    Bad Van Crash

    For you, mostly in the California, AZ, occasional NV area in the last few months. No? Mostly slow and steady out that way. The occasional trip out to AZ allows you to open it up a bit I guess.

    Post mortem on Atlanta's icy gridlock.

    And this, and some of the other posts, is where I tap out of the soap box and remember why I don't post much here. Carry on with the foolishness and live your delusions. Meanwhile I'm at my delivery (thanks to my chains) collecting extra pay waiting for the employees to come to work tomorrow to...

    Post mortem on Atlanta's icy gridlock.

    Tell that to the hundreds that wrecked, I bet they would rather that "false sense of security" over that concrete barrier as their new hood ornament. :rolleyes: Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2

    Post mortem on Atlanta's icy gridlock.

    There are a multitude of wide shoulders along 85 & 75, next time you're passing through the area feel free to open your eyes and then log the mile marker closest to them for future reference. Nobody said you had to chain up both sides of your truck if you're just getting to a safe exit. Chain up...

    Post mortem on Atlanta's icy gridlock.

    True they were not made "mandatory", but in the interest of public safety they could have done whatever they pleased given that a state of emergency was issued. And I don't care to hear the tired argument of interfering with interstate commerce because it won't hold up. They ended up closing...

    Post mortem on Atlanta's icy gridlock.

    Atlanta has a whole 30 spreaders 40 plows in ATL popper. The storm started as sleet followed by two+ inches of snow. The roads turned to garage quickly last night and worsened through late morning this morning. Between all the abandoned cars and spun out/parked trucks travel this morning was at...

    Miles

    This thread has truly been fascinating. It has had me shaking my head, LAUGHING, AND confused. In the quote above, I finally had to sign in to get some clarification before I assume any further. Pandora2112, do you really stop during a 1200 mile run to shower or get service done? Not emergency...

    Bentz

    Allen Martin is the old address. They are right next door to Penskee, instead of turning at the light to go to hoosier turn the other way and follow the road past penskee Bolt will be on the right. I think it's actually New Haven IN. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2

    my truck freighliner m2 road tested and checked steering components, found ...

    "faulty" is a rather broad description, could we maybe get some further info on what parts are faulty. Can't really answer that 2nd question otherwise. Just to be clear, whoever told you that it was faulty, are we sure they weren't referring to the "loose nut behind the steering wheel"...

    New Fleet Owner

    In all fairness Cheri, I LMAO every time I read a post from a senior member that tells a new member to read back two to three years on here before asking what seem like simple questions to those that have been around the block more than once. In just the past 6 months to a year, how many...

    Half hour break work arounds

    With all the threads about the half hr break and the new "34hr" reset I haven't read much about HOW people plan to find that grey area work around. Not wanting to derail one of the other threads I figured I would just start one that could cover what people are thinking might work. Those on...
