your link does not work Larry.

I will, I'll be working for one of the largest lease/rental truck companies in the US. They surprised me with the pay and benefits, not to mention a lot of my former coworkers are now working for them too; one of which will be my coworker again. It'll be a good change for me.

One of the first things I was told was "you never log over 450 miles a day". So I never did, even if I drove from Omaha to Tampa- 450 miles 😁

And how many people say the democrat party died with JFK? A lot, that's how many. I was a kid when he was assassinated but I've also heard a lot of people say that Democrats then were more conservative than Republicans of today.

Congratulation on the job change.. Will you still be in the transportation industry?????

Ever think about putting it up on Bring A Trailer? I’ve heard it can be a lot of work, but it might be the best way to get the price you want. Too big of a glut with anything IH in my area, and often times the $1,500 truck will run just as good.

Same here.. 44 legal years plus a few more before I got my what was then a CDL in 1967. I figure overall about 5 million (+/-)

Well Joey said progressive liberal. That is not not remotely the same thing as a Democrat most old teamsters would identify as. Could you imagine if Dwight Eisenhower arose from the dead and saw the state of the Republican Party? He would most likely rather be dead again.

Congrats on your 20 & 2 Duck! 48 years legally plus some not documented can we say? From OTR to local, what the mileage is l would like to know but never will. And just about all of it chargeable accident free. .....Hippy

I would say in the country, there are a whole lot more people who are center left, that don't like what they are seeing and not "left wing". There are extremest on both side of center, and being on "the other side" doesn't make you an extremest. Too often its "if you don't agree 110% you are the "other side' at 110%, and that just isn't true.

My pop was a teamster and a Democrat but he really didn’t say a whole lot and he really didn’t complain about too much of anything I guess he was kind of a live and let live type of guy

Not sure I think there’s a lot more left wings on here than you realize especially old teamsters … just don’t like to get involved with the cat fights. I am not really a big fan of it myself. Everybody has their own opinion.

It sucks when you can’t unload something I tried to sell mine in a couple of times I couldn’t get any one interested and I had it advertised at a very low price

CCM was another company that used Mack engines Crane Carrier Manufacturing!

I’m really surprised you’ still got that thing. I thought you sold that a long time ago.good luck

off the top of my head, i ccan only think of 2 or 3 members with TDS that would post in an "orange man bad" thread.

20 years............your just a trainee!!🤣 56 years here..with the first 6 in gas powered trucks. cant tell you total miles, but i am at least at 2 million. i tried figuring it out a few years bak but could not remember all the different trucks i drove, most got at least 100,000 miles before being replaced with newer ones.

I don't think there would be much commentary. I highly doubt there are any progressive liberals that frequent or even come to this site. I joined in 2020 and can't recall ever seeing any progressive or liberal ideology cast from a morally or politically correct point of view. If such a thread were created it would most likely just end up being anti Trump memes. My guess is there is no shortage of those to be found. I frequent another forum for a topic that is not trucks or politics. Like here there is an odds and ends section that political discussion is permitted. However, the difference there is memes, GIFS, any type of name calling, and the like are strictly prohibited and enforced. IMO there ends up being much more insightful discussion and commentary there than here.

Not much to add here, but I just recently got a bunch of exhaust pieces from Amazon. Good luck.Bob

Probably not a good example, but my wife used to be a big supporter of Susan g koman but now they skim so much of the top she doesn’t even bother with them anymore… bob

Every body is welcome to their opinion although most of us don’t quite get anything they do on the outside. I do agree with a lot of their free programs, but unfortunately, most of them are abused and there’s too many people at the top of their hands in the kitty.

What’s this thing still doing here??????lol… seems to me removing the cab might make it more appealing for faster sale or maybe not!!!good luck bob

Well, I posted a video on FB last night of it building oil pressure. I am getting closer to making noise. Need to paint second valve cover and get them bolted down. Intake tube from turbo needs painted. Make up fuel line and get some diesel out of the truck. I want to get my other radiator out of the basement again and hooked up so I can run it for a longer time like last summer.
