Popular Post other dog Posted May 21, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2016 I got around this week, covered a lot of ground- I saw a pickup truck with big stacks on I-85 in N.C. one day. I turned my secret spy microphone on so I could hear what they were saying - I saw an oversize load in Pa. too. ..and a Superliner ahead... ...beside me... ...then behind me- Never mind. 10 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Brocky Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) You answered my question in a later picture.. I lived in that Mexico in the early 70's!! And went to school in Oswego..You went to the nuke plant out at 9 mile point east of town.. The college is right next to the steam plant on the west edge of town. Be glad you were up there this time of year.. They tend to get a lot of that white stuff in the winter.. That wreck on the Pike did not look good..

Thanks again for all your pictures I went to Oswego once before. The late David Elder was with me, we had two loads of joists from Hancock Joist in Salem, Va. Before we got into town we saw dozens of people fishing in the river, some in the river with chest waders, elbow to elbow. We were going to stop on the way back because he wanted to see what they were fishing for and if they were catching any- he loved to fish. I was in front and ran by the pull-off spot we were going to stop at, so he didn't stop either, and complained all the way back because he didn't get to check the fishermen out. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post Green Dash Posted May 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted May 22, 2016 That stretch of the turnpike was even worse 2 years ago when the WB was under construction an all traffic was on the EB side. Trucks were restricted to the right lane which was now on the shoulder and inches away from the guardrail, which was damaged on a daily basis. I wrote the turnpike and got a form email back saying the engineers determined the shoulder to be sufficient for heavy truck travel. At that point I said screw 'em and took my chances on getting caught in the hammer lane. 3 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45305-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-334123 Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 I have ran the turnpike hardly any in the last 15 to 20 years until recently. Thought i'd save on toll money for the company, and save having to match any documents to any other documents, so I just ran rts. 79, 19, 39, and 20 all the time. Now that we have to run legal and have secret spy cameras in the trucks I take whatever route is easier for me. And it is no doubt quicker, with a lot less hills. For example, I left Sharon, Pa. one day last week at 1PM. I had 2 coils on, 46,000 lbs, going to Madison Heights- that's just across the river from Lynchburg. My 14 hours were up at 9PM. I don't know if I could have even made it by 9 if i'd went down 79, if I had I would have had to "hammer down" the whole way, and pretty much non-stop. I jumped on the pike, went over to Breezewood and down, and got to Madison Heights at 8:30, 30 minutes to spare! 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Just south of Berkley Springs, West Virginia on rt. 522. This was once a terminal for a pretty good size trucking company- was it Colvin? They had a fleet of red and white cabover KW's, hauled a lot of silica sand from U.S. Silica, which is on 522 just north of Berkley Springs. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Salmon fishing is a big deal up here.
