That is a possibility, but it was not the case here and they were not acting like there was a hazard. What they were doing is looking for a driveway on the left and forgot to turn their turn signal on. And when they saw the driveway they just stopped suddenly. Trust me, we talked it all out once we stopped

Haha that's exactly right! It sounds like you can relate very well. Thanks for watching!

Hey there, thanks for the nice words, I appreciate it. Overhang laws vary from state to state, and it can be complicated to keep up with when traveling across several states. In Nevada, you are allowed up to 10 feet of overhang before needing a permit. I carry an annual permit for Nevada, good for one year, and they offer two different annual permits. One is good for 7 days a week, 110 feet overall length, with a max of 15' overhang. Their second permit allows weekday only travel, 110' overall length, 25' overhang. If you exceed those dimensions, you need a pilot car at the rear. And the next state will have different laws. Most states have different laws for 2 lane roads vs multi lane roads, and on and on. It gets complicated sometimes, and honestly I've messed up a few times in different states, but you're rarely checked by the cops thankfully. In fact, on this load I messed up, forgetting 15' was the maximum allowed on a Sunday. But no one checked, and I made it. I hope that helps!

@@jupitertrucking Thanks for the reply Mate, Take Care

@DON-T909 👍🏼

It's perfect for that! Thanks for watching.

@ I’m sitting in Fernley at the old Truck Inn watching all your videos. I deliver to the new Google data center on USA Parkway tomorrow morning.

The Truck Inn was really an old school truck stop, I was sorry when they tore it down. At least they kept the parking for everyone. That's cool that you're in the area! I'm glad to know that someone nearby is watching, that's pretty cool. I happen to be in Oregon for the weekend, but I'll be back in NV Tuesday. The next video will be about my trip and weekend here, I hope you'll like it. Thanks for reaching out!

@ I live just south of Eugene, Oregon. I brought an oversized load from Spokane and routing didn’t take me home for the weekend, a rarity for me.

I'm picking up in Eugene tomorrow for Reno. I hear you about weekends, I'm out this weekend because I delivered to Astoria on Friday and my wife said she'd come with me if we spent the weekend. So here we are 😁

Thanks. I've been working on the music levels, and I think I got this one a little loud. Sorry about that. I'm going to keep it, still trying to figure this whole deal out. Thanks for watching, I'm glad you like it

It's a great place to park. It's changed a bit over the years, but it's a great stopping place.

Thanks! I appreciate it, I'm glad you like it.

It was a rough morning, that's for sure. But it's all fixed up now! We're ready to enjoy the upcoming week. Thank you Ally;

It sure is. You've got a really watch yourself to make sure things work the way they are supposed to when it's that cold. Trucking life... I'm not sure if it's fun or torture or just fun torture 😁. Thanks for watching!

Prudhoe Bay?? That is taking things to a whole new level, wow. I can't imagine working in those conditions. However, you have just reminded me of a day I had about 15 + years ago in the frozen tundra of Northern Nevada that I got entirely on video. I'm going to have to dig that one up and post it sometime. Thanks for the reminder! I appreciate your comments and I'm glad you enjoy what I'm trying to share, and a little envious that you get to chase the Sun! I sure am missing some warm weather right now. Safe travels and thanks again!

I spent three "summer" seasons as an equipment operator in Antarctica in the later 80s, too. Those were my bipolar years! I had to learn to stop going so far south when chasing the sun!😅

Good grief, I didn't think you could outdo Alaska, but that'll do it. I don't even know how someone would even end up there if they wanted to. I think if you're going south you're supposed to stop at the equator for maximum Sun, haha

@@jupitertrucking I was a slow learner about that. I think some brain cells got frozen at some point. You are right. Stop at the equator!

Ain't that the truth! I think Murphy's law was written for trucking, if it isn't one thing it's another. Thanks for the comment and I appreciate you watching!

Grass shack in Hawaii... I'll trade you for a week! Haha. Thank you very much for your support, I'm glad you enjoy the stories. I appreciate you watching! Good luck with your upcoming trip to CA!

I was fr fr freezing!

I loved seeing you too! It was really great to have the schedules work out like that. Thank you for everything and I hope to see you again soon.

That was very nice this worked out. Reminds me of a few times seeing my Uncle

I'm glad you can relate. These are the days we never want to have happen but we talk about it for years afterward. Thank you for watching!

Got ready to leave out last year on a trip and the exhaust elbow came loose under the truck. 🤦‍♂ Had the air valve thing happen a few times over the years.

@@Roger_Rabbit_Adventures it's brutal sometimes, usually even you least expect it.

It can be different at times, for sure. Not as challenging as being a teacher by any means, but it has it's moments. I hope we can see you guys soon! Thank you for checking it out.

Boy I sure hope I don't get to see it all! I'm glad you like the video, thank you for watching!

10-4, take care!

Haha, that's very kind of you. Thank you!

Thank you so much! Comments like yours are encouraging to keep at it, so I truly appreciate it. I'm trying to show what it's really like, at least for me, so what you're seeing is real. Warts and all. Thank you for watching!

@@timothyearp631 that's an interesting thought about the shrapnel, I wonder if there's any possibility to it. As far as Washougal, I never went that way. They cancelled as I was pulling out of the job site delivery in Tualatin, so it worked out ok, no traffic.

@@glindabeaven6805 having someone who's never driven say that can be real frustrating, that's for sure. The job sites are such a mixed bag, someone's it's incredible to see the lack of planning some people put into getting material inside the building. Thanks for watching!

@@MikeHagenhoff thanks man! That means a lot and I appreciate it. Thanks for watching!

@Paws4thot haha I can't believe I missed the opportunity! I use that line constantly. Next time!

You have to say it.

@@KeithWells-un8vf thank you! I really do prefer a SD, and they just look better 😁. Thanks for watching!

@jupitertrucking easier to climb up on to than a flat bed

Yeah buddy, you know that's right lol

Thank you! It's been a great truck, there's no doubt.

@ She gotta name?

No, I can't say that it does. Never been much for naming the trucks, just didn't click with me. We call it Big Red most times, all of my trucks are usually called by their color. Creative, eh?

Haha, that plan works pretty often! I expected to wake up to someone pounding on the door, I was relieved that no one cared that I was there for a few hours. You have to do what you have to do! Thanks for watching!

Yeah if you do dry van you can use that type of excuse and back into Walmart docks or any other business but if you do flatbed or open deck it’s hard

@@jesseofori9840 for real. It's amazing how hard it's become in the last few years

Thank you! I'm glad that my attempt to entertain a little comes through. Thanks for watching!

I super glad that you enjoy them, that means a lot to me, thank you! My intent is to simply show what goes on in my trucking world, not sugar coat it or talk down about it, so hearing that you can relate to the experiences is good to know, it kind of validates the effort. Thanks again

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

@@amieefulk2775 thank you! I should do another. I wish I took more video in the past

I had good help!

Man that sounds amazing. Some loads you just never forget. Thanks for watching!

I'll admit I could've backed off, but they sped up to get in front of me so I didn't want to. No one was hurt.

Aren't you used to my funny shaped body yet?

Yeah, I'm pretty stoked the plan worked out as well as it did this week! It's hard to make money running empty. Thanks for watching!

@Paws4thot it's like there's a different word for everything haha

Nice! It's a good place to used to live 😅

I'm not sure what you're saying or asking

@jupitertrucking99 a chain was on the last pickup with the forks. I didn't know if it was your chain or the company chain. Sorry about the text.

I used all my own chains to secure the load

@@Nomadcreations thank you! The lights were an idea I couldn't believe I'd never seen before, it was so simple. The tarp is for trucks that leak oil. They have to clean the concrete when the job is done, so they do this. That's also why they make trucks stay off of the slab until the one in front is finished before we can pull up. Very true on green lights and truck stops! Thanks for watching!

@@orvh5223 thank you! When I thought of it, I couldn't believe everyone else wasn't doing it. It's been working great for 5-6 years now, super easy to get parts for and maintain. Thanks for checking it out!

@@glindabeaven6805 thank you! They're fun to make, so I'm glad you enjoy them. Thanks for watching!

@@JeffStewart78.. I'm glad you like them! It means a lot. Thanks for watching!

@@allymay.28 thank you Ally! I'm glad you watched it 😁

@@steveburks1872 I'm glad you're enjoying them, thank you for all your support, as always. Love you cuz
