All the underpasses on the concrete there are 16+ and therefore unmarked. You'd think a tape measure would be cheaper. He was selling us X number of cords per load and getting greedy :)

What percentage of the male population of the U.S. does one suppose is just like him? I would guess
70%.
There are those who want to do that stuff, and then those who have done it, and realize it is not all that fun going forward and backward all day long, and would rather pay somebody else to do it.

And then there are fools like me that can't think of anything better than going forward and backward all day trying to get better. The fact that others are willing to pay for that is just icing on the cake.

At one time, Pennsylvania did not allow double semi trailers.

New York, and Ohio did.

That 40 mile stretch of I-90 that runs thru here, I knew of truckers who's sole job was to drive back & forth that 40 miles all day long ferrying the extra trailer for another trucker.....:oops:

To be clear, I was referring to a dozer going back and forth!

One thing that I have come to realize about some youtubers: They proudly show stupid crap. It must be to get increased revenue from their channel in an attempt to drive up views. It worked in this case as a bunch of us have now watched his video that normally would not.
