Dirt Trucks

 Loud pipes nothing.
I have a REAL problem with dirt and dry cement haulers at 65 mph. I can tell
if there's one a mile or two a head of me.
Yet, there are supposed to be laws that the trucks are supposed to be tarped
when loaded.

And don't get me started on open garbage trucks.

I was behind one of those suckers a couple of days ago. Dirt/gravel
everywhere.

Talk about road rage.  :-(

If you know that gravel trucks or cement trucks (or whatever) use a
certain route, either accept the stinging sand in the air or give up
and use a different route, because the trucks are commercial trucks
and they are going to keep right on using the same route and they are
inevitably going to shower you with grit and dust.

How would you like to follow a rolling kitty litter box down the road
for miles and miles?

I used to load ash trucks at a sewage treatment plant and we had a
water nozzle in the chute coming down from the hopper. It was
wastewater coming from the clarifiers, and by the time the wastewater
had soaked into the ash the truck was hauling what smelled like a
giant kitty litter box.

The sludge ash wasn't always completely burned, and adding water to
that stuff turned it back into stinky sludge.

Our contract specified a certain maximum percentage of water, as the
customer didn't want to pay for water, he wanted the ash to make
bricks.

The water nozzle didn't always work right, sometimes there was a layer
of mud in the bottom of the truck, so one driver got the idea that he
would line the bottom of his trailer with plastic sheet.

I didn't realize the driver was up in the trailer laying down plastic
when I started dumping ash in on top of him and he came scrambling
out.

But, sometimes the water nozzle didn't work at all, and we lost the
contract with one company after loading a few trucks with dry ash...
