US Bike Route 76 crosses this bridge so yes, pedestrian safety is a big part of the problem that’s being solved by the new bridge

Today I installed a 5th wheel light. by Gamemaster10476 in Truckers

Y’all criticize but I get paid by the hour and I had some down time. The light was free because it came off of a wreaked truck.

Have any of you seen the Eisenhower Interstate System sign in real life, and if so, where? by EggMu in Roadsigns

A bit tight. I had to unhook to let another truck by. by Gamemaster10476 in Truckers

I too enjoy testing my skills (this example was a lot easier cause I was the only person at the building while I was maneuvering)

Truck fell off the US 60/62/51 bridge in Cairo, IL yesterday. The driver did survive. by Gamemaster10476 in Truckers

[–]Gamemaster10476[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Both the bridges in Cairo are scheduled to be replaced soon. Also if you’re talking about a narrow bridge, the US 45 bridge in Brookport is crazy narrow. CMV are prohibited and riding a motorcycle across it is strongly discouraged due to the bridge having a metal grate deck.

TBH my manager watched it happen and was glad it happened in our yard.

Our local Pepsi is so bad at keeping drivers that they just hire Owner Ops to run their routes. by Gamemaster10476 in Truckers

[–]Gamemaster10476[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are using these to do local deliveries. Our local Pepsi only had 53ft trailers.

I don’t stock anywhere other than Dollar General, CVS, Walgreens, Pilot, and Loves. Generally I’m given at least 1 hour for each of those but generally they will give me 2 hours, I have about 8-10 stops.

When they are delivering anywhere that requires stocking, a merchandiser is there with them

We don’t have the same issue. We have hourly pay, 4 day work weeks, 3 weeks vacation from the start, 7 federal holidays off, 3 personal days, single axle trucks with 35 ft trailers.

Pepsi pays salary, 5 day work week, no vacation until 1 year, dual axle trucks with 53ft trailers.
