Flatbed Load Transporting Of A 57 Foot Power Pole

Transporting Of A fifty-seven foot Power Pole I picked this load up out of Fort Worth, Texas. Weighing in at 30,377 lbs. and fifty-seven feet long. Had to get permits for it in the states of Tennessee and Kentucky. Originally it was headed to Shippensburg, Pennslyvania. But because of the winter storm coming into the Northeast, I got rerouted to Hicksville, Ohio. There they…

Tow Truck Driver Shot to Death While Working on Car in Downtown LA – NBC Los Angeles

A tow truck driver working on a stalled vehicle in downtown Los Angeles was shot to death, authorities said Monday.

It happened at about 8:30 p.m. Sunday at 8th and Mateo streets, said Officer A. Delatorre of the Los Angeles Police Department's Operations Center.

A witness heard a shot and found the 26-year-old man bleeding from the neck, Delatorre said.

The witness drove the man to the nearby guard shack at the Los Angeles Times Olympic Printing Plant at 2000 E. 8th St. where the victim was pronounced dead, he said.

No suspect information was available, Delatorre said.

Truck Driver Travels Thousands Of Miles To Find Runaway Dog

The life of a truck driver involves a lot of time on the road. For many, this can be an exciting and adventurous job, until something goes wrong. When a woman named Melissa was driving a truck with her rescue dog by her side, everything seemed positive at first. But then some road work lead to her dog escaping and running down the interstate.

Melissa was thousands of miles from home, so she had no idea how to find the dog and bring her home in a timely manner. Even so, she continued to search for the pup as much as possible.

Runaway Dog

Maybelle the dog, also referred to as Hope by one source, escaped the truck while in New York. They were on a freeway that was shut down. So, when they pulled over, Maybelle made a run for it. The pup is a notorious runner, but Melissa chased her for as long as she could. She searched up and down the freeway, but she was unable to stay in the area for more than one night.

When Melissa realized Maybelle was lost, she was terrified. Melissa lives near the West Coast, so searching for a lost dog on the East Coast was no easy task. However, she never gave up hope and continued searching for the pup online.

Luckily, the same night that Maybelle ran away, the Cortland County SPCA found her. No one claimed the pup right away, so they talked about putting her up for adoption. The shelter staff loved having her around though, and they suspected that she had a loving family looking for her.

“She walked really well on a leash, and she could sit, so I knew she had someone who was teaching her something, paying attention to her, and caring about her,” said Kathi Maxson, a Cortland County SPCA law enforcement officer. “I didn’t want to get too close. It’s too hard to say goodbye sometimes.”

Homeward Bound

Luckily, Melissa soon saw a photo of Maybelle on the Lost Dogs of Finger Lakes Facebook page. Yet, she still had to find a way to make it all the way across the country to pick up her furry friend. Melissa had to make accommodations to travel from Oklahoma to New York to reunite with Maybelle. Luckily, the shelter was happy to assist her through the process.

“It’s been an event, but we made it work,” said Melissa. “I appreciate you guys for taking good care of her.”

Maybelle was overjoyed to see her mom again, and she was also able to reunite with her canine friend, Buddy. The journey to bring Melissa and Maybelle together was not easy, but of course, it was well worth it. No distance can break the bond between a human and their dog.

A Tesla Semi with structural batteries and 620 miles of range is a haymaker against trucking emissions

The Tesla Semi may be requiring a lot of patience among its reservation holders, but it appears that the all-electric Class 8 long-hauler will be well worth the wait. While speaking at the European Battery Conference organized by the Federal Ministry of Economics, Elon Musk remarked that the Tesla Semi will be equipped with a structural battery pack. This, together with other optimizations, should allow the Tesla Semi to have a range of up to 620 miles in the future.

“Getting a range of 500 km is I think, quite easy. And this is assuming a truck that is pulling a load of something in the order of 40 metric tons. So that’s a heavy truck. For long-range trucking, up to, we think, easily 800 kilometers, and we see a path over time, to get to about 1,000 kilometers of range. We think this is going to be extremely competitive and compelling to trucking companies,” Musk said.

The Tesla Semi’s initial range of 300-500 miles per charge is no joke, but it does give the impression that the Class 8 long-hauler is best used for short or medium routes. With a 620-mile range, however, things become very different. Together with its low operating costs, stellar safety systems, as well as built-in driver-assist features like Convoy Mode, the Tesla Semi could very well be a haymaker against the emissions of the trucking industry.

"It should be able to carry the same cargo as a Diesal truck, we think we’ll have less than a 1t load penalty." "It is is just fundamentally a calculation of what’s the energy density of the cell, the pack and the integrated cell and pack chassis."

— Reflex Research (@ReflexFunds) November 24, 2020

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

The trucking industry is among the biggest culprits in the transportation sector’s overall emissions. Following the unveiling of the Tesla Semi back in 2017, the Environmental Defense Fund published a post stating that the transportation sector accounts for 7% of total fine particulate matter globally. Commonly known as soot, particulate matter has been linked to several diseases such as cancer, heart attacks, and strokes. Freight trucks produce nearly half of the transportation sector’s total fine particulate matter.

There is no doubt that a shift to electric trucks would benefit the environment and humanity as a whole. Unfortunately, battery-electric trucks have been constrained by range so far. Even vehicles made by veteran truckers like the eCascadia are only able to travel a measly 250 miles per charge. That makes battery-electric trucks limited in their use, despite their environmental benefits. Even the Tesla Semi’s initial iteration, which was announced with 300-500 miles of range per charge, is not comparable to the range of diesel long-haulers, which are fitted with 200-gallon tanks and are capable of running over 1,000 miles with a full tank.

Things become very different with a battery-electric truck that is capable of traveling 620 miles between charging sessions. In the United States, semi truck drivers are mandated by law to drive no more than 11 hours per day with a 14-hour work day cap before they are required to rest. At highway speeds, this translates to drivers covering about 600-650 miles per shift. Considering Elon Musk’s recent statements about the Semi, it appears that Tesla is improving its Class 8 truck to such a degree that it would be a compelling alternative even to long-range diesel and gas semis.

The trucking market is pretty much dictated by the businesses that are dependent on it. With this in mind, there is a good chance that businesses using trucks for their operations would shift to battery-electric trucks once they offer more advantages compared to their traditional counterparts. In the Tesla Semi’s case, the low operating costs, better performance, and safety improvements are already there. And with 620 miles of range, businesses will likely find very little reason to stick with fossil fuel-powered trucks.

Picked up this load out of Wewoka,Ok. According to paperwork it was carbon steel. weight was 41,256 lbs.

The material had sharp edges all around, so in order to protect my tarps I use padding, that is either moving blankets or smaller pieces of spare tarps that are used as a buffer.

There was five bundles on deck and I used…
