  1. That's way nicer than what I referred to him as. No chance of the shipper paying, he wrote the ticket to me. They used to write overweight tickets to the company, now they go to the driver. We were delivering to First Energy and they do have a permit for delivery trucks to run than section of road, but I didn't have a permit with me. We are hoping to send a copy of the permit to the court and get it dismissed. Patsy Moore, president and C.E.O. of F.L.Moore and sons told me not to worry about it, but I can't help worrying a little about a $6,357 ticket that's written to me.
  2. This week I saw a green combine in a brown soybean field. I also saw another green combine in a brown corn field. I took this load up to a jobsite in Evans City, Pa. Another driver called the jobsite and got directions. They involved turning on a 10 ton weight limit road, but that's the way they said to come in. Shortly after I made the turn I saw a cop backed into a road that crossed a field. Then I saw him pulling out behind me after I went by. Then I saw the blue lights. I pulled over, and he asked for my license and permit. "permit?" I said. "that's what I thought" he said. "follow me down here so I can weigh you." So I followed him down there, and he weighed me. Then he gave me this, and my license back. And on to happier stuff- Yard dog killing the mosquitoes at the shop. The Liberty University sign on Liberty Mountain in Lynchburg. Went to Duluth, Ga. and came back by McMinneville, Tn. and picked this load of machines up for N.B.Handy in Lynchburg. It was a light load, but a pain to tarp. Last time I loaded there I had a Conestoga. I saw a fire there too- they burned a load of trash.
  3. ...and I look pretty much the same now, eh?
  4. Saw a nice buck walk across the road about 50' in front of me in Lynchburg yesterday. I stopped but by the time I scrambled around to get the camera all you could see was his rear end in the brush. Looked like about a 6-8 pointer.
  5. Oh...Burr Street TA? Been there before. I was trying to call you, but you're on BMT. Glad to hear you made out OK. I was looking at different maps of the tornadoes online, looked like they were all from Peoria east. Lot of then over in Indiana too, right up the way you went. Might be a good thing you didn't go the 74-39 rt, it said at least 6 trucks were blown over about 80 miles west of Chicago.
  6. Nocluejoe called yesterday, he was north of Indianapolis somewhere, heading towards Chicago. He said he was expecting bad weather north of Chicago, hope he found a safe place to wait these storms out.
  7. I stopped by there and took some pictures a while back, but i've never dealt with them, didn't see anybody when I stopped. http://www.bigmacktrucks.com/index.php?/topic/33395-found-some-b-models/
  8. thanks Ken, they're all natural too.
  9. Once again, I ain't got much. Kind of another screwed up week, but it turned out not so bad. I unloaded lumber in Moneta Monday and thought I was going to Petersburg and run four round trip mill roll runs to Milton, W.V, which would have done me for the week. But, I had to pick up a load of scaffolding in Bedford to unload in Norfolk Tuesday morning (theoretically anyway) and then I was supposed to go to Petersburg and get a mill roll. However, I didn't get unloaded in Norfolk until after 4 o'clock Tuesday evening, so I went to Petersburg and layed over and loaded Wednesday morning. Got back to Petersburg Thursday morning and the mill roll run was over after one turn. Went to Lynchburg and loaded for Warren, Ohio for Friday and loaded at McKees Rocks back to Lynchburg. I was sitting at the fuel stop in Ivor, Va. Tuesday and saw this machine pull in and get fuel. saw this sign on that trailer. I noticed that there's a lot more leaves still hanging on the trees in Suffolk, Va. While I was getting unloaded in Norfolk I happened to notice this fire or sprinkler arappatattas on this wall- apparently this means that's a big building...thought 58FWD would appreciate it. I came up Boush St. to the light there, the workers came out and blocked that intersection and I turned left and backed into where i'm sitting. I was looking straight out the windshield when I took this picture. This job was right down town, I backed into Freemason St. to Granby St. I saw some big ships when I left, too bad it was almost too dark to get a decent picture by then. Saw some snow hanging around in West Virginia. New River at the bottom of Sandstone Mountain in West Virginia. ...self explanatory... And another one in the mirror. It was much darker than it seems in the camera, these cars were nearly invisible- I just don't get it. Followed this smoking truck down 95- The scrap pile was smoking at the steel mill- Traveling up rt. 7 in Ohio. Time for a random hot babe for no particular reason,eh? rt. 7... A plane in the sky over Warren, Ohio. Good for 16 free hot dogs! Large unit at the rest area. Plumber's crack, countered by girl with nice boobage in McKees Rocks. Added bonus picture, me and my lovely bride on my wedding day, 1984.
  10. I remember that well- I went to Boston that night, but I went up 81 and 84. Two Harris Trucking trucks out of Lynchburg were running together and one made it across just before it fell, the other one had to stop, that's how close they were to it.
  11. I have too, I don't care who uses my pictures, but I think it was Barry who said if you do a google image search a lot of times a picture from Hank's will come up. Probably a lot of people will use that picture without actually going to Hank's Truck Pictures and reading the "do not use for..." part. I'm pretty much in agreement that once it's on the interweb, it's out there, and it might show up anywhere. That's why I don't post nekkid pictures of myself.
  12. http://www.oldmacksrus.com/trannys.htm I always shift my quadruplex just like a 13 speed triplex.
  13. but you can make all those things with sweet potatoes, and one sweet potato is worth a thousand pumpkins....so they say, and I kind of agree with that.
  14. yeah, but you can eat potatoes. pumpkins are only good for...well, i'll get back when I think of something they're good for. might have to do some extensive research.
  15. no Bob, it was actually very delicious with the hot sauce and Sweet Baby Ray's combination.
  16. I don't know Speed, I never tried the BMT e mail.
  17. OK Speed, first of all just calm down- as for the e mail problem, I ....actually, I have no clue.
  18. Nothing I can add but . Your spelling and punctuation is fine.
