These Trucks Usually Come From The West On I-70 & Take HWY75 North. I Was On My Way To
Work When I Saw This One Going East Pass The Exit At Gage To HWY75 North As I've Seen Them
Do Over The Years. You Can't Miss These Big Trucks. Being Stuck Behind It, I Fallowed It And Saw It
Nearly Get Off  At MacVicar Only To Swerve Back Onto The Road From The The Off Ramp Barely
Missing The Grassy Median & Continued On East,
On A Hunch, Since I Just Happened To Have A Film Camera On Me, I Passed The Truck & I Went To
The 1st Street Exit & Waited By Ryders Truck Rental Hoping For Good Pictures. Sure Enough,
Minutes Later The Lead Escort Vehicle Came Down The Ramp And The Prop Truck Wasn't Far
Behind, The Driver Skillfully Made A Left Turn At 1st & Polk  & Rubbing The South Curb With Its Front
Tire During The Turn.  In The Process Trying To Make The Next Near U-Turn Back West Up The
Ramp To I-70 West, The Rig Ended Up In The Grass By The Fence On The North Side Of The
Intersection And The Rear Wheels Of The Trailer On The Median Under The Bridge On The South
Side Of The Intersection. Meanwhile, I Got Some Dirty Stares From The Truck Crew While I Took
Photos.
The Traffic In The Area Was Backed Up All The Way East To Topeka Blvd And All The Way West To
Taylor. I Guess That's What They call "Gridlock" I Gave A Business Card To The Trailing Escort
Vehicle Driver After He Initiated A Brief Staring Match, He Seemed To Offended By My Networking
Gesture. Meanwhile A Sign Had To Be Removed By Some Men Working With Some Tractors Under
The Bridge Which Allowed The Prop Carrying Truck To Complete The U-turn And Continue Up The On
Ramp & Back West. If I Didn't Need To Go To Work, I Would Have Went To The I-70 West To North
Hwy75 Turnoff To See If It Made That Turn. I Haven't Seen Any More Of These Trucks In That Area
Since Then.
