72 Hr DOT Blitz May 16-18. Great time to shut em down, and do scheduled maintenance. Why run when Law Enforcement advertise they are making YOU a target. If it is about safety, then I will comply with scheduled maintenance at the time of my choosing.

Friend of mine who's an owner op just had a level 3. The inspector loosened his pigtail then wrote him up for lights not working. When he checked the pigtail, he saw it wasn't in all the way. So he pushed it back in and showed inspector they are working. Inspector said well they weren't working during the inspection. So, no it's not just people who don't take care of their rig who should worry.

Almost all of the equipment was not computerized until the last 3-4 years before retirement. Ran Gas, Detroit, Cummins, Cat, Mack and Volvo engines. Transmissions: 5 sp, 5 & 2 sp. axle, 9 and 10 sp., 12 sp. Spicer, 5 x 2, 5 x 3 (2 sticks), full automatic, 3 pedal auto-shift, 2 pedal auto-shift.

Well my take on the guy riding the motorcycle was a tad different than yours FSC. Another great video. Ya I like the talk on the V-12. Blitz time means time for a break. Why play into there hands. But then some drivers are to lax on the maintenance of there truck and trailer. Loved doing wide loads. It kept it interesting. Three days parked in Orwell for me would have not been fun. Spent many a mile in COE’s. Never was lucky enough to run a flat floor. I did like driving COE’s. Well glad you got a load out of there. Have a great and a safe day.?Happy trails and happy motoring.

Well look at that another driver in the same lot doing an actual Pre-Trip. I hardly witness it anymore. Many of my coworkers don’t. I tell them the truck did well on my run and if there is anything to be aware of. They take that info as their pre trip, we switch out and they go. If they have to transfer logs to an inspector they only have a minute or 2 on duty before driving and they aren’t going to go with that. We can also be audited and they’ll get ‘em there. It’s their problem, but seriously… it’s not a big deal to look over you equipment daily. These things do a lot of miles per day and things can change quick.

Several companies used "Joe Dogs" to make a tandem out of a single axle tractor for weight purposes. They essentially added an axle....non driven, dead axle. You were allowed 34K on a tandem most states, 20K on a single axle. We had them at Roadway and they were manufactured by Overhead Door Co at first. Ours were called Jiff-Lox. The Jiff-Lox attached to the tractor frame with a pintle hook-type device to hold it in place. The tractor frame was equipped to receive the Jiff with same height and width frame rails. We had to slide our tractor fifth wheel to the front of the frame rail, almost against the cab. Then we had to slide the fifth wheel on the Jiff onto the tractor frame because the pintle hook device was cast and wouldn't be strong enough to pull a loaded trailer in some cases. There were four hardened steel pins on each rail for each fifth wheel which dropped into corresponding holes on the frame rails. There were air and electric connections in the tractor frame so you had lights and brakes on the Jiff. You could really get dirty and greasy messing with those converters. When disconnected from the tractor, they were the converter dolly used between two pups for doubles or in some states, triples. Ours did not have air ride and a "Jiffed up" tractor rode especially rough. Overnite called theirs "Kwik Locs." Here's a link to a short instructional video made by Overnite and found on KZbin. There are others to be found. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6K6lqmFiZuLicU

Illinois State Police were pickin' off trucks lefr and right coming up I-57 yesterday , I got off on I-64 and made a beeline for Indiana. I just wanted out of that communist state. I know it's a blitz, but that was ridiculous.

With your thinking it, more or less, means unsafe trucks will be on the road until the owner feels like taking care of a problem. We all know, there`s a lot of owner operators who don`t give a crap if it ever gets fixed, as long as the truck still runs.

It's legal for motorcyclists to split lanes in many states. Not sure where you are or if it's legal there, but even in the biggest nanny state of them all, California what that rider was doing was perfectly legal provided of course that he wasn't exceeding the speed limit, but that's a different issue. Big fan of the detroit diesels here. If you're considering doing a project will look forward to see it's progress. The wet road makes me think of movies. Notice they wet down the roads when they shoot the film. It's to keep contaminants out of the air which blur the shots..
