other dog

Should've told her that it was too bad her dad didn't tarp his load properly...

indeed,that's a good one!..her momma should have swallowed her!

That would be much better if it were a video with that compactor actually "jumping", if you catch my drift!

.

like this?..we probably can't handle more than an ice cream,the compactor might be too much.

I got it all!

Once again,I ran like a dog this week-Negley,Ohio and back,Washington,Oh. and back with a 46,000 lb. single coil,then to Fremont,Oh. and back. When I left Fremont yesterday morning and went to Gerdau-Ameristeel in North Jackson,Oh. to reload is kinda when it went bad.

I told myself I was gonna go with their stupid ass program and not get angry,like I did the last time I loaded there.I used the idiotic platforms to chain and tarp,like you're supposed to. Wore my hardhat,reflective vest,stood in the safety zone while the moron loaded the trailer.I pulled the back of my tarp towards the rear of the trailer,with about a foot and a half hanging over the end of the 40' steel.Had it tarped well,with a 24' and 26' tarp on it,lots of overlap.Then when I went in to get my bills and leave the stupid bitch in the office said "you've got to cover the end of the load,you cant have steel showing". So I went back and pulled the tarp down tight against the end,but it lacked about 6'' of reaching the floor of the trailer.I go back in the office and the hateful bitch,who has never tarped or hauled a load of steel in her life, gets on her walkie-talkie and says "how does that tarp job look now?". The reply-"I can still see the bottom of the steel". The ignorant c*#@+ says "you've got to have the load completely covered so there's no steel showing before I can give you your bills".

Tried to explain to her I covered it like that on purpose,so the sharp ends of the angle and channel I had on wouldn't cut my tarps to shreds,and that with the overhang on the tarp it couldn't get wet. I told her that they should have said that at first,then it would have been no problem-now I would have to completley undo and redo the whole thing.She rolled her eyes...that's when I wished I could reach through the glass and wring her f@#+ing neck. So I go back out,get an old piece of tarp off the catwalk,throw it on the back of the load,tuck the excess underneath,put four rubber straps on it so the wind doesn't blow it off,and go back in the office. She once again grabs her walkie-talkie-"hows the tarp job look now?"... "he's good". Then she throws the paperwork at me and hissed "sign here!". So I signed there,said nothing,got in the truck,pulled around behind the building,took the piece of tarp off the back,fixed it exactly like it was at first,and left.

I'll know what to do next time. If there is a next time.

These pictures show how I had it tarped,but it didn't suit them.

THATS IT???

ONE???

FULLY CLOTHED???

Y'all need to run down thisaway. A seat 13 feet high does wonders with 8 foot concrete walls

...for different reasons than the last time!

AMEN. I AGREE 100% WITH YOU. THIS IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, NOT ANOTHER COUNTRY. BLESS THE 4 STUDENTS FOR STICKING UP FOR OUR COUNTRY.

MORE PEOPLE NEED TO DO SO.

GG2

they should fire the principal.

Was that a wrecker? The gumball on top looks like a firetruck.

I think it was a wrecker. I was looking for another older picture I took of it but I must have deleted it. I've tried a couple of times before to get a drive by picture of it but none came out very good or there was something in the way.

You forgot 'drive like a total douche bag'.

I did...sorry 'bout that.

...and drive like a total douche bag!

I would happily eat chihuahua pie, but it would probably cause tension in the home..

Muladzh. I can tell from this one post that you are a good fit here.

might have to go to the "scrap it down in the passenger seat" J.B.Hunt/Swift/Celadon/U.S.Express type fridge. Then get some stupid looking gloves with the fingers cut out and a spinner knob for your sterning wheel and ride on!

Well, I took a ride over to Keysville today to look at that yellow G-model and get some pictures. It's only about an hour from here. I mean, it would have been if it had been there, but it was nowhere to be seen. Gone.

rusty Mack on rt. 301 in S.C.

Actually, they don't mind....I had a u-joint that was starting to make noise and needed replacement. They couldn't get me in to do it for me, so I swapped it right there in their lot. Only lost 1 load...so I guess I didn't do TOO bad

My coveralls paid for themselves...kept my clothes clean & grease free.

...but I know what you mean...the Mack dealer up in Evansville didn't want to get me in (this was the first summer I had the truck) when the axle hub seal was leaking...some of the nuts were stripped on the studs. They wanted me to leave the truck with them overnight...as though I had a way to get home or wanted to buy a motel or something. When I told 'em "well, if you've got the parts, I can do the work myself in your lot" suddenly they could get me in.

Yeah, they're all pretty much the same. Salesmen and bigshots from Truck Enterprises in Roanoke (Kenworth dealer) would come to Appomattox and do everything but kiss H.H.'s ass (maybe they did that too,I don't know) to try to sell trucks but if you ever had to take it back for anything they didn't have time to fool with you. That's exactly why I told him i'd rather drive an IH,and I got one too-just because the shop foreman and service manager at Truck Enterprises were so hateful.

Virginia Truck Center in Roanoke, the Mack and Freightliner dealer, on the other hand were always very nice and so are the folks at Truck Enterprises in Lynchburg.

I used "Gorilla" tape many times in the shop for grinding shields, cut lines, and weather tight integrity with visqueen plastic to seal cars up outside, etc.... Much better than the normal duct tape and retains it's grip through hot/cold cycles. Most times you have to use solvent to remove adhesive residue, but nothing really gets though it.

Although I don't believe I would use the product to band aid something that was my livelihood, it has it's uses.

Rob

I just had to tarp some kind of radar equipment going to some airport somewhere in central Illinois so it didn't matter if it got wet.

I'm kinda just testing the gorilla tape. I used to use my "Clifford the Big Red Dog" bandaids on my tarps but they're expensive too and they blow off pretty quick.

Today, I got to add the fuel return line to the growing list of parts & pieces I've fixed w/ duct tape...

Today, I patched a hole in one of my tarps with duct tape-Gorilla Tape actually, made by the Gorilla Glue people. Expensive, but seemed to work great. I only use the gorilla tape for special occasions-use the cheaper plain old gray duct tape for normal everyday duct tape applications.

another vote for the pimpmobile. Just needs "diamond in the back, sunroof top"

Change his handle to "Huggy Bear"

so that's

yellow-1

pimpmobile-2

(not sure how Mike did his math)

lots of yeller trucks...

I would imagine this was the same G-model i saw being towed by an RL-700 wrecker approx. 3 months ago in southwest va. was not able to contact the wrecker driver on the CB, but made note of the towing company, maybe i can get in contact with them, see what the story with it is. The truck i saw was also bright yellow, looked to be partially restored, it was coming from mcguire trucking in drakes branch, VA was northbound on route 360....i will see what i can find out, and post the results- mark

Mcguire trucking is right off of 360 on rt.15 south. They haul a lot of lumber and used to bring some loads back in for F.L.M. This truck was only a few miles up 360 from Mcguires. Got my interest up now,i'd ride over there today and take a look but I got to leave for Fremont, Oh. shortly.

I agree, want to try something funny?,ask your average 20-something "trucker" to define the following terms and see what the answers are....EMERYVILLE, CRACKERBOX, 2 STORY FALCON, JAPANESE FREIGHTLINER, etc. its always good for a few laughs! greybeard trucking is getting to be a more exclusive club everyday, there are so many younger drivers that have done more than me,faster, better, and with time to spare it makes me think i have done something wrong the last 30 years!...mark PROPAGATION strikes again!

OK,found all these. Searched everywhere and could not find a picture of a Propagation.

superdog. guess you and PZ1 are right. they are coming out of the woodwork.

If you stop and look at it,get the serial # too.

OK, i'll stop next time i'm over that way. There's a little fuel stop right across the road from it.

Dammit Boy I have had the motherboard and power supply out of this mother, and have just got it back together. My taste's still turn toward older Iron, and tried and true southern recipes, with the exception of Rob's Road Kill Cafe. I still check out the site daily. I just haven't seen a lot that I cared to comment on. I will be here if you need me.

oh well...I didn't even know I had a motherboard. I wouldn't comment on this stupid crap I post either...like this little gem!

All those dumpsters sitting between the trees may have been filled with jugs of 'shine.

Tom should have checked that while he was there.

.

could've been. I delivered 18 new dumpsters, that might be a "front" for the real bidness.

Also on that note where is James aka (Boweavel)?

mike

they're both shunning us. hope they didn't r-u-n-n-o-f-t together!

I know Bulldog Man and Nocluejoe's status, but where in the world is Paul Van Scott?

off on a secret mission?..just busy?..or perhaps he's shunning us! Just a thought.
