She may be a mess, but I think I like that bridge. It just needs steel grates for a road and it would be perfect.

I agree man. It’s a beautiful bridge. I love cantilevers and think they are the most beautiful bridges. Not only that they symbolize the times they were built in where people worked harder and had more pride in their work.

I have gone through your entire history and I still feel that how you struggle as an owner of a truck transport, similar to in Europe, and in a way I feel sorry for you, how much you struggle for a living in an even harder way. Patrik - Czech Republic 👍👍👍👍👍

Man it’s not easy! Most of the rewards you have are the freedom and the satisfaction of doing things the way you want to.

I remember that flood we hauled skidded coils to Macomb IL water got 3 feet deep over hwy 136 for several miles east of Havana IL ,when it finally receded they dumped about 4 feet of gravel over the road and then paved it . The detour was on a county road but it wasn't too bad weird looking at a big lake instead of cornfields. I talked to one of the locals according to him the water was coming from the Illinois river and it had backed up an aquifer and of course the water had no where else to go to.

I used gorilla tape on that hole. It was smaller than a pea but they had me open the doors and looked for daylight underneath

The doors will warp if you load on them too much. Mine are warped now from the previous owners.

I know exactly where you loaded in Illinois. You were just north of where I live. That hill dropping down to that left turn is no joke if you’re loaded. The bridge is getting replaced so it should be a brand new bridge soon.
