Driving A Dually

[crokett]

Is fun, but I have to remember two things...

4 tires give better traction than 2 and won't slip nearly as much in the mud when you expect them to. Don't drink coffee until you are actually moving.

There is an extra 8" or so of car on each side that you can't see unless you look in the mirrors. It makes it interesting to back down a narrow driveway.

So how much were you towing? And what truck was it?

A new shop, Driving a dually, looking at 8ft table saws, 3000 dies conveniently

Are you sure you aren't one of those AIG bonus babies?

I think that you may be mixing up 2 different forum members - Crokett and Crockett. Crockett just posted about the dead motor on his BT. Crokett is getting the new shop.

Crokett is from NC with a Buffalo Bills logo.
Crockett is from Buffalo with a NY state flag? logo.

Odd coincidence?

I guess it depends on your perspective and what you drive normally.



BTW the LOML says try it with a band on the trailer.

I run heavy equipment so I was thinking of posting something similar to Mark. Sometimes I thing I spend more time in class getting tickets for everything at work than I spend operating.

He is from Buffalo? Wow. I swear we are different people. I grew up in NY state, yes but quite a bit south of Buffalo. I lived across the Hudson River from Poughkeepsie. I could see the lights from the mall from my bedroom window.

Alex, today I was towing a 14' flatbed with part of my new shop on it. I will have more of the shop on it tomorrow.

Oh, and Mark... longest vehicle I ever drove was a 16' moving van with a 14' trailer attached. I'm guessing that is about as long as one of your trailers.

I want pics of the new shop and the stuff on a trailer.

And Mark, playing on a trailer would be really really cool. Take off the hay bales and it could be a cool concert. That gives me bad ideas....

And the longest vehicle I've driven is a 19' overall pickup... stupid ford torque converter sucks though because if you are on any bit of a hill it loves to roll back like a stick shift. Gotta hit the gas fast.

Yup

My keen powers of observation, plumb evaded me again. And once again one of my clever and witty posts leaves me with egg on my face.

And even after you pointed out the obvious, it took me a minute to realize that by da** there are two crocks of some sort or the other.

Oh well
