Popular Post other dog Posted June 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2016 I saw a neat looking triple-double decker bus going north on I-81 in Pa. this week. I saw a girl in a car going north on I-81 in Pa. this week. She gets two pictures- I saw mountains- ...and tunnels- I picked up some steel in Morrisville, Pa. Had a little damage on the corners there- Then I saw another girl in another car. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted June 25, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2016 Then I saw the shipyard in Philadelphia. And then, believe it or not, I saw another girl in another car! And yep, another girl in another car- Saw a cabover White pulling a log trailer. Deer crossing the road. A g- never mind, it's pretty self-explanatory. 8 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted June 25, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2016 A girl- in a car. After I went to Mountain Top, Pa. with a load of pipes, then to Morrisville, then to Richmond, I went to the shop and got a van and went up to B&W and picked up a load of scrap stuff going to McKeesport,Pa. I was sitting over here backed up to the dock getting unloaded, observing the trucks on the outbound scales. The truck on the scales before this truck was over gross, so this loader came over and took a big chunk of metal off and dropped it in this pile. Then this truck must have been too light, because the loader man picked up the same piece he'd taken off the first truck and put it on this one. I went from McKeesport to Dillwyn, Va. empty to get a load of Kyanite going to Sanford,N.C. I stopped at the service plaza on the turnpike to get a sammich and pulled in beside this Quickway driver stretched out in his sleeper snoozing. One rock truck going up, two rock trucks coming down. They must go in the same clockwise direction for safety reasons- pretty good idea, that hill side is probably steeper than it looks in the picture, and it looks pretty steep! I was trying to figure out what kind of truck this is...I just don't know. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Popular Post other dog Posted June 25, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2016 Oh, I even saw a big Mack truck in Harrisonburg. And yet another girl in another car in N.C. I saw Bobby Moore's Transtar in Concord, turning onto 460 off of rt. 24. This was an absolute top of the line tractor when it was new in the late 70's. 400 Cummins, 13 speed, Eagle package, it was owned by Montague-Betts Steel and Bobby Moore drove it. When Montague-Betts got rid of their trucks- they had about 4 IH's and a couple of Brockway cabovers- Bobby Moore bought this truck from them. He had driven it since Montague-Betts bought it new. They had another Eagle just like it except it was brown, tan, and white. H.H. Moore bought that one, and hired the same guy that drove it for Montague-Betts and he drove it for H.H.Moore until H.H. traded it. Bud sale- buy 2 twelve packs, get the third twelve pack for one cent!..yes, one cent! I wasn't too hoggish, I only got 6 twelve packs, but I do know someone who got 60! 5 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Nothing out of the ordinary around here, but they caught hell over in West Virginia though. I came across the turnpike to Breezewood and down when I left McKeesport the other day to get to Dillwyn as quickly as possible. Normally I would have taken I-79 to rt.19 to Summersville, then rt.39 to Nettie, and rt.20 to rt.60 at Charmco. It's a good thing I didn't go that way, or I might still be over there somewhere. I've got to leave early tomorrow and deadhead to Chicago with a stretch trailer and pick up another long load at Atlas Tube going to Petersburg, Va. Got a 7am appointment time to load Monday morning.

Popular Post 1958 F.W.D. Posted June 25, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2016 I was a Civilian Firefighter at the US Navy FD at the Phila Naval Shipyard FD a ways back when I was young and when that yard was FULL of inactive ships in the mothball fleet. Not too long after the PNSY shut down (after they finished up the overhaul of the carrier USS John F Kennedy) the Fire Dept was downsized and I was sent down to the Aberdeen Proving Ground FD. I used to love working at the PNSY FD and still go down there once in a while to visit the guys. You can't see it in the pics, but the USS JFK (which is now inactive) is tied up at Pier 3 over on the Delaware River. The Bridge that you cross when on I-95 is actually going over the Schuykill River about 500 yards north of where the Schuykill meets the Delaware River. We used to have a small fireboat which I was qualified to pilot, and I knew all those waters like the back of my hand. Was fun times back then. 3 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/45787-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-337547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Nice to see familiar places in the pictures of the week. I don't get away from the I-95 corridor much anymore, glad you could come up our way and visit. I also recognized ELG in McKeesport, took many scrap loads there when I was dump-truckin'. Don't miss that place all that much, used to park there to sleep overnight, if not you could be waiting in line until noon. I would stage my truck in line, then walk up the hill to a neat little bar & grill to eat supper. Been at least 4 years ago, but they had 40 cent Iron City draughts during the week.

Wow, thanks for the info! I only go there about twice a year, but they're good paying loads out of B&W- the loads pay both ways, that's why I could deadhead back to Dillwyn to pick up the Sanford load.

Underdog Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I remember Dillwyn, as well. Nice ride, beautiful country, but I picked up a bulk load of pyrite in my aluminum dump trailer, it stuck so bad it took me 3 days of hard labor to get it out. I can laugh about it now, good trucker story, but wasn't much fun at the time.
