Freightrain Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 When I get in those situations, I keep an eye on my driverside mirror and keep my trailer just off the yellow line(or whatever is over there). If I keep it tight there, I have no worries about the other side running into anything. Throw in some rain, night time and those ridiculous projector headlights coming at you....then I get nervous. The g/f usually just closes her eyes because she thinks all kinds of bad things are going to happen. Pfffft, nothing to it.What was bad a couple years ago on the PA turnpike, they were using all cones to control what lane you used. Running around a bend, in the rain/dark you lost your way real quick if you looked too far ahead. The cones just all mushed together and you couldn't tell where you were suppose to be.

yarnall Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 I saw Leslie and his Superliner on my second trip up today. That brought our total to 20. Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer52 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Leslie/Larry,At least you guys have a hood to help place you in the lane. Try that without a hood, talk about a pucker factor! Driving a COE takes lots of skill.....but I can show you some scuff marks on the RH tire. I am so busy watching the front that I don't have time to look in the mirror. PA Turnpike tunnels get me concerned. 1 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2stacksuperdog Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Id say those ramps were a bit over loaded. Quote Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 nice pictures. that orange and black b model with the Mack logo n the door looks clean. kinda looks like those aluminum ramps weren't B81 proof.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leversole Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 They had "10000 lbs each axle max" on them! Dont think the '81 has that much on an axle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTFormula Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Ah, so I get to see a picture of the B dump crushing the aluminum ramps Mike Mackman was telling me about. Not quite rated for the lbs I'd say. I got there after 2pm today. Raining like heck but got in and found Ken and Mike. See you guys tomorrow. Hopefully the grounds will dry out a bit. I have to go wash my sneakers in the hotel tub now. Mud...
