Oversize load and a ride along

 One day on my way to work I got behind a couple semis hauling oversize loads. Whatever it was they were hauling was tall and narrow. They kept moving over to the other lane and I couldn't figure out why they were doing that. Then it occurred to me that they were trying to avoid low branches and anything else that might hit the top of their cargo.



Another day on my way home I propped my phone up and turned on the video. This is over 4 minutes long and not real exciting but if you feel like driving along with me a bit you can watch

  2. The sky was pretty on your drive home. But rats, you stopped the video before you got home! It makes me a wreck (pun intended) to drive behind tall big semis like this. But at least better than being in front of them!

  3. If this were a movie, we could name it "The Long Ride Home". ha ha. I did see a few houses and a couple of pedestrians, so you are not out there all alone... not a lot of traffic so that is good

  4. Your area looks similar to mine, as the landscape is also flat and there are only a couple of houses scattered here and there.

  6. You sure had a nice view on your drive home...I could hear the sweet sound of music for your enjoyment. I often wonder what these big trucks are hauling...most of time in our area, it's oil rig equipment.

  9. Looks the same here. Lots of roads and little traffic. I love those kinds of drives where three cars on the road is considered traffic!
