That’s dangerous. Pretending that you’re flying a airplane. That’s distractive driving, self induced. I guess it’s okay though. We have people that pretend that they’re actually a qualified............!! Fill in the blank.
Wish you had tried a little harder, you may have came up to my expectations.

This old hill out east much bigger than that rice hill you use to pucker up coming down on in dry weather driver,, you ain’t even been to these parts where we got to think of things to take the edge off the task of driving down that windy cabbage hill,, they ain’t selling coffee mugs at the bottom of rice hill saying “I survived” like they doing at the bottom of Cabbage,,
Ain’t got no idea the struggles flatlander
Hahahaha. You made my day. These mole hills around here are just that. Now I was running Boise for awhile. I’ve done Cabbage a few times.This old hill out east much bigger than that rice hill you use to pucker up coming down on in dry weather driver,, you ain’t even been to these parts where we got to think of things to take the edge off the task of driving down that windy cabbage hill,, they ain’t selling coffee mugs at the bottom of rice hill saying “I survived” like they doing at the bottom of Cabbage,,

I have been up it a few times back in the early 90"s , I was going up and had a fan belt break , I had no choice but to continue up to the top ( I was actually was out of route)Yep Billy, you're right, us flatlanders can't stand the pressure.
But just in case, you start up Old Fancy Gap on US 52 N. of Cana va. you may want to put your old WC 22 White or A50 Mack in 1st gear, lock the throttle open and step out on the fuel tank, just in case a cylinder misfires, you could roll back down and wind up in the "Hennis Hole" it was named for Hennis Freight Lines of Winston Salem N. C.
They had 3 trucks in the hole at one time, recovery was more then the truck valvues, the wrecks were left down the hole, they were a good wakeup call, just look down and see them made you think.
Now coming down, was a different story, the mountain made fog, in 1972, 8 drivers were killed in 6 mos. less than 100 ft. apart, in seperate accidents.
Most drivers today talk about the Gap, have never seen the real gap, southbound trucks have been banned since I-77 opened years ago.
Yep, Billy we'll just stick to our flat lands, we know our place.
‘Lice’ Hill...as we Oregonians call it, is just that: a hill. The Siskiyou’s in December is quite fun. Both sides.This old hill out east much bigger than that rice hill you use to pucker up coming down on in dry weather driver,, you ain’t even been to these parts where we got to think of things to take the edge off the task of driving down that windy cabbage hill,, they ain’t selling coffee mugs at the bottom of rice hill saying “I survived” like they doing at the bottom of Cabbage,,

The 8 ton ban has been in place longer than 2016, it started when I-77 opened, don't recall what year.https://www.thecarrollnews.com/news...ccident-temporarily-blocks-fancy-gap-mountain
From 2016.......has a 8 ton limit,I did not know that.
I have been up it a few times back in the early 90"s , I was going up and had a fan belt break , I had no choice but to continue up to the top ( I was actually was out of route)
After it seemed like every warning light that was in the dash was on , I made it to the top. I pulled over called in they said let it cool down and try to get it back in. I still had over 100 miles to get back to the terminal.
Amazing it didn't hurt the engine. They put a new belt on and I drove it the next night.

Driving is no gravy train but back in those days it was a rough life.
They overhired. Now the ELD hype is over and too many people not enough work.Never this slow usually starts to be slow around January February but always been busy threw Christmas got us down to taking a day off a week
I always wondered why they banned trucks on that end of 52 thanks for the history lesson.Yep Billy, you're right, us flatlanders can't stand the pressure.
