How slick does this road look?




This is what I was saying in my post, it's slicker than it looks. (from today)

A pick-up is in the ditch behind me, I just started rolling when I took the pic. I did stop for one second,( not a good place to stop a hazmat load ) He just passed me, I was doing the speed limit :shock: Not fast enough for him....

I had a front row seat as this happend, he almost saved it 3-4 times, good thing nobody was coming the other way

There was a 1 ton behind me that stoped, he was O.K.


Oh yah, the guy thats hauling with me, an hr. behind me "smoked" a Moose with his new truck.... Maybe a pic tomorow...
( His truck looks like Garnet's L.N.)

Ohhhh how sad.
Garnets truck is soooo pretty. *gush*
Hate to see one like that go down.


This one passed our truck 3 minutes before he went in. :roll:

Ahhhhhh winter. It feels SO much like Spring today I can't believe it.
This was 2 weeks ago, same day as the other pic.

The pic doesn't show the damage very good anyhow. He has a cow catcher, but it pushed back into his grill, and headlight area smashing it all, plus the back of the hood got smashed into the cab. He's still trucking tho... :lol:

I seen the Moose in the ditch this morning (dark out) I think it was a calf, and just down the road a car hit a cow Moose later last night, FREAKIN hamburger and bones everywhere... Ravens "delite"... See them in the pic.... I figure the cow was on the road looking for her calf ? It just disappeared....?

Car was in the ditch, smashed bad... I got a pic... not very good tho, I just don't stop :wink: The car is on the right ( looks like a culvert ) Somebody dragged the cow further down the road to a pullout, it and the calf where gone when I came back north.

He has been lucky, last Moose he hit was in 85, I seem to hit a Moose every 5 years...

They are black and if headlights are coming at you, you just can't see them.... or they see you and run out in front of you, "it" happens... Good Luck :wink:

:P Your funny, :roll: If you only knew... go away now... phew...

Yep, That's the key, both hands on the wheel...

If I only went to truck driving school, I would have known that...

P.M. your phone number, so the next time I'm hauling 140,000 LB. load up an icy hill, I can get some advice... Thanks.... :roll:

After some thought,... Biting my tounge,.... ouch..

nothing worse than idiots taking pic of somebody else misfortune and posting on the net.. not mention the traffic slow down because of the time it takes to get the camera out.

Nothing like internet trolls telling you how to drive.
