Takes em 20 minutes to muster, then they get all whiny about our wooden bridge.

Even though a low boy and D-7 come across it twice in the last 3 years and dump trucks with 23 T of gravel come across it 3 or 4 times a year.

Cracks me up when a new FedEx guy drives out here with a small box truck.



I have a bridge across the creek on my driveway. Cross-ties on steel I-beams, sitting on concrete abutments. Will hold up practically anything. The company that delivers my diesel and propane had a couple of scaredy cat drivers who would always make me wait on deliveries until their trucks were about empty, which sometimes left me waiting for fuel. I finally called the company and threatened to find another one, if they didn't tell their drivers to grow a set. One driver finally figured out the bridge would hold him, while the other thankfully quit.
