    Snow dog is the kind of dick that’s usually causing all the traffic problems. He thinks he knows better than everyone else and tries to live out some weird traffic enforcement fantasy by Cutting off t

I got offered a load to WY this morning. I didn’t even turn it down, I just hung up.

How much snow do they have up there?

I don’t know the totals but 80 was shut down all the way across.

Snow dog in Ohio?
 

35 South of Jackson is the best road in Ohio. Have never ventured into that AA truck stop since the rest stop is just a few minutes from there. Ever stop and checkout the Mothman statue in Point Pleasant, WV? Probably not that easy to do in a big rig. I like to pull up the Mothcam and people watch a few times a month.

I just watched a moth man doc the other day. I’d like to check out the museum.

 

The food at the truck stop isn’t bad. I’ve only ever had breakfast there but it’s better than any of the fast food joints. And there is tons of truck parking there.

Crossed the G W bridge into NYC today for the first time in over 15 years. I hope it was the last time ever.

What's the story with stuffed animals decorating the front grill and/or rear bumper of large trucks?

Any damage Drifter? 

 

When my kid was a Bliss, I drove from San Diego to El Paso in July.  Man, the fucking highway was paved with chunks of rubber.

If you have the volume up you can hear a piece hit the truck but I’ve looked all over and can’t see any damage.

That mother fucker never even checked up. He had to be running 85-90.

I didn't know Swift trucks could run that fast.

Yeah, all of their drivers I’ve talked to bitch because they’re governed at like 62 or something.

Had to be a lease ruck, which begs the question... WTF would you lease to Swift?

Paywalled article, but the short answer is because it's cute. I used to have a couple Garfield stuffed animals. One was suction cupped to the lower passenger window the other was a half body they hung out of the trailer door. I thought they were funny af. Had a Muppets Animal I used to swap out with the window Garfield. Get a sense of humor for fucks sake.

Ah, for some reason it wasn't pay walled for me. That was basically the gist of the article. The most common answers were 1) it's funny, or 2) chick's dig it.

That's it. Ya gotta have a sense of humor to deal with the mundane. Same reason I'd write free beast exam 50 ft ahead on a dirty trailer door. You'd be surprised how many times it paid off.

I’ve seen guys with skeletons and blowup dolls in the passenger seat too.

That swift trailer was most likely a UPS or Amazon brokered load.
They call them “power only” loads. Which means I would pick up a trailer at a yard in Dallas and run it to Houston drop it and pick up a different trailer and bring it back to Dallas.

Those floors are very common in older production buildings/warehouses - bombproof, but provides some give in regards to foot traffic.

 

what are the dimensions of the "bricks"?

 

sorry, I'm behind on the thread

We used to call them "drop & hook" loads.

Because skinned cats are frowned upon.

That truck must be deleted and is running a tune.  No reason to drive that much weight that fast.  

I really want to build a scale model of this, but the extended cab is extremely rare.

Use a 1 ton pickup as a platform, you wouldn't need to scale much besides the wheel wells.

I used to talk shit about Macks until I drive one for a couple of years. They ain't fancy on the interior, but they're tough. I drove an early 90's R Model and they made huge improvements to the suspension from the old camelback days. I can only imagine what they have now.

My BIL has one, and it's a nightmare for electrical issues.   Otherwise pretty solid.

From what I understand Volvo is in control now.

Quiet as a Mack Truck, lots of luck thinking up an alibi. 

Goodbye says it all. I feel like Blackhawk was underrated. I really enjoyed their music.

Anybody have any experience with a Western Star?   Nobody in my family has driven one.  I hear they are a damm fine truck.

Drop and hook would be more if I worked for the company and dropped an empty and picked up a loaded.

Power only is when I drop MY trailer to pull someone else’s.

LOL. Can’t void that warranty.  You have an X15?  550hp?

565. I’ve been looking at PDI and they have set ups with intake and exhaust manifolds, turbos and tuners that work with the emissions.

Back in the day (late 80's - early 90's) I had a pretty good TV set up. It was similar to this pic, but it was an Emerson. It was secured(?) with a small bungie cord sitting on the mattress in a cabover Freightliner. There used to be a movie rental network at Petro and TA where you rent at one place and return anywhere in the network. It was pretty lousy and I usually wound up doing the scan/computer work for the high school dropout minimum wage clueless clerks. But the set was damn near indestructible. It went through 100s of thousands of miles bouncing on a mattress held only only a small bungie wrapped around the carry handle.

Bet you had a couple of "go to" tapes under the mattress.   Late 80's?  I'm guessing it was mostly John Holmes/Marilyn Chambers stuff, with a little Christy Canyon, Ginger Lynn, and Nina Hartley mixed in.
