Tachoblog

We thought last week’s View From The Cab was good – and it was – but this week’s look through the Tachoblog Tribe’s windscreens might be even better!  Have a look and tell us what you think.

We’ve got loads of Views to get through in this week’s View From The Cab.  We’ll be going to several places in America as well as to Ireland, Australia and Wales.  And we’ll be welcoming a new member to the Tachoblog Tribe too.

So let’s get started.

We begin at the Flyin J in Tucumcari, New Mexico with DriverChrisMc.  He says, ‘not sure why but I always have to take a picture of that mountain. Every time’…

…’New Mexico mountains across from the pilot in Jamestown’…

Now click below for more from DriverChrisMc and the rest of this week’s View From The Cab…

DriverChrisMc next View is ‘from the Petro in Shreveport, Louisiana’…

…Finally he gives us two Views of ‘Wyoming clouds at sunset’.   First up is the original picture…

…And then the edited shot.

Now View From The Cab heads to South West Ireland as we catch up with Bigrig480.

‘Here’s a pic from the Castleisland / Boherbue road in the glorious sun’…

…’This is the coastline near Ballybunion, Co.Kerry’…

…’An evening shot of two boats passing in the river Lee in Cork City’…

His last View From The Cab is ‘a sunset shot of the Observatory at the marina Cork City’.

Back to America now as we welcome KevinOfMI to the Tachoblog Tribe.   Here he is ‘on the Western Maryland Rail Trail near Hancock, Maryland. I stash my bike in the truck + stop there often’.

TwoCrowsDown was doing some ‘dirt track driving at night in the Pilbara, Western Australia’.

 

In Arizona AZVern could see an ‘oversize load negotiating turn from Arizona 85 North to Arizona 238, Gila Bend’…

…Then a ‘random commercial vehicle inspection and scale, southbound AZ 85, approx. mile marker 130′…

…Finally he sent this View of a ‘Crop duster, MM 110, eastbound I-8, Gila Bend’.

Next on View From The Cab we join Jayceebigrig at ‘Flint Bridge again’…

…This one’s from Rhyl in Wales’…

…Here he is ‘coming out of Rhyl’…

…And his last View is of ‘Porthmadog Church’.

Back over to America now where we catch up for the first time in a little while with Amishtrucker – who still needs a new windscreen!    He says that ‘it is wildflower season in Texas. Roadsides, medians and whole fields are covered with flowers such as the bluebonnet, Indian paintbrush and other flowers.

‘This was taken along Texas 111 near Yoakum, Texas and shows a herd of cattle grazing in a field filled with bluebonnets’…

…’FM 966 near Shiner, Texas. You can see some of the varieties of flowers blooming along the roadsides. These are just two spots. You can drive for hundreds of miles around southern and central Texas right now and see flowers everywhere’…

…’I passed this wide load on Westheimer Road in west Houston yesterday. According to the signs on the truck, they haul cable and rigging for oilfields’.

Our last Views for this week are from Darkstaff who ‘watched this poor driver get pulled over by this ‘soccer mom’ with a badge’…

…’Followed shortly by this fender bender on US 11/15 in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. Lots of police activity lately. Must be spring’…

…’Then, on Tuesday night, I got to see the police up close and personal! I went through a stop sign and got myself a $111.00 fine. No points on my license though’ [We're glad about the lack of points says Tachoblog]…

…’A gorgeous sunset while unloading in Greencastle, Pennsylvania last night’…

…’And finally for this week, here I am unloading at night. We have to pull into the bay so our hoses will reach correctly’.

So did you think this week’s View From The Cab was better than last week’s?

Tachoblog can’t decide – both posts have been great.

Our thanks to the Tachoblog Tribe for sending in their Views.  Wonder if we can have an even better post next week?

Would you like to be part of that – or any other View From The Cab?  If you’re a driver then you’re welcome to join in.

All you have to do is is email your View(s) to vftc@tachoblog.com or send a tweet starting #vftc to @tachoblog, or post them on Tachoblog’s Facebook Wall.   Please remember include a line or two of text that says, if nothing else, where the picture was taken.
