They been off the road since '05 and started right up, put them on the trailer and hauled them back East after giving the owner 22k for both of them. I saw a ton of clean iron when I was there and CHEAP! California's a gold mine for old trucks, nobody wants them for some reason, lol. My nephew calls them Alex and Eddie, the Van Halen boys.

I was in a rest area and the DOT had pulled in while I was on my sleep period. They knocked on my door and demanded my paperwork. I ignored them as when you are sleeping, you are NOT on duty. After about 5 mins, I opened the sleeper door and told them to knock the shit off as i had 7 hours left of my sleep period and they just made me reset it. I called my company to let them know and they sent a qualcomm message to all drivers about what was goin on and to let them know of any other states doing the same thing. I have also been pulled in and told to NOT update my logbook at scales, I ignore them as well as the officers CANNOT override the rules for their own gain. I also ran a loose leaf logbook, so I can take out the days not required so the officers cannot find any possible violations.

@xheralt 10 ай бұрын

DO not deviate from approved route without permission, period. For the amount of time it would take for the bureaucracy to grind thru all that (and possibly still screw it up) you'd almost be better off pulling off to the side and waiting for EMS to clear their scene; if it affects the delivery schedule, so be it, but let dispatch and/or client know! Out of your control. If its a major scene, a structure fire, then yeah, try to get a reroute approved.

I've seen so much construction in once what would be considered rural less populated areas and it just destroyed that small town America laid back feel of that area. Where there was once less traffic quietness and a stillness many of us can appreciate now changed to noise more traffic and new residents with pissy attitudes very different from the chill welcoming polite mannerisms of said area. It's been a chore finding somewhere I can plant roots and settle down.

"DOT in the rest area". At first, I was WTF? Then I figured since they're gonna be out there anyway, its likely safer than a roadside. Years ago, SCDOT had a short off/on station on I-85S just south of US29 in Spartanburg. That installation was a killer. The so-called "off ramp" lane was only long enough for 5-6 rigs before truckers had to stop in the right lane of the 2-lane interstate. Back before flashing signs and notices for truckers, it was just a metal road sign that said Weigh Station All Trucks Next Right. The sweeping right hander leading up to stopped trucks in the right lane killed a lot of motorists before SC got wise and closed it for good.

I remember my first penalty box. It was a 1980 Pete with a 400 Cummins and a 15 over. I still don’t know what I did that was so bad to deserve that. 🤣

Too Bad the Ludington MI to Manitowoc WI Ferry is closed for the year, that would have been a short easy way back home ... Did you take the scenic ride through the U.P. or back south through Chicago?

My applause to that fire department for having someone who knows the detour there.

Way to go Big Man, l wish that you would have duct tape the door tight on the crane❕️you taped the exhaust pipe closed with l think duct tape on your last load. Would save a bit of a hassle latter down the road? Maybe? Maybe not? Just don't want to see or hear the great crash? I had a door on the right side fly open during my career, luckily on a city street, missed the woman on her pedal bike riding the curb😮, smashed the road sign 😢 a good flattening 😅 laughed a lot after l climbed back into my truck😅, it was only a steel pegged sign that got flattened 😂. Anyway, l hope the door on the crane behaves! It being on the left side and all😮. Or is it? 😮😢😅 maybe❔️ Have a good weekend Steve. ✌🏻❤️ 🇨🇦.
