From Couer d' Alene to Seattle iz ah piece ah cake aye? I want ah report on the fog or no fog when you cross the Columbia river gorge between Moses Lake and Ellensburg. BTW, Their'z an overpass in Moses Lake that iz less then 14'6" but it's on the east bound side, lol'. My pilots had to block traffic on the west bound side one time so I could bop thru' the comedian at speed from the east side to the west side going east bound and then again thru' the comedian back onto the east bound side after I got under that overpass on the west bound side. It worked but it sure made that little 56' Yacht rock 'n roll. That little jewel waz delivered onto the Isle of long out to BayShore Marina 'bout a week later without a scratch If I may say so. You Guyz are dustin off' my Memory Banks on your trip west and removin' many cob webz, Jer

I'm 14'10" high so I had to go up 95 in Coeur d’Alene to 53 west into WA and down 27 to I90, 395 at Ritzville to 26 and back to 90 at the Columbia river.
No fog there but about halfway up Ryegrass it was pretty thick. Snoqualmie was dry and sunny. Got into Redmond about 10AM and only one of us is empty...

Isn't it fun these little side trips we must make with the OD loadz because of ah few obstacles we encounter on our journeys? With just that one load I mentioned earlier it took me 8 1/2 hourz from the time I crossed the Hudson River into Manhattan and get 65 more miles out onto Long Island to deliver it by following the coarse the Pilot took me on. Only the $ kept me doing it, lol. Stay Safe Kevin
When it gets to be more then one puller and what did I count FOUR pushers? it ain't fun anymore. I played with a 4 AXLE CORN BINDER TRACTOR, JEEP, DOUBLE DROP, JOE DOG, AND STINGER for ah while down in Texas. It would take forever to build enough air to release all the brakez on that set up. I'd release the tractor brakes watch the air gauge and count to 20. Boss saw me and saw that the I waz draggin' the Joe Dog 'n Stinger ah bit because they hadn't released yet and ran down the hill to the yard and started bitching me out for abusing his equipment and we came close to getting it on. When he stopped to take a breath and wipe the slobber off hiz chin, I turned the tractor off and flipped him the keyz and told him that I take no crap from no man and I don't work here anymore. I walked up the hill, got in my car and he waz still sputterin' and stammerin' when I drove out but damn I felt good.

I'm still looking for the warning label for my 5th wheel won't let go of the trailer in a muddy parking lot.
Should go something like warning "you are going to get muddy, greasy, and wetter by the second as the rain falls faster."

Sigh... That warning label is so damn depressing.
Yet we allow a 24 year old Cuban to barrel along at 85 mph weighing in at 80k lbs.

Here's a picture of a Dodge COE for Stan and Dave and the other truckers on FCBO.....

So how exactly does the autonomous parking lot work. I see a lot of cars being dropped off at 3/4 am to avoid traffic at a non mega dealership. @Dobalovr you will need to schedule one of your employees to come in at 3am climb onto a snow and ice covered parking lot that parked itself in your lot, to unchain back and cars off and accept delivery, without damage because the robot driving the truck is not getting it pinned on it.

That was quite a move.
300 feet long and 800 tons. It's sitting on 100 tons of trailer and being pushed and pulled by about 250 tons of trucks.
Makes what I do look like kids toys.

Our robot Lot Manager automatically tells off the robot driver and declares all kinds of transit damage and refuses the load. A robot fight breaks out and eventually the robot police show up and everyone goes to robot jail. Next morning I bail out our robot and put him on 30 day suspension without oil....
