What with Tachoblog being away for most of last week, you’d be forgiven for thinking that there’d be no View From The Cab, but you’d be wrong!

The Tachoblog Tribe have ridden (shouldn’t that be driven?) to your rescue and sent Tachoblog their Views as they do every week – and we’re very grateful that they do.

We start in New Zealand with Vic H who says that ‘We are well into autumn here now, the days are getting shorter and colder but the weather is beautiful. The other day I was returning from the South Island and the sun was just breaking through the mist as I drove across the Whirikino Trestle, a very long bridge built across farmland which is prone to flooding’…

…’Then a short time afterwards near Ohingaiti the leaves on the poplar trees are starting to change to their autumn colours’…

Jerry B (and the Uganda Crew) sent us these Views starting with two from Jerry  ‘Wow, that a thrilling photo I hear you howl, a 40ft box on a flat bed trailer! Don’t see many of those around, after all……..However, as I have told you before, the bus and truck drivers here love a chirpy tag-line on the back of their vehicles and here’s another to add to the burgeoning collection of wit and repartie’…

Jerry B 14

…’I guess this chap was having a bad day when he added this mix of gangsta-rap and pessimism to the back of his flat bed trailer’…

Jerry B 24

…Jerry also sent this View in saying, ‘you may remember the pictures taken around Wau in S.Sudan recently over the top of a Nissan Patrol, of the wet/dry or storm/fine weather interfaces as they rolled in. Well, back in Uganda and though the windscreen of a Land Cruiser (with the side windows done up I imagine, as it was taken by one of our managers Paul Volrath!), this was taken today of a monster bit of ill humour in-coming. This is a drill pad being constructed by us for a client in the west of the country. This will make the old MAN water bowser somewhat redundant just now methinks.’

Back to America now and we join Darkstaff who notes that there’s ‘still snow on the ground in Wyoming’…

…Darkstaff’s next View is of The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument over I-80 in Nebraska.  He says that he’s ‘been told it’s interesting’…

Darkstaff21

…For this View, he originally sent this comment ‘The only tunnel (from NJ to CA) on I-80 in Green’ but then later added ‘Correction on the tunnel pic. This is actually one of three sets of tunnels over it’s 2,900 mile length’…

…Next Darkstaff was in ‘Salt Lake City, Utah’…

Darkstaff4

…And for his final View he shows us the ‘Great Salt Lake in Utah as seen from I-80.’

Meanwhile his brother Heydriver (along with Goldie) had this View from I-476 N (North East Extension of the PA Turnpike) Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania which he called ‘Burning off the fog’…

…He also sent this from ‘Route 301 Plaza, aka Money’s Truck Stop. US Rte 301 Middletown, Delaware. A classic’.

Finally for this week we join TheNose100 in Wheeling, West Virginia where he was ‘parked on street making a delivery’…
