Nice, finished look to these.

I buy them at New Haven equipment. There's come in very nice,almost candy apple like, colors. I actually have one to secure my Terry O' Connell inspired pj tie-downs in place.

If I wanted to work long enough to do a new truck, mine would be similar. One of the basic building blocks would be different.

We have a GarminDezl 760. They have a wireless back up Camera for about $150. It uses the GPS as a monitor. Although I have a back up Camera on top of my box, i may add this to my rear bumper area. If I wire it to my backup lites as a power source, It will automatically power on whenever I...

You haven't noticed the increased readership and larger royalty payments ?

I will donate $100 to the Charity of your choice if Bob will walk around the Expo dressed like that for one hour.

I'm not even going to ask you about the sight you got that picture off of. Some things I'd rather not know . :)

Much worse in a set of doubles/triples. Especially when one or two trls are heavy and you have an empty on the rear. Brake hard enough to stop, but not hard enough to have the last trl come around . Add in the cheapo company practice of putting brake shoes on one side, but leaving the other...

I trained someone that insisted the porti-potty was very full. This made no sense to me. I dropped her at home and the next morning decided to empty it. I put a laundry towel on the table, started to disassemble it and got a bath. It took a few minutes to realize that she had never flushed...

One of my drivers had a buddy take a driving test for a new job. The safety guy wanted to drive first. He hit and a pedestrian on company property and continued on. Upon return he blamed the applicant that drove back in. When I took my roadtest for Watkins the lady complimented my driving...

In the early seventies we needed 8 -10 single axles now to fulfill a 4 year local mail contract we were awarded. Mack had 2 R-Model Maxi-dynes/5 speeds. My father insisted that 5 spd couldn't work. My father bought 2 out of desperation. Within days he returned hoping to get 6 more. He...

I and the others thank you. There is a lot of knowledge to be picked up here. When bs appears it gets shot down pretty quick. I appreciate those that take the time and effort to post informative links. And Ragman for providing comic relief along with some insight.

I'm just a truck driver. Been doing it so long I have a lot of experiences. Nothing to worship, for sure.

Admired me, thanks. Past tense ?

Remember the marry a younger wife advice ?

Bloomington Il. Little bridge on side road west of 55 near the candy company. Customer said turn at a Stop Sign that had been stolen. Got to bridge. It had an S curve to get on it. Trl too long. :eek: Backed up that Mack forever to next intersection. No PS. 2 stick/5 reverse. I'd get...

My first assigned truck was a two stick Mack, camelback suspension. And he says "no cruise !"

We got it good. As recently as the 90's I remember spotting a long trl in Madison Wi and having tears in my eyes. No power steering. Zero grease on 5th wheel. When I pulled out from under the trl I actually had metal shavings on the fifth wheel. Roadway has nowhere near the maintenance program...

Well said. More a state of mind.

Having about 30 yrs in TT parking a straight is a breeze. As long as we're both happy that's all that matters. And being MORE comfortable is one thing that makes me happy..:)
