Popular Post other dog Posted January 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2014 All I got so far, but the week ain't over yet. I was headed back to Milton,W.V. with a mill roll today when I got a call from headquarters. They said the roll I was bringing back wouldn't be ready until about lunch time tomorrow so I might as well bring it to the shop and leave in the morning. So I did- brought it to the shop that is, I haven't left in the morning yet.I took a van load of kyanite to Chester, W.V. I got there Sunday night and backed blind side in the dark through the gate and up to the dock. I just back up a little at a time and get out and look. It's either that or back in off the road, rt. 2, which is pretty busy. It's not too bad blind siding in, there's no cars in there at night.Trucks at Tucker Equipment...nothing new here.Then I went to Alliance to pick up a load of firebrick. Here you have to go down and circle around that big pile of dirt and come back to where i'm parked to back up to the dock. There's a "no parking" sign right above the "stop" sign, those two pickups on the left aren't even supposed to be there. This guy caught hell backing in around them, and the fence and pole doesn't leave much room to maneuver on the other side.Sumbitch is parked right where I need to be!They finally moved it before I back in.Seen a state truck in Lynchburg that had lost both duals on the driver's side. The brake drum was on the pavement when I went by the first time, you can see the gouged pavement, when I came back they had it jacked up.They were ready and waiting for the snow.Saw a big Mack truck in Petersburg this morning.The mill roll I brought to the shop.Road shot- I-64 in Va, west of Covington,heading to W.V. 8 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Mike Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Yes the dock areas were always an interesting place. When I worked for a warehouse, one night a semi pulled up and stopped in the road before backing into the dock. An older gentleman got out came up to the dock. said he had retired but the company needed him to drive for them. But they had given him a truck with no power steering. I bet he tried 12 times to back into our dock and finally decided he could not do it. So he told my boss and I that if we would do it for him that he would give us $20.00. The boss spoke up and told him we could not do it for if anything happened we did not want to be responsible. The driver finally, after another 8 more tries, he got into the dock cockeyed, but I was able to unload the paper cargo.mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike69mackman Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 No clue joe you got that right! Went to penn maid in Philly one evening with a load of butter cream. Told the receiver power steering took shit on the 9400 ih I was driving so could she get the yard jockey to put the trailer in the bay as it's a blind side back up around the corner. She said no. I said would you like this cream in the silo or on your lot? She got the jockey to put it in the bay lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 I left in the morning and went to Milton and back. Pretty chilly when I left this morning.My leftover ginger ale from yesterday was frozen.Saw a couple of these trailers at the shop.Never seen such a big chunk of iron just break like this! They machine the inside of these rings, then put them in a big oven. Then they lower the shaft down into it and let it cool...that's what this one was doing when it just broke in half.
