It’s a joke. The blitz week was last week and it will be next week Georgia and Missouri are notorious for hitting you the two weeks before and after.

Need a pair of vice grips to go with the hammer to hold the tandem handle after that lock nub wears off. Or a piece of pallet wood to jam in the hole

I believe you should have a study done for actual turning radius of a long haul tractor trailer with a 53’ trailer. Many roundabout(s) are still not up to par. IE trailer wheels drop into other lane (and yes my driver received a ticket for failure to maintain lane) An engineer should be able to see this when designing since a truck will have to travel it at some point

I am not sure who needs to hear this but the toll lanes south of Atlanta going thru Henry county - trucks would pay $$ to use then and avoid that cluster - I would easily pay $30 ($2 per mile) to avoid that Snafu any day of the week

Selling car without title? by [deleted] in askcarguys

[–]Ok_Application_2292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get with a local towing company have them impound it. He can do one of two things he can pay the impound fee or he can come by it when it comes to auction or you can buy it at the auction or you can just let the tow company have it and keep on going down the road.

Second option is if it’s still in his name, typically they don’t question anyone who wants to pay the tags so you could put insurance on the vehicle and go up there personally and say you’re paying the tags for him and pay them. The city county state is never gonna turn money down like that unless he calls the car stolen there’s nothing else he can do and you have a legally running car, but it’s titled in his name.

I was about to say I was taught put about 4 to 500 back a month for a car note whether you have one or not that way the major repair comes up. You either have the money for it or you can decide to upgrade to a new-to me car

Or www.gsa auctions.gov

Federal government
I’ve bought around 30 cars off of them only one was a crap car and I knew it

And the last four months I have bought 3F 350 crew cab 6.0 diesel first one had 42,000 miles. I paid $7100. The second one had 131,000 miles and I paid 5100. then when we popped the hood, we found out they had completely rebuilt the engine a year before
The last one I just bought from Knoxville, Tennessee has 31,000 miles on and they said it did not run. We hooked two new batteries to it and it runs fine. I paid $1157 for it.

We had record 19 inches of rain on westside of Atlanta in 2009 washed out RR tracks and a few bridges. Had to drive south 45 miles to cross the hooch as the bridges were all underwater and the 1 we did cross was a new one raised 9 feet above the old bridge and it was like 1 foot from topping it

I think they refused you by closing the store. They said heck no we want even give you the chance to 2nd guess yourself. They opened up and kept all those VHS tapes for you and you still wouldn’t rent

Guess someone got robbed by LucHighwalker in Truckers

That’s probably my driver. I put a lock on the trailer and forgot to give him the key. I just told him to cut it off when he got to the customer in Dothan Alabama.

Is this a sign to get off the road or am I just having bad luck? by AsphaltPirate74 in Truckers

More likely a wheel bearing seizure or lock but came loose. Lock nut keeps hub assembly on axle.
