how many wheels does an 18 wheeler have? I'm confused, man.

[dewercs2]

Where's the valve stem for the 5th wheel? Figure need to check it for pre and post trip inspections. Don't forget to thump that wheel also!

So what if you are carring a load of Hot Wheels toy cars? :?

Are they super secret hazmat hot wheels cars? And are they in packaging, or just loose in there, thus causing problems when DOT opens the trailer doors?

And what if there's also a load of super secret hazmat ping-pong balls mixed in with the super secret hot wheels cars as well? :shock:

Oh for petes sake !!!!!

You drive directly into a lake, resovoir, river, ocean, gulf of alaska....

Believe me I understand the super secret hazmat rules. Regardless, if you are hauling super secret hazmat hot wheels cars, or sinking them in a lake, they are still super secret, so you can't count those wheels in your total number.

:P

Good gravy! Google "super secret hazmat" and you get 169,000 entries! :shock: Wonder how many wheels are secretly embedded in those entries? :shock:

I've never hauled Hot Wheels cars. But do golf carts count? They have toxic batteries, and geriatric old farts drive them, so that should be enough for them to be considered hazardous, should it not?

If it's not enough for super secret hazmat status, could I at least have slightly secret hazmat?

Granted -- but only if you count the wheels!

[JeffTheTerrible]

I'm worried that I've already disqualified myself, though - I was transporting them on a rollback. Oh, woe is me :sad:

The good news is, you don't have to worry about driving those into a lake. The old farts will handle that at the water hazards.

[JeffTheTerrible]

Unless Michael Douglas shows up first. Then the golf cart goes into the water after receiving a shotgun blast while the old fart has a heart attack 8)

Nope, going into storage at Herlong.

Did you recognize the unit markings on it? Kinda curious as to where it was coming from, because I was under the impression that the Army had mostly phased out the M1A1 in favour of the M1A2. Now one could be a real BBR if they found a way to swap that motor into their rig. Granted, the fuel economy with those turbine engines sucks, and you'd have to find one hell of a transmission to handle the torque, but still, that's 1500 horses, and in a fairly compact package, to boot.

Yep they did so they are being moved from AD's, and anyplace else to storage, not gona scrap them yet. There must be 5 or 6 hundred of them lined up out at Herlong.
Was a bunch of markings on it but don't remember any in particular. I know it was in GW1 as the guy loading it told me and pointed out the different colors from new ones getting ready to be shipped over there now. Guess these going into storage (mothball) are totaly gone thru and brought back up to spec. before storage.
