This is probably one of my favorite pictures I've taken lately!
Check out the eyeballs on the truck window!
This is from the front door at work. I'd been watching the sunrise off & on from my desk, with the intent of getting some pictures. Then it got dark - this truck had pulled up in front of my window and I had to giggle watching the eyes. They blink and look around.
OK, so on 53-foot trailers, the driver has to "slide the tandems" as needed. Basically the 2 sets of tires in back have the ability to be moved forward toward the middle of the trailer for loads, but they need to be all the way back for loading and unloading. That's what this driver was doing - he had to get out and pull a lock pin out of the axle, then get back in the truck and pull forward a couple feet. The tires don't roll for this, so it's pretty loud.
What made it funny was when the eyeballs appeared to squint when the trailer moved.
Thanks, Alan!
Never seen anything like that. Might be spooking having that big truck with the eyeballs coming at you on a deserted road at night!
