^^^^ I guess the sign wasn't large enough for this guy to read it. ^^^^

^^^^ Is the guy by the guardrail puking? ^^^^

^^^^ Looks like the cop is writing the guy a ticket, like for having a swayback nag of a trailer. ^^^^

View attachment 17022

^^^^ Looks like two was too many and the guy found a low clearance bridge to knock one off! ^^^^

^^^^ What the? Did this dope take a wrong turn? ^^^^

^^^^ I suppose that Mario Andretti was not driving that truck, was he? ^^^^

"Who are these guys?" Why, the world's best truck drivers, of course!

yeah but they DOT likes to see you log 3 mph UNDER the posted speed limit....

Terry didn't say anything about where he was running and what the local limit was. He only said 69 in 10 hours.

I merely pointed out that the day is 11 hours long, and using the maximum speed his truck his truck runs he can go 69 miles more than he said.
 
I got a Farmall Super M that's faster than that (with the bucket)... I'll give ya the triangle.
Some time ago in adifferent post I mentioned a tractor that fired up on gas and switched over to Diesal (****, how do ya spell that!), I sure this is one of those tractors. I just happened to be out in the hayfield on a 34 reset, with a similar tractor, dunno what it is officially called but at the Farm we call it "the 400"

My motor grader does that.

And it is spelled die sel.
 
it's impossible to be legal in driving and none of you can tell me it is possible

I do it every day.

But go ahead and keep telling yourself that. Eventually we'll read a story about a truck driver that got hit by a car that blew a red light and the driver died, or that he rear-ended some school bus, and it ended up being a huge mess cuz the truck driver shouldn't have been driving due to false logs and he got fired and sent to prison for negligent manslaughter. And it'll be about you.

Have fun with that.
 
Aint that nice.......you went back to pull him out of the mud.......with your 5/8th coil chains. :leer:

What's funny is the field he's in front of is owned by a friend of mine and his shop is about 1/8th of a mile from there. I called him and told him about this idiot and he said he saw him and figured if he's dumb enough to try that then he deserves to pay the wrecker bill. Wasn't going to get his shoes wet to help the steering wheel holder.

ya know, though about that later after i was off line.....
 
Those are pretty old pics and I believe it was Indiana. Never did hear the story on what happened.

I wonder if it's the reason they have that cross with the cop hat on it, somewhere along the turnpike. I can't ever remember the mm or even what side it was on, I just know it's on a curve & it's immediately next to the pavement right on the edge of the shoulder & it's been there for years. I don't think the hat is real because it seems to stand up to the weather.
 
Tough old 359, if it had been a Volvo it would have exploded and burnt to the ground.

No kidding. Looks like it needs a bumper and a hood adjustment. An aero truck would have looked like a bomb went off in a building full of McDonalds toys!

Yeah, but they would have saved so much money on fuel that they could afford to buy a whole new fleet of aeros!
 
Running legal is simple.

If everyone done it, wouldn't be long until the pay come up and the rules would be most likely eased up.

It's years of having the bulk of the industry running illegal that has resulted in the ignorant rules we have now.

Mike u r sooooooo off topic here, we are talking about snail moving trucks and u gotta bring up being legal! Where is that train derailment pic [MENTION=7569]Rubber Duck[/MENTION] ?????

How many times have u gone to an orientation to hear the safety guy tell u to log it legal, then he says I cannot tell u how to do it, but u will figure out how when u get out there on ur own. (stating it with a big grin and winking his eye)
