    Overload of the Day

    I had just got done sanding some cabinet doors this morning and the dispatch called with a tow. It blew a radiator just near the state line and in a bad spot on a turn between two signal lights. I was close enough to the one intersection to flip around so I could pick it from the rear. One of...

    Looking at dump trucks again, single axle vs tandem

    Most around here run a tandem with a low profile 12 yard box just for that reason. It's a problem with hiring it hauled, most outfits are running a quad and yes those are not work a sh!t in soft conditions. Most around here run a standard 3 axle dump with floats on the front. They seem to get...

    Overload of the Day

    You are absolutely right, I know the ones I had to deal with towing were tough at times. Once in awhile I would have to help for extra muscle to get injured out in steep terrain. I remember one EMT saying-you always jump right in and we appreciate it. You really have to like your job to be a...

    Overload of the Day

    I think the driver just wasn't that familiar with the intersection, because it curves around to the left as though it is a straight through.

    It's the trucking business--what could------------will. * My old company Tate Transportation--The odds of this happening is on par with Power Ball. * A Saturday morning one Tate semi was headed west on Hyw 12, another Tate semi was headed east on 730.
