Still Alive
Yep I'm still alive, moved down South about 3.5 hours North of Vancouver.
I'm back hauling for Arrow for now, I'm actually changing truck colors in a couple weeks, so I can have all day shifts and weekends off. I like it for now, I am missing the highway and the Yukon but I will give this a while and not prematurely take off in case its just temporary. So I take Super B's into ridiculous places like this. All the loading place are like this, there is no room for error on the scales either, most of them are littered with lug nut caps from guys scraping and taking them off. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/tammyw/022.jpg My truck on its way up to the tipper. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v633/tammyw/026.jpg |

I still get some pretty awesome scenery running the Fraser Canyon to the Coast.

The Snake Pit (Two 53's can't meet here at the same time)
Notice the rub marks on the wall lol http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...w/snakepit.jpg |
:shock: ... all I can say right now is ... OMG LadyNorth ... I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering where you had got off to. I knew there were a couple of changes going on, but it's been way to long since I've seen you around. ..... dang girl :!: :!: :!: ... how do you like pulling those trailers around :?: ... I'm so proud of you, your doing something with those trailers I don't think I'd ever want to pull or do. ... Keep the pictures comin :wink:

lol... this was also my FIRST trucking job right out of driving school. Actually I like the Super Trains. I like going into these tight places, feels like your accomplishing something. haha Especially when the guys are hitting stuff all the time.
Honestly, my biggest challengs is backing those things up... and not what your thinking!!! We split the train to load and unload, and have to back around the little pups. Well after backing 53's for 3 years it was like being a rookie again! It is MUCH harder. hahah Was pretty frustrated for a while, but got lots of laughs out of it too. |
Nice pics LNS....why did you leave the OTR Yukon job?
