Got a photo? -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

Wow. What a nifty old photo. What is that truck? The cab looks like an old old model Mack. Also what is the URL to the site with those shots please? As a side note I have been around big trucks since I was quite young and remember seeing many of those older rigs in the terminals my father...

Husband comes home from work to find his wife packing her bags. "Where ya going?" he asks. "I hear that hookers in New York are making a thousand dollars a night" she says. He runs off and grabs his suitcase.... "Where do you think you're going?" she demands. "Well," he replies, "I just...

I also now carry a strap. Great for tugging out skids. There is a thread elsewhere on here about pallet grabbers. I'm just too lazy to go hunt the thread down right now. ;) -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

So you really wanna know what was my most 'Interesting' load? OK. You asked for it. A pair of frozen human legs boxed on dry ice on a custom skid. -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

While like many here I would not hesitate to help in some way somebody in genuine need in situations like RichM and FlamerMerc mentioned. However I am sick up to my eyeballs with the scammers just fishing for free money. Here in the Baltimore/DC area you can't go all day without seeing this...

Stick with good quality tires. I have had terrific life out of BF Goodrich Commercial TA's. They are not too expensive if you buy them at a wholesale club like BJ's/Costo/etc. Less than $100 each with tax for the last pair I bought. Over the years on my other trucks I have tried to cheap out...

>Wonder what the pay per mile is in Iraq,and you probably >don't need a CCW permit. Being that all that there work is billed by Haliburton I'd wager the rates are like $38 per mile and all the RPG's you can dodge... -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

Thanks Frank. That is exactly what I needed to know. -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

What is the per diem rate for the 2005 tax year? Also, what qualifies for use of this? I know if I am home or running local for the day I cannot claim the diem but if for example I go on a longer trip that takes me away for two days (overnight one night) can I deduct 2 days worth of diem or...

Mommy! Make the bad men stop! :D -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

My ride is a 3500 Savana cutaway single rear wheel with a 10' box. I fit 3 skids in easily. Most of my floor space is eaten up by that sort of load. My average load is 1-2 skids with weight on average 1200 pounds. As for the type of freight it is various. I've hauled everything from cloth to...

And I found the cheapest pallet grabber yet. I'm using a nylon strap about 15' long I found on the side of I-95 that had the ratchet destroyed from being run over. I tied a loop in one end and the other end has a hook. I just loop the strap either through or around the skid, connect the hook to...

Great. No restrictions. Thanks guys! Since I live here in the east most of the time when you see the word 'Parkway' in the name of a road that nearly always means no trucks. -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

I've got a Visa. MasterCard and Discover too! :D -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

Used to be the Daniel Boone Parkway IIRC. I did a Google on the road and it didn't answer my questions about truck restrictions. -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

I have a run going into Kentucky tomorrow evening and after looking at mapquest it recommends using the Hal Rogers Parkway. Is this a truck restricted road? -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.

Good thought provoking post Tom. I just need to get that yo-yo that drives my truck to give it a bath more often! ;) -- Mike N Faster than a speeding poulet.
