Joshuab3687 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hauling drywall. I love the scenery and the food, but it's hard to get to the good food when in a big truck. They get REALLY pissed when you pull an 80k lb rig into their lot! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtdobies Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 We hauled alot of lumber out of the mill in Payson, Az. Tarping was a pain but drives were nice. Now why would they get pissed lol, imagine that.... lol Joshuab3687 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 They should put those fine eateries next to truckstops! We may be dirty,fat, and smelly, but we get our monies worth out of a meal! Lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtdobies Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Truckers are the easiest to serve too, as a rule they're mostly a lot of fun to talk to and just want decent food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compenstine Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 The only states I never made it to were Main, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Lordsburg NM was my favorite town I stopped in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtdobies Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Never went eastern route, but hauled race horses to NY, that was a bear, and family owned property in new Hampshire. Pretty place back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Do you ever head into fla? Its pretty rare that I get into FL. Usually only a couple times a year. It's a black hole for flatbed freight. It all comes in, but not much comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuab3687 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Driven in every state except Hawaii. And a lot in Canada. Back when I owned my heavy-haul rig, I took a lot of big Caterpillar parts up to the northern territories. I did Ice-Road trucking back before it was cool.

Mtdobies Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Ya we went in but had to dead head back... not fun. I remember the truck stop w the booth over the hwy, is it still there? Just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
