Hauling Railroad Intact Track...Go By Truck, Won't Get Lost!!

We hauled this for a major railroad line. That is four sections of 40-ft. sections of ties and track.

Hubby asked the shipper why they didn't haul their own product and the guy responded that truck was better. Why, you may ask? Well, we can get it to the destination lots faster plus we won't lose it for a month!!

Yup, the shipper actually said if the RR hauls it, it's not a priority (??) And their trailer will get put somewhere and it'd be a month minimum before it would be found.

Now, to my mind, if there were ever a reason to keep us truckers on the road, this is it. We're faster plus, we don't lose whole trailers, with product, for a month.

Yup, the country needs us truckers....

Reason #1,289,673 Why Us Truckers Are So Feckin' Grouchy

It all started just as I was pulling out of a rest area and moving slowly. I don't think I was out of first gear even. Inchin' along.

Then a fat-ass (looked like) late 60 year old dimwit male steps off the curb right smack dab in front of me. He looked right at me and kept walking across...wasn't going to stop. Hells bells! Didn't I KNOW he was important and the First Law of Physics (look it up, I'm in no mood to tell you) don't apply to HIM????

Did I mention that I'm at 75K+ pounds and he was a weasley 250??

Yes, I stopped for the idiot. The downside would've been too great for me.

Then, I went down the road a bit and stopped at a truckstop. The frontage road turns off and then you have about 1/5th of a mile to turn into the entrance.

So's, I turned off and happened to look into my rear view and there was a car right beside me going the wrong way till we got to the entrance. The frontage road is two way mind you....dumbass...

Anyway, being the pro driver I am, I slowed to let him on by and get off the road.

But I was so annoyed at two dumasses in the space of 15 minutes I blurted out to the girl behind the fuel desk about dumasses and it's a good thing I'm a professional driver and saved his ass.

The guy was standing right behind me....hehehehehe!!

Loves it!!
