Mcrafty1 Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Should have chained up.By the look of the terrain getting stuck there my be the best thing that could of happened to the driver, I assume there is a road somewhere near the truck under all that white stuff? At least now it looks like they can dig him out and send him on his way, had he keep trying to go hard telling how he'd of ended up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyGunner Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 That first truck must've been stuck awhile. You can see how the snow has drifted around it.

Mike Blais Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 The Ft. Edward truck is on 22A in Shoreham. Pics are from 1984. The Matlack truck is stuck on Rt. 17 between Bristol and Waitsfield. Not a good road in the summer. That one is from Dec. 30, 1969. We got huge amounts of snow that winter. The blizzard of '78 had little effect on Vermont, most of the state got no snow. Meanwhile, the Matlack rig is still stuck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outbehindthebarn Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I know one thing for sure, that Matlack bottle is still working. They've been dragging them out of the weeds for the last ten years... and charging "like new" prices for them.http://www.truckpaper.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=6401145 Quote Fun is what they fine you for!My name is Bob Buckman sir,. . . and I hate truckers.

Brocky Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 That Matlack unit was probably out the Albany / Glenmont terminal.. I had just started driving out of Syracuse when that storm hit and remember working on New Years Day as the top guys did not want to..We had the older White 4000's with "Velvet Ride" about the only good thing was it did not hop and would go thru snow..
