
Tug Toy,I wish I was closer,I'd be there helping. Love tractor work. Only combine I ever ran was a 2 row Gleaner,lol. But I could handle those gravity wagons.
