Sorry, not a driver half truth but a recievers..

You call for directions, and they start to name roads like "Boar Backs Trail", "Spring Valley Rd", "Turn right on County Road 4116. I think it's marked."

You ask, "Are all of these roads OK for a tractor trailer to be on?"

Receiver: "AHHHH YEAAAAH! You'll have no problem! We get lowboys in here alllll the time."

Anytime you hear "We get lowboys in here all the time", expect a very hairy situation, and go into it with extreme caution.

Another one is, "Can I make the turn out of this building with this 48' trailer?"

"Oh yeah, I have 53 footers in here everyday."

Your better off to go look for yourself and assess the situation. People have no problem getting you in a bind. Actually I think they like it. Watching a "big truck" trying to manuever all around their place is like watching a good movie to them. Before you know it, the whole office is watching you with smiles.

 

Don't forget,,,,,,,,,,,,

"Back in the day, I drove Portland, Me. to Portland, Or. nonfreaking stop."

or,,,,,,,,

"I can drive 20-30 hours straight safer than I can 6."

 

"My old lady is a doctor...I just do this for something to do."
