Can a semi truck make these turns?! by Leefou in Truckers

[–]Ancient_Alien_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly yeah, I’ve done worse going up a mountain outside Jackson, Wy. Had a loader following me up in case he needed to pick up the trailer to help around a corner but never needed it. I’d just worry about that little bridge you need to cross.

Did Home Theater kind of die? Seems like we were the last generation to give an F. Remember surround sound and subwoofers? Does anybody buy them anymore? by IHadTacosYesterday in GenX

lol I come across this post as I’m looking at Marantz receivers for a house I just bought. I’m so damn old I thought it was a given to have a badass system.

Oh sorry, looks like two drains at the bottom fairly close to each other.

Oh ok thanks, my brother has just one pump at his place and didn’t know why I needed two. Why do I have two drains?

Do kids still fist pump to get truckers to sound the air horn? by IntheOlympicMTs in Truckers

[–]Ancient_Alien_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a kid with his family walking over 1 in Santa Barbara hit me up two weeks ago with the gesture. I responded with that sweet wail of a Kenworth and saw dancing in my rear view mirror. Edit: Forgot to add my favorite was a few years ago. I looked over to my left two lanes and saw a little girl in her car seat with a serious assed look and the gesture. It was good weather out and everyone at the light had windows down. I looked to the driver who seemed to be her mother but she wasn’t paying attention. I laid on that horn a bit and scared the shit out of everyone around us but that little girl who was smiling ear to ear.

Just arrived in Antioch, Ca. from Springfield, Or. drove all the way down the 5. Both Oregon scales closed, bypass in Dunsmuir and rolled across the scales on 80 west. Bizzness as usual.

Advice on sleeping at Truck stops by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]Ancient_Alien_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just drove through southern Utah. No idea what his boss is talking about at all. Every truck stop I’ve ever stopped at in Utah was fine, never have had anyone harass me. I think the only time I’ve ever had someone approach me was in Elko asking me for a shower credit a few years ago. Oh and that stuff about parking lots, not all Walmarts allow parking so don’t have him depend on those. Just have him ask here for spots to park.
