Popular Post other dog Posted August 26, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2016 I went to Atlanta again, with a load of beams this time. Here's the Atlanta skyline from the place where I unloaded- I left there and went to Cartersville, Ga. to load some 40 foot angle iron at Gerdau. I saw a girl in a car along the way- She rates 2 pictures- No, she rates 3 pictures- Once again, it was just sweltering hot in Georgia- ...but i'm still not going to wear short pants hanging half way off my ass and tennis shoes when I go somewhere to load! I saw a big Mack truck there- I also saw this sharp looking pickup sitting inside the fence down the street a little ways when I left- 6 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

41chevy Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Aside from the girl wearing depends and the thing in knee shorts. . . and my lunch now on the key board from the unloader pics, nice view of the city.

Popular Post other dog Posted August 26, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 26, 2016 ...so then, after nearly passing out from the heat and humidity tarping that load of steel, I went up to the Daisy Duke diner- had just enough- well, almost- hours to get there. T he food there is great, and the scenery ain't bad either. It was too dark to take any good pictures though. Then, the next day, I saw a girl in a car. Load of angle, when I stopped to get a bistit on the way to Petersburg the next morning. The worst part was, the load was going to the galvanizing place in Petersburg- I picked it up for Triad Metals, and if i'd known it was going to the galvanizer I wouldn't have tarped it in the first place. Now you might look at this and think "tarping- what's the big deal?..what's he whining about, that looks easy enough!" And it is, I just like to whine...but when it's 90-some degrees, 100% humididity, i'm old, you gotta use that stupid fall-prevention crap to get on the trailer, it is kind of a big deal- oops, sorry, got carried away whining again there! After I got unloaded at the galvanizer, I went over to the fuel stop to wait and see if we would get a load out of the steel mill. I saw this dumpster behind Hardees while I was there. I loaded a load going to Muskogee, Ok. that delivers Monday. I'll leave tomorrow. You can see the beams in the mirror here, while I was waiting to turn into the driveway off of 460 in Concord yesterday. 8 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

BillyT Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Don't know where to start! I'd rather tarp when it's 90degrees than -10 ! When I was hauling foam insulation to Miami after Andrew, there was a Cuban kid about 15 who would fold and roll your full lumber tarps for 10 bucks it was 90degrees 90 percent humidity,well worth it! When I was hauling steel out of Pittsburgh in the 70's I had a 35000lb single coil,the rule was 1chain per 10000#.73280 gross days.Our chains were welded to the trl to prevent theft, Could only get 3 on the coil.Very dicey! As I got ready to pull out saw a loose chain I forgot in the cab!What would you do?It was pretty hot, Pgh in August! I untarped and threw the chain over,and retarped. I'm doing 45,thru Columbus Oh. Next morning,a four wheeler pulls out in front of me had to "lock it up" Phew! Felt something I can't explain, pulled in a rest area, One of the chains thru the eye had broken and the coil slid about a foot forward! I'm convinced with out that fourth chain the coil "would have joined me in the cab" An r model is sturdy but it ain't that sturdy!! Keep in mind to scale a 35k coil it has to be in the middle of the trailer, It would have removed that bulkhead like a knife thru butter! I'm m not religious,but I had "an angel on my shoulder" that day! And many others in reality! On a more pleasant subject O.D., we should all chip in and buy you one of those police car video cameras to mount on your mirror so you wouldnt have to shift, steer,and take the pictures we all enjoy so much,!lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Just wonder when she see's OD for the first time , will she do us a favor and drop some of that mail? Me and the X back in the mid 80's were headed to a car show in Birmingham, AL when we were slowed by an accident. Finally drove up and saw an older Emeryville cabover flatbed had one of those rolls came unchained and did go inside of the cabsleeper, halfway. I hated that day for him.

BillyT Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I hear ya Mike.my buddy's dad was a steel hauler,had a Polaroid photo of a wrecked flatbed with a load of 3" pipe.One section of pipe got loose, went through the back of the cab and through the drivers head!,then out the windshield. He was just sitting there in a normal position with the pipe through his head!I thought about that every time I tied down a load of pipe!
