other dog Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Finally got back to work Tuesday. Took a 2 stop load of lumber to North Jackson and Cortland, Ohio. Ran into a good bit of snow along the way, and it was about 11 degrees when I got to North Jackson.I was supposed to load coils in Sharon, but I went to Canton and picked up these saw blades instead. Didn't see Freightrain anywhere. Nice light load, no tarps. Had to scrunch up and make myself small to get out of the street. They brought the blades out onto the dock, then loaded them from the side.I unloaded at Gerdau-Ameristeel in Petersburg the next morning, then had to wait until 4 o'clock to load beams going to Florence, S.C. When I came out of the mill after I unloaded the blades there was 5 forklifts and drivers sitting, doing nothing. No trucks in line waiting to load. And 4 o'clock was the earliest appointment I could get!When I left Florence yesterday I went up to Mt. Gilead,N.C. and picked up a load of landscaping timbers. Got up to 68 degrees before I got back to Concord.I also saw a KW behind a KW somewhere along the way, and took another picture of the W.V. Turnpike tunnel, just because it was there.

Seems like yesterday going through that tunnel.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

other dog Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Hi Ed! and no, not coming from the south, unless you were lost. It's closed now anyway, there used to be a bridge across there, coming straight out of the tunnel.This is about 20 miles south of Charleston.

Freightrain Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Ah, down on corner Harrison and Navarre Road, Hiennam Saw..........sumthin like that. Know the place well, my buddy has his car repair place up Harrison a couple blocks. My other buddies machine shop that does my motor work is just west on Navarre about a mile. Unfortunately I live up north by the Akron/Canton Airport so I'm not down that way during the day. If it would been Monday I coulda met up with ya. Nice lil truckers choke and puke about a mile west at Raff Rd exit. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

They had a load of blades in Petersburg going right back to Canton that I hoped i'd get, but a TMC came in to load them before I even got unloaded.

other dog Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 OK. Daughter is on her way to Snowshoe now. Just wondering.That's up rt. 219 somewhere near the middle of nowhere. I've been by there, best truck route is 92 north out of White Sulphur up to 39, then west over to 219 north, rather than 219 all the way out of Lewisburg. But she's probably coming from sunny south Florida, and will take 77 all the way to Beckley, then 64 east to 219,eh? Hope she doesn't take 460 from Princeton over to Rich Creek and up 219, that's an all day job. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Freightrain Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Ya, the infamous "low bridge". You likely saw all the fancy warning devices hanging down now to try to keep the idiots from going that way. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
