A girl in a car. This is to show the importance of healthy snacks- note that she has an orange, an apple, and water instead of a Pepsi and a banana flip. Makes her hooters look really nice, just because of the healthy snacks.

Pretty good looking KW in Moneta.

Saw a super load making it's way out of Franklin, Pa. Took them a while to get it around this turn- takes a lane and a half with a 48' trailer...

and they had to get all this around it. I don't know what it was but it was so heavy they used a push truck, and they climbed the hill out of Franklin about 10 mph.

And I even saw the Powell Mountain goat. Unlike the ones in Moorefield, this one works alone and hangs out on these rocks all the time. I've seen it several times before but this is the first time I got a picture.

A dumpster full of new Werner aluminum ladders. I've seen trailer loads of brand new aluminum ladders at the scrap yard in Richmond before. I asked the man why they scrapped them and he said if they had even the smallest defect, like a loose rivet or something, they scrapped them ...

post-1374-0-94531100-1373712618_thumb.jp

because they were afraid of people getting hurt or falling while trying to change a light bulb, then they would try to sue them because they would claim the ladder was defective.

I saw a red headed girl on a red Massey Ferguson bush hogging at the aluminum place too.

And a Diamond Reo Giant tipper truck.

I loaded these aluminum logs there, in Greenville, Pa.

Got held up by 2 accidents on the way home. This one was on 358 on the bridge over I-79. Had to wait about an hour because the ramp to get on 79 was closed so they could land the life flight helicopter on the ramp. Don't know what happened, but there was at least 3 vehicles involved. One of the firemen told me it would be a while, and he hoped I wasn't in a hurry. I told him I understood, I was just trying to get home, and there was a lot of people there having a lot worse day than I was.

Chopper landing in a big cloud of dust- that's how close I was to the ramp I needed to get on.

Then I waited about 15 minutes on 422 for this one.

I did see a colorful mixer on the way home though.

with that 19 axle I am going to go out on a limb and say they are grossing pretty damn close to 400k or over. 10 mph isn't bad at all. Bet you could hear them coming. That girl on the ladder now damn it man

Was over New Castle way last Tuesday and saw some windmill blades sitting unhooked in a rest area. Man them things are BIG!!!

Must have been there all week, I saw them a couple of times. Best picture I didn't get was not the dead porcupine I saw, but a Superliner Magnum headed east on 80 just east of the Ohio line Wednesday morning. It was pulling a flatbed with 2 big coils on it.

I Just missed you somewhere in Franklin because I passed that oversize load at 10th street on my way to Joy Mining to load.

I had just unloaded at Carter Lumber in Reno, probably passed each other somewhere.

That was My Cousin in his Magnum.

Glad to see fresh addition to the goat collection.

Blue DM transformed into blue R-model looks like a real magic.

By the word, couldn't you give me the contact info of that electric company wich provided the light bulb service?

All the other stuff is also nice to see.

I saw it again the other day, heading south on 79 just north of 80 a little ways. Didn't get a picture. I also saw another dead porcupine on the shoulder, so the next time I see a dead porcupine i'm gonna grab the camera...

The most recognized truck on I-90!

So....it's usually alone?
