Finally Made It.
This job was booked for 7 hours, took us 21, the POS truck kept breaking down...... shoulda known when we first seen it.
We get to the job site and pull up beside the truck, before its even loaded and its already steaming out the rad.
then as its loading the cats up it slides out of control coming right at us... we ram it reverse and get the hell out of the way.. He just about wipes out 4 logging trucks as we start to head up hwy 99. theyre all on the radio freaking out.
We get half way up the duffy lake road 15% Incline and he breaks his drive shaft. next 6 hours we spend looking for parts..
next day driver says hes dizzy and wont be able to fix the drive shaft. so Devin fixes it for him. great we think , now hes going to fricken have a stroke or something... we get past lillooet and into litton and the truck starts heating up. look for water he says, this is just like the desert , theres no running streams... , so he calls us back sure enough, hes over heated. we have to go knock on peoples doors for water.. 4 times this happens..... till devin put some bolts in the fan , and made it run manualy, we finaly make it.took us 21 hours to get there..... long day....pictures on photobucket........ im sending this story to a truckers mag....
( i have more pictures of the first part of the trip, but i have to wait till we get home to post them.).
