Popular Post other dog Posted November 15, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted November 15, 2014 I went to Chester, Va. to unload a load of steel Monday morning. Saw these two big rigs heading west on 460 in Appomattox.I was wandering around while I was waiting to get unloaded and spotted this GMC and a couple of Dodge pickups across the fence.I saw something green in an old shed back there too and I first thought it was a stationary GMC engine, but it was too far away to tell for sure. I zoomed the camera in to the max, and now on the big screen I can tell that it's a machine of some sort, but not a Detroit Diesel engine. Then I went to the steel mill in Petersburg to load for Savannah, Ga. I was waiting to get on the scales when I saw Green Dash in the mirror.He bypassed the scales and went straight in to get his load of beams. He's always there for you.Wait to get in...wait to get out.I was wandering around while they were unloading one beam at a time in Savannah and saw this around behind a stack of beams- two stationary Detroit Diesels! I must have conjured them up in Chester.It was hot sitting there too,but everybody was dressed like this-Meanwhile, I was sweating in a T shirt. Then I went to Allendale S.C. and picked up this tremendous load of boards.Saw this big Mack truck at the lumber getting place.Later, that same day, I saw a cotton field.Looking north on rt. 321, that's Columbia,S.C. ahead.When I got home I found I'd gotten a delivery myself- a big box full of packing peanuts.I took these two smaller boxes out of the big box, and it's still full of packing peanuts!There was a dozen new 12 oz. bottles in each box- nice!Then I went to Akron with a dropdeck trailer to this job site where they're building a substation.I saw a dump truck there.I saw a cement mixer truck there.Sat here in the road about an hour before I could back in to get unloaded.Had to blindside in off the road, between the two piles of rock, an air compressor behind the pickup, around the bend, the other bend, and the truck to get back to the crane. I pulled up twice coming off the road to get lined up between the gravel piles, and then no more all the way back to the crane. Didn't take any video though.It was a little chilly in Akron...This used to be the home of Summit Racing EquipmentThis is the home of Summit Racing Equipment now.Saw three bears on the way home today. 12 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Vladislav Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I also surprized why they didn't just put all those peanuts into the bottles instead of use two extra boxes.Thank you for posting so many red trucks Tom.My today's favorite is the red U with the tank body to probably piss a lumber over to make it wet.Not almost shure but I once saw people do it with woods.

other dog Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 How Wednesday Started. Started at 10 Degrees above and went down hill from there That is -6. Thursday started out -9 in fort MorganHolt hamburgers! Where is this at? I hit snow on the way in from Sharon,Pa. Thursday night. I went across 422 to 22 to 99 and 422 was shut down for a while between Belsano and Ebensburg until they could get a salt truck out there. I spun all the way up the hill from Belsano with 2 23,000+lb. coils on and when I saw a Smith truck pulled over in front of an old business in a good size lot I pulled in beside him. I hadn't had any trouble until I got to there, but there was one more hill that is really steep before you get to 219. I walked out onto the road while I was there and it was too slick to go for it. Then the state police and local firemen showed up and stopped everything until the salt truck got there, about 2 hours later. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Green Dash Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I came up with that slogan when I asked people if they wanted me here or there. The answer was always there.I can't make out the tractor number but if it's D1696 that's the dirtiest you'll ever see it. My buddy Tim out of Richmond drives it at night and washes it daily when possible. Since it's pulling a 53'er that might even be him if this is not too late in the morning.It got a bit sloppy on the PA Turnpike Wednesday night, but not too bad. I talked to NoClueJoe for a while and hearing was he was driving through in WV made me feel much better about my situation. 1 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37745-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-266839 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My appointment was for 2pm, so it was about that time.DSCN4590B.jpgI wasn't sure if that was morning or afternoon sun, that definitely isn't Tim behind the wheel. There are actually 2 drivers that keep their truck nice, the other is D1711, but I though I could make out the last 6 in the original picture. I've been good about staying on top of the exterior but I if get to work and my load is ready, I'm gone. I wanna be there for you, even if in a dirty truck.

farmer52 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Tom,Headed east from Blairsville to Cresson (22 or 422) can be a beech! One day last winter I was detoured thru Johnstown because of slick roads.I am surprised the Smith truck was not in the ditch.

One day last winter I was detoured thru Johnstown because of slick roads.I am surprised the Smith truck was not in the ditch.He said he made the run across there all the time and he had stopped in that same spot many times because of slick roads. He was a local driver, in a daycab with super singles so he might have had ditch experience before, those super singles suck on a slick road. After I was spinning coming up that hill I didn't want to go down the big one before you get to 219. It's not marked what per-cent the grade is, but that sucker is steep! 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
