NW WA Meet / BS Thread

exactly we just need your tool bro

 

Yes sir. They are cutting open the penstock again to finish up our robotic cleaner/inspection tool.

 

Ive been |-| this close to being hit head on by their trucks 3-4 times now. They're doing close to 50mph+ and not calling out mile markers on the cb...... Just sayin... I come around a corner a few times and they've literally been in my lane with no warning.

 

Good to know I will inform them of their stupidity. As for the CB portion, stupidity runs deep at Scl. We don't have them in our trucks.

 

My crew just rolled in and I informed them. Of course they say it isn't them but they will pass it on to the other Scl crews out there. Can you tell me what they are driving?

 

There's only one outfit that I know of that drives bumble bee yellow dump trucks, besides scarscella but these where definitely scl trucks. If I wasn't more concerned with finding a way out, I would have been looking at the truck number on the fender to narrow it down. Definitely a scl color peterbilt standard 12yrd with no drop axle, not pickups.

Afaik scl doesn't even have permission to exit to Snoqualmie mainline, only via Kelly road gate.

 

Well that narrows it done. I will inform those folks tomorrow morning.

 

I mean, I'm not trying to be a bitch, but they're ultimately compromising mine and others safety at this point. I'm also not the only one to experience an encounter with these certain scl trucks. A couple other guys I work with brought it up, and I know others that work in that tree farm outside our company will say the same.

You just so happen to be the only contact I know within, maybe a PM would have been better.

Only reason I can see them taking the mainline south is that there's only one gate and it's always open before 4pm. Otherwise the Kelly Rd route has 3-5 gates that they need to stop for. mainline rt saves time for sure, especially when you're doing 50mph vs 35 or even 25 in some spots. I've been on the Kelly road rt before.

 

It's all good they need to slow the fuck down. Most of those guys don't realize that we don't own those roads or the surrounding area outside of the watershed.

 

You can put me on the list of guys that have had the pleasure of meeting them. They wen't on my side, but they were moving at a high rate of fuel consumption.

 

My mantra... Fuel is free for a company driver.

 

Hey looking to get firestik2 antenna this weekend anyone have thoughts on best place to mount it.

 

I'm a big fan of the hood hinge mount combined with a quick disconnect

 

I was too until Moab when 4' firestik would slap the passenger side windshield...

 

(I just got the drivers side tailgate mount yesterday)

or

CBI (If you get both sides, I am looking for the passenger side and gladly split the cost with ya, install is maybe 30 minutes)

 

I thought about front hood also but I was thinking about it hitting my windshield. So I hope this is not a stupid question but do you get 2 antennas One for each side any case I would split the difference with you

 

Sorry I’m not real hip on this stuff still learning

 

I've never had it hit my windshield...

The two antennae thing is used by semi trucks sometimes, makes the radio directional.

 

@Juforrest ditch light mount but you might be SOL with the 1st Gen
