( Please watch part 1 first ) Part 2 of Video - This is from the end of the residential street to the 4 lane highway. This is a very tight and curvey 2 lane road - luckly i was empty on the way out - not quite the same as going in loaded but u can see some tight moves - that truckdrivers have to deal with alot.
This is where I will post day to day of loads that I run with pics of different loads or pics of the country that I travel. Might even throw in a video of some of the weeks activites or what I capture that can be crucial to help people understand trucking a lil more better (that has not been around it). DISCLAIMER - I may hold on posting a day to a week late - If I feel the load may be in jeopardy of safety for the load or me because of posting while in transit.

09-19-10 mine stuff prt1 leaving reciever
I unloadded to the right side of my truck - I have to go up and turn around (on this lil deer trail of a road in a housing area to get back to the highway - that will carry me to the main 4 lane highway. I never get above 20 mph on this vid but looks so much faster with the tight areas. Once I do get turned around you can see where I unloadded at.

9-1-10 dot scale and passing officer on shoulder
As truckers, we have to go into DOT (department of transportation) - They check to see if we are running legal and safe. After I actually leave the scale, there is a police officer with someone that they pulled over on the shoulder. It is the law that with emergency vehicles on the shoulder , that you move over (if possible) or slow down, as you pass them for their safety.
8-28-10 Super size load
Any time you see these trucks with the escort vehicles (the cars with flashn yellow lights and oversize signs) please give these guys room because they need all the room they can get. They have to make wide turns to clear things without running something over.
