The leaves start changing first in late September in the higher elevations around 6000ft and as the season goes on the leaves start changing down into the lower elevations until around the end of October beginning of November 🍁🍁

@@heathmccrackenYou can either pay for trucking school yourself and than go get a job with a company that will train you or you can go to one of these big companies and they will pay for your license and training but you would have to work for them until you pay that license off. Pretty much any big company will be able to do this for you.

Wooooo, yea Buddy, thanx for the shotgun view thru the gorge !! Would love to live off grid up in those mountains, surrounded by nature.. Buddy I appreciate you, your story telling of back in the day, having fun, kicking ass..

Target also charges if you deliver early $250 if you are early or late

@OTRBandit

I’ve only delivered to Target one time. I hate Target and Walgreens. They take forever to unload.

A great video. The last time I stopped at that scale it was night time almost every truck was going by. The scale at the end of the video. That scale house worker came out and looked at my front tires weight ratings. And each tire was rated at six thousand pounds. I had to get two new tires from the loves just over the other side of the hill. I had to get tires rated at seven thousand pounds each. I couldn't move any additional weight off of the steer axle. I was under gross by three thousand pounds. I had weighed the truck after getting loaded. If you ever have over twelve thousand on the front axle the tires must be rated at over six thousand pounds each. I had two tanks of diesel and that made the front axle heavy with the freight.

@GimpyExpress

26 күн бұрын

I ran into that in Washington state. Promised to get the 7,000 pound rated and never did. I always kept my fifth wheel set to stay at 13,000 pounds when loaded. It’s easier to burn fuel than to cut a load. Or even get it reloaded heavier to the trailer.

@OTRBandit

Walmart does charge if your early BUT, they will take you an hour early with no penalties in all the ones I have visited, there is also one good thing about Walmart too, they run a 12/12 (noon to midnight-midnight to noon) if you should be running late they have a decent grace period. I can never seem to grasp the concept of temporary pavement and why they can not lay it down in such a manner that it will not throw the steers left and right or try to shift and twist the vehicle, maybe it’s what my father taught me “if you do something, do it right or don’t bother doing it at all” 40 through there is spectacular visually speaking, one of the worst to me is 68 through WVA, PA, MD, especially when your at gross, you lose so much freaking time but it too has some pretty steep ascends and descends. Safe travels bro !!

@OTRBandit

25 күн бұрын

I’ve done 68 few times but only when I’m under 20K. If I’m over that I’ll take the turnpike though PA and back down to Baltimore. I also hate 77 through WV. You’re right, Walmart will let you come in one hour early. But sometimes you can call them ahead and reschedule without penalty. I’ve done that in Saint James, MO and somewhere in western Texas.
