Paul Harvey died at age 90.

ATeam, please proof read Turtle's post. Turtle, please proof read ATeam's post. One of you misspelled a word and the other omitted a word. Poke Salad Annie; grammar Nazis got your granny.

Oh! It just sounded like something that crackhead Moot would post.

Hey what kind of subversive commie crap is that?

Ooops! My mistake. You're right. Angels have more important things to tend to than roll-up doors. I do know for a fact that Euclid had a guardian angle.

Excellent!

What are the odds that a specific driver would be nearby and available to service that particular customer when a load comes up?

Unless that last load was two weeks ago, don't complain. And don't leave your wallet unattended in Brooklyn!

Yea, that's real close. Just below the track shaped head, the handle is built-up steel to accept the driving force of the hammer. A door roller will not spin nearly as easily or free as a wheel or shaft bearing. If the track isn't dinged up, slap in the new roller, give it a shot of light oil...

Thanks mj. You nailed it!

Slo, its a humor. Re-read the entire thread and then key in on: adding the third axle in front.

So you're saying you never got fingerprinted by the military until you got your Top Secret clearance? After reading your posts and your screen name I have come to the conclusion that you have watched one too many documentaries.

Are you sure the roller is the problem? Check to see if the track is dinged, bent or kinked. If so there is a tool to straighten the track. I don't know the proper name for this tool. Picture a hammer handle with a solid metal piece, beveled and shaped to fit inside the track. This tool is...

While not an expedite smell, it is a smell of my very early days in trucking. In fact I got my first whiff the day I passed my class A road test. I hauled a load of corrugated boxes from a plant in St. Cloud, MN to Jeno's Frozen Pizza in Duluth, MN. I also had trouble backing into the docks...

In my LTL days I ran a nightly linehaul meet and turn. Roger, a driver I often ran with and I were talking one night. Turns out we had both done some potato hauling in the past. We exchanged potato stories while we rolled down the road. I told him about being parked outside a frozen potato...

Never Stand Still: A History Of CNF Transportation Inc. Written by Kenneth D. Durr and Philip L. Cantelon. This is an interesting book that not only showcases the history of CNF (now ConWay) but depicts the history of the trucking industry and truck manufacturing in America.

I came upon the aftermath of a wreck involving a dump truck with its box up that hit a bridge. The impact tore the box from the truck forcing the cab up and into the underside of the bridge. The cab was crushed, killing the driver.

But Ford doesn't make class 7 or 8 trucks anymore. The "L" series was sold to Daimler and rebranded as Sterling. Sterling was an independent truck manufacturing until White bought the company in the 1950's along with Freightliner and others. White discontinued using the Sterling name and...

YouTube - Trucks vs. Bridge full version My son sent me this link. Many of the "victims" appear to be rental or leased trucks.
