When we drove big truck we would sometimes get ham steak and eggs for breakfast. Either that or beef steak and eggs.
One time I brought load of Colorado potatoes across Wolf Creek Pass. It was snowing coming across the pass. When I got to Flying J Fuel Stop in La Junta it changed to freezing rain and was like that all the way to truck stop in Dodge City.
When I got in there the truck had an inch of ice on leading edges of truck. I parked and went to get a meal. But restaurant was closed. So I went back to truck and went to bed. ;)
I worked for Illinois State Highways starting in 1980. After leaving there I start to drive trucks OTR and did that even after moving to Missouri. At one point I was driving cross country both team and solo.
When they would send me NW for Washington state produce, I would have three or four pick ups and the whole trip would take three days. I brought along electric cooler with food to save on truck stop meals.
One time I picked up a load of Mexican produce in Yuma, AZ. I was heading for Indian casino in NM to take my break. I was on 2 lane road in NM. It was just about dusk. I come around a curve and the headlights fell on a brown object. It was an ELK. I hit brakes and moved as far right as possible without dropping steer tire off pavement. I just missed hitting it.
So I put out a broadcast on CB that there were Elk out here. Some driver comes back and says, "Elk! I haven't seen Elk in a long time."
I told him, "You don't want to see these Elk. They are too close to the road. I almost hit one." LOL
Isn't the law in the US that we're all responsible for stopping in time to keep from hitting somebody in front of us.... under any and all circumstances? (The driver that hit her.)
