Tachoblog’s View From The Cab – 5.2.10
Here we are with this week’s View From The Cab. Once again the Tachoblog Tribe have been sending in their Views for which Tachoblog is very grateful – after all, without their Views this post would be a non-starter!
Tachoblog’s also delighted to say – and you’ll be able to see – that several long-standing members of the Tribe have sent in Views this week. We’re really pleased to have them back.
Let’s start with DriverGeoff who sent this ‘from the captains chair of my big White Volvo Travel Centers of America’ on State Highway 33 in Gustine, California.
Click below for the rest of this week’s Views…
Billy J White was ‘lined up at the truck wash in Eaton, Ohio’
TheNose100 was in Dunkirk, New York and ‘In a Sterling Day cab today. Cookies will be made from our fructose load. Backed in and ready to unload’…
…This is a View of the Sterling which he’s using as his ‘Freightliner is in the shop for a leafspring – Driverside steer broke.’
Over in New Zealand, Vic H sent us ‘a bit of a mixed bag this week…Firstly a line-up of milk tankers at Fonterra’s dairy factory in Kauri, Northland where I was making a delivery. Fonterra has a huge fleet of Scania, Volvo and Foden Alpha tankers, all 8-wheeler trucks towing 4-axle trailers’…
…’Then a waterfall seen from the Taupo-Napier road, when I was driving down to pick up a load of wine from Esk Valley Estate near Napier’…
…Lastly from Vic H, ‘this photo shows the view from the Esk Valley winery looking over towards the east coast.’
Amishtrucker says it’s a ’sort of a rainy week here in Texas. So I only have rainy photos!’ Here he is ‘driving along Texas 111 in Jackson County and looking at bar ditches full of water. The road was not flooded anywhere but ditches, creeks and rivers are all full in south Texas’…
…Then he’s ‘passing a Swift truck on Highway 59 in Jackson County looking at the Loves Truck Stop in Edna there on the left.’
We catch up with SurfingTrucker ‘behind the wheel of command central, being unloaded’ in Worcester, Massachusetts…
…He says ”morning delivery underway – kinda crowded’…
…And adds ‘I need to blind side in every morning – no big deal.’
Lastly for this week Rainerri1967 sent us this View from Strasbourg, France. He has just this one load to do and then it’s his weekend…
…This is that load, but can anyone tell us what it is?
That’s it for this week, don’t forget that you’re welcome to join in too. Just email your Views to vftc@tachoblog.com or send a tweet starting #vftc to @tachoblog
