Well, nobody told me I had to do all that!.. But I do know a dignitary in Fork Union, or who will soon be in Fork Union, who's authority overrides all the previous wannabe dignitaries mentioned who thought they had some authority to authorize some things that may or may not have needed to be authorized in the first place to do things that might have needed authorization by an authority to be done.

Oh no, I just got a memo stating that I could come and go as I pleased, signed by Underdog, Greendash, 39babymack, and Mowerman. They said it super-seeds any previous b.s. documents that might have been issued by 1958F.W.D.

Oh, by the way, i've never tried Iron City beer. I've heard people say it was horrible, some people said it was great, some said IC light was good but regular IC was horrible, and vice-versa- what's your opinion?

Wow, thanks for the info! I only go there about twice a year, but they're good paying loads out of B&W- the loads pay both ways, that's why I could deadhead back to Dillwyn to pick up the Sanford load.

Nothing out of the ordinary around here, but they caught hell over in West Virginia though. I came across the turnpike to Breezewood and down when I left McKeesport the other day to get to Dillwyn as quickly as possible. Normally I would have taken I-79 to rt.19 to Summersville, then rt.39 to Nettie, and rt.20 to rt.60 at Charmco. It's a good thing I didn't go that way, or I might still be over there somewhere. I've got to leave early tomorrow and deadhead to Chicago with a stretch trailer and pick up another long load at Atlas Tube going to Petersburg, Va. Got a 7am appointment time to load Monday morning.

Oh, I even saw a big Mack truck in Harrisonburg. And yet another girl in another car in N.C. I saw Bobby Moore's Transtar in Concord, turning onto 460 off of rt. 24. This was an absolute top of the line tractor when it was new in the late 70's. 400 Cummins, 13 speed, Eagle package, it was owned by Montague-Betts Steel and Bobby Moore drove it. When Montague-Betts got rid of their trucks- they had about 4 IH's and a couple of Brockway cabovers- Bobby Moore bought this truck from them. He had driven it since Montague-Betts bought it new. They had another Eagle just like it except it was brown, tan, and white. H.H. Moore bought that one, and hired the same guy that drove it for Montague-Betts and he drove it for H.H.Moore until H.H. traded it. Bud sale- buy 2 twelve packs, get the third twelve pack for one cent!..yes, one cent! I wasn't too hoggish, I only got 6 twelve packs, but I do know someone who got 60!

A girl- in a car. After I went to Mountain Top, Pa. with a load of pipes, then to Morrisville, then to Richmond, I went to the shop and got a van and went up to B&W and picked up a load of scrap stuff going to McKeesport,Pa. I was sitting over here backed up to the dock getting unloaded, observing the trucks on the outbound scales. The truck on the scales before this truck was over gross, so this loader came over and took a big chunk of metal off and dropped it in this pile. Then this truck must have been too light, because the loader man picked up the same piece he'd taken off the first truck and put it on this one. I went from McKeesport to Dillwyn, Va. empty to get a load of Kyanite going to Sanford,N.C. I stopped at the service plaza on the turnpike to get a sammich and pulled in beside this Quickway driver stretched out in his sleeper snoozing. One rock truck going up, two rock trucks coming down. They must go in the same clockwise direction for safety reasons- pretty good idea, that hill side is probably steeper than it looks in the picture, and it looks pretty steep! I was trying to figure out what kind of truck this is...I just don't know.

Then I saw the shipyard in Philadelphia. And then, believe it or not, I saw another girl in another car! And yep, another girl in another car- Saw a cabover White pulling a log trailer. Deer crossing the road. A g- never mind, it's pretty self-explanatory.

I saw a neat looking triple-double decker bus going north on I-81 in Pa. this week. I saw a girl in a car going north on I-81 in Pa. this week. She gets two pictures- I saw mountains- ...and tunnels- I picked up some steel in Morrisville, Pa. Had a little damage on the corners there- Then I saw another girl in another car.

You should have asked if it was him on the cb. If it was, he stopped at exit 48 to get something to eat.

I couldn't find your image or likeness anywhere!..I could make up one I guess... Here you go-

Yeah, I went to Charlotte Tuesday, had two stacks of sheets and 4 coils on. Then Thursday I went to Columbia, S.C. Had 3 stacks of sheets on then.

A girl pondering the situation by the gas pumps. Everybody's sitting here waiting for the gate opener dude to get here and open the gate so we can get in- be nice to get my tarps off before it gets too hot! The ramp from 85 to 77 north was closed Friday while they were clearing an overturn accident. I thought this large unit was thrown off a truck, but a truck had turned over on the ramp earlier in the day, so this is probably what it was hauling. Some wild animals where I unloaded in Verona, Va. Friday evening.

Over here in Amelia county, on rt. 360. I had my camera ready because there used to be an H model cab sitting there. Didn't see the H model, but there were lots of other Macks there.

A girl in a car- A girl in a car. I-85 in N.C. Another girl in another car, showing almost all the goods, just couldn't get a good picture. Saw some nice shoes in S.C!

Some big machines on the Pa. Turnpike- More big machines- A girl in a car. Stupid birds- Some big Mack trucks.

I hauled a few loads like that from Joliet, Illinois to Winchester, Va. in the '80's. They would band the material to the trailer, with these big-ass heavy duty bands, at least an inch wide i'd say, then you'd still have to chain it- straps hadn't been invented then.

I usually do all the above, in this order- I start a bar fight, get beaten up, then I throw up, then pass out.

Bah, you're just a bunch of old white dudes that just don't get it!

Just in case anybody missed it-

Yes, I had to have an oversize permit for every state. I could run 24/7 in Indiana with no escort because the load wasn't wide, everywhere else-Ohio, West Virginia, and Virginia- I had to have an escort and could run daylight hours only. Illinois was daylight only, but I made it to Indiana before dark, so I was good. The escort met me at the Ohio line at Richmond, In. both times, and we got to Lynchburg before dark both times.

Found this dead black snake in the garden just a few minutes ago. Looks like it was trying to crawl through the fence and got stuck.

Yeah Bob, the ones I loaded in Elkhart last week were 77 feet long, these were 80. I had to open the trailer another hole though, from 68' to 73'.

That's Jessica Alba, I don't know what movie it's from.
