I raise with box truck drifting
Tell her not to be a side seat rider when she gets into bed tonight.My good wife whom i depend on these days for transport until my licence is reinstated wont use the mirrors to back the car up.I mentioned the mirrors today and was told in an aggressive loud voice not to be a back seat driver. I shouldnt complain but it makes me crazy,just had to get it off my chest.
Taking a load of illegal mexicans to NYC motel, in a hurry to get to the hotel bar before last call.I raise with box truck drifting
My drift was in a John Deere 400 articulated truck. It was slow speed but fun.No video but I did one time put a empty 773 Cat haul truck into a full drift on a haul road and managed to pull it out just fine. Those rear brakes were not designed for wet gravel roads with no weight in the
That's what she saidMeasure twice and it was still too long!!
I'm taking you up with that raise, next load of eco blocks I get weighing in around 3300 lbs a piece I will drift my 5 ton around the corners here and record it. Use to drift the semi here.I raise with box truck drifting
I run 740s one winter i think as far as stuff with tires goes there are very few things that did better in the mud. Some how i was the last truck out of the yard every night so if we started a new cut and had to go a different way i was the first to try it. One night we started a new deal i was never on this site during the day so i had no ideal about anything just if i found a road try to go the way that seemed right. I got loaded drove down the road came to a road that went the way i needed to go but it was pitch black out couldnt see down it very far so i drove on and found a way back to the stock pile. I dumped head back to loaded i think 10 trucks running that night . I heared on the CB some one was stuck . The truck behind me turned on that road it was a dead end . He was stuck put had backed up a truck length. A D6 went to get him and backed up side ways in his ruts stood it almost strait up in the air . Had to have a track hoe pull the D6 back down earth to earth then unload the 740 and pull it free.I never liked getting stuck in the articulated off road trucks, on one job for a quick turn around I just started drifting the rear end around, to back up to get loaded. Worked good, rental of course.
The loading guy that didn't want to drive the truck either, then wanted to trade positions.
