I've bought a new camera, and have started taking pictures of America to remember where I have been and what I've seen. Sorry for the lack of titties, nobody flashes me.   This is really a real logo for a trucking company. Some of you might have seen something like it a long time ago. Guess it and win a prize Prize may or may not be nothing  Holset? More like HOLESHOT!    WELCOME TO EARF!   You ain't gonna see this working in a cube-farm.  Two hours down the road and it turns to this.  Maybe I should get off here?   Naw, maybe here?   gently caress NO, RIGHT HERE!   I don't really understand this....    Anyone care to guess this?  Guess where this is, then try and figure out what the gently caress I was doing there with a '53 trailer.  I wanna go for a swim.  Care to guess?  This thing lights up and buzzes when they are ready to unload you.   UNRGY UNRGY IPPOS    Had to follow this circus for awhile.  Yeah, those are two tractors for each item.  I wonder how much NO MERCI saved shipping that car on an open parkinglot....   MR GIBBS! Bring me that Horizon!  Any requests?

I have always wanted to be a truck driver, too bad my lazy eye makes it pretty hard to get a class A CDL. Neat pictures, keep em coming.

This is a Harrier, but your image name gave it away.

Was the Harrier picture taken near Yuma, AZ by any chance?

The sticker with the asses on the back of that dump truck reads "For the best cowboy. the best livestock" What the gently caress?

Yeap, it's the narrows, headed up to Port Townsand and hauled a load of paper out of there. Harrier, Yuma, also taken at Johnson Controls, one of the few battery makers in the USA. I'll work on the lizards, you sick horny fucks.

That Costco thing is pretty awesome, it looks like it's just a restaurant waiting area buzzer. I wish they had that when I was in and out of the back of Costco twice weekly Could you get some pictures of some of the more awesome (and least awesome) truck stops? I see them on TV and some of them just boggle my mind. All we have around here are old style roadhouses, some of which are over 100 years old.

Thanks for sharing the Pics Interceptor, they are lovely! I always new those restaurant pagers would be useful for more serious things. On a side note, how much trouble do you have with your tractor?

Right now my AC is broken, batteries are packed in, electrical system has issues, which as you can see above causes that. No, VTEC did not just kick in Yo! 83,000 miles.

Oh man, I'm sorry I make a point to get the gently caress out of there as soon as possible if I'm even driving through. That place is a hellhole, yet inexplicably last time I drove through there was a lot of new development.

I recognized most of the pictures that you took in Texas. I've always kind of laughed when I would drive by Welfare. The Jesus Is Lord Travel Center looks like the one outside of Amarillo on I-40. Is that where you saw it?

Yup, we are rebuilding parts of the canal to feed the farmers here. And cabbage/lettuce whatever it is they farm here smells like poo poo. This whole town LITERALLY smells like poo poo. Good thing I am most likely getting transferred to San Diego before the year is up. Bonus pic of I-8 crossing the canal and our office. (click for huge)

redscare posted:How long ago was this I've been through Yuma on roughly an annual or semi-annual basis for as long as I can remember, being the main gateway between Phoenix and San Diego...I first noticed new development there probably around '06 and it was continuing last time I was through which was either late '07 or early '08. I'm sure with the recession it has promptly halted.

Is that Earth, TX? My family owns an ancient drive-in restaurant there. I'm still always shocked when someone mentions it and it's still open and doing business. Earth was always pretty desolate seeming when I visited.

I'm pretty sure thats the cold side, but diesel exhaust doesn't really get to the same temps that a gasoline engines exhaust does even under full load.

AirRaid posted:Would this not be a by-product of the fertilizer used rather than the crop produced? Its both. When they harvest a ton of material gets left over to just rot and be turned back into the soil. Oh and the town is 55% old people in their motor homes and the pumping facilities around here suck. So there are abundant overflows/spills of raw old people poo poo. InterceptorV8 posted:K-P? K-P indeed.
