Catching Up More...


Slacking off a little on the old blog here. Except for sitting for 10 hours Monday waiting to get unloaded in Roxana, Il. I had a pretty good week. I was supposed to pick up a load in Jackson, Tn. and deliver it in Pounding Mill, Va. at 12:30 Tuesday, but it took so long to get unloaded there was no way I could make it. Earliest appointment I could get Wednesday was for 1:30, so then I had time to kill. I could have gotten there about 5:30 or 6:00 Monday, but I stopped at the Davy Crocket truckstop in Tennessee. When I unloaded in Pounding Mill I reloaded at the same place going to Chattanooga, then loaded in Chattanooga for Lynchburg. Then to the yard and loaded up for Roxana again to deliver Monday.

got a couple of pictures here-thought I saw nocluejoe driving the buggy truck in Knoxville, but it wasn't him. It was a cabover Pete buggy truck....

speaking of cabover Petes, saw this unit for sale in Montvale, Va. Don't see this setup in the east much. I thought about winning the lottery, buying this truck, and moving out west and be a hay hauler. Or move next door to Rob just to annoy him.

pretty neat picture of the PC screen-nice background picture,eh? (that's Canadian)

Looks like we've all been slacking off on the blogs a little.

Must not be anything too awfully interesting going on.

It's good that you are keeping at least somewhat busy.

We're still struggling a little, although it does look somewhat

promising for some future work.

Other than the fact that they are tough to back up - if not impossible,

why don't we see more long straight trucks with full trailers in the East?

Is it a throw-back to the old East coast length laws?

I used to get myself all crossed up trying to back up hay wagons as a kid.

And I never did figure it out.

Imagine what I could do with one of those truck and trailer combos!!

Why I bet I could close down entire neighborhoods.

A hay wagon will cross anyone up. Hard to back up because the tongue makes an extra pivot point. We'd usually hook the tongue on the front of the tractor to back them in the barn or shed, that made it a little easier.
