Runaway Trucks

[Oxbow]

I'm assuming that's the one he's talking about. All trucks are supposed to be at 55 anyway being California. Unless that wasn't true back then.

That's just a suggestion! Lol

I'm honestly not seeing anything special about this hill. It's long and would be boring but nothing particularly difficult or different about the approach. Shoulders plenty wide and a dedicated truck lane.

It's just the length, and volume of traffic can make it worse.

More of a test of patience than anything.

Western hills tend to be longer but not quite as steep. Until you get deep into the mountains. There is on hill around carbonate Colorado I think. It’s steep and long. Like 8% or better. But interstate wise they generally ain’t bad.

We don’t have hills back East. It’s all flatland

And your butt sucks buttermilk

Your sarcasm detector needs recalibrated.

I read somewhere that the legal maximum grade on Interstates is 7%. I need to see if I can find that.

Not sarcasm— it really does

I think that’s correct us Highways I’ve seen as high as 9

Yeah Rt 30 over Tuscarora is 9. It can be puckery sometimes. I'm not looking forward to that without jakes. Hopefully I get a newer truck before I have to run it. Lol.

I don’t remember if it was 30 or 50, but that was the closest I ever came to un-assing one. I loaded out of that paper mill in Cumberland md and was gonna take a short cut.

I missed a shift. It's Trump's fault.

Not everything is Trump's fault.

Sometimes it's the patriarchy.

A bronze statue raped me once.

It’s not rape if you backed up on it.

It's just the length, and volume of traffic can make it worse.

And the visuals, it looks almost flat because it's a straight slope for so long. It can definitely lull you into thinking you're down when it's still a 4-5% grade. And like someone else said, you get in brake trouble and you're already running 55-60, it's a long ride down.

Statues magically come to life and started committing hate crimes whenever the national anthem is played. You didn't know that?

Probably was route 50.

 

[Humble pie]

Probably was route 50.

I believe it was. I was taking a short cut to 79 if I remember right

 

[Humble pie]

It was not a shortcut.

 

[Electric Chicken]

I almost forgot about Sidling Plateau.
