Today we installed the new refreshed company logo on the Mack to reflect our current logo on our fleet.

I'm hauling the wrong plants!!

Wow that a real show truck ! Would love to have one in my fleet

Your wright that's what I did have my sister picking me up, she lives in Pompano fl only 40 min away of where I was stranded. From there I spent time with here at home have some family time discuss our family situation around my uncles and picked up the truck in the morning. Thru most guys now at FHP now play mister big shot since they are now FL DOT and feel superior. Any way I'm going to fight this tooth to nail.

Happy birthday guys!

The prick wanted arrested me for leaving my truck after he told me to go to exit 116. He started to move the police car so I thought we are going. He stopped and I'm waiting to get the go. After 5 min I stepped out of the truck to asking him if I need to drive now to exit 116 when he shouted I told you to stay in your truck or I will arrest you. Ooh and he told me that if I would leave exit 116 and I was stopped again I would go to jail!! Like I'm some fuc....King criminal. I have a clean record no arrest or issues and still they treed you like your robbed a bank. Now I learned that using a mobile device in a commercial vehicle would be a ticket. However if I'm transporting the truck non commercial I can call and use my phone but can not text and drive. So if I can proof that I was not commercial on the road they have to drop the $500 using my phone, I do not need signs on the truck and not subject to the logbook rule. So I'm planing to get the invoice for the truck my dealer plate and I should be free and clear. Let me know if any has any thoughts on this.

Got a black one! Tell her it's dark dark blue!!

Nice looking truck, lot of safe miles with it.!

Wow those models are looking so real it's almost time to do a DOT inspection! Wow guys pose some more picture of truck already build!

Happy birth day! Ken

Randy kinda miss you being around in our yard! Hope you making some $$$$$.

We'll to drive out of them it looks like climing a mountain.:0) LOL

I think daughters would be cool. Hopefully they continue the trucking when you are ready to slow down one day. But it's nice to see a a proud father.

Thanks yes I will make time for this and have the resources to fight this. I just hope the justice system is used fair. The good thing is I have a clean record on my Class A CDL.

Happy 4th of July Ken.

Here is how other cops think of FHP. Florida State trooper hated by cops for pulling over Miami cop doing 120mph finds her cruiser covered in human feces

I agree with the plate, but i picked up the unit 250 miles from our office so are we still required a log book then?. I even try to show the guy the pick up order and address in Florida but still told me needed a log book because the truck crossed state lines. True it becomes clear its all about the money. Found out yesterday that it was hunting season on the FL Turnpike on commercial trucks. Now he put me out of service and summit me to go to the next exit 116 south on the turn pike and stay at the toll plaza because it has a restroom. Yes great but no food. He could have let me go an additional 23 miles 23 min drive to the West Palm beach travel plaza. Of course i did not have any thing to eat with me for such sort trip and find that inhuman.

Thanks guys! What is the next thing having to coast guard checking commercial vehicles!!!! Now I understand the letters FHP " florida haresment patrol "

It's all about money now these days. Protect and serve. What I got is a arrogant prick with a badge to piss you off and take your hard earned money.

Today it was not a happy day. . Here the story I drove to Gainesville to pick up a new truck that was delivered at Volvo/Mack dealer in Gainesville fl from Nashville TN. So put my plate on the truck and hit south on the turnpike. Stop at the rest area in ft pierce to buy a coffee. Pulling out I see a trooper (now DOT in florida) writhing up a ticket on a car carrier. In the mean time pulling out the parking my phone rings my wife to tell me my uncle passed away today. I put the phone down and get on the turnpike. After driving for a half hour I see a trooper with lights on coming up behind me. So I stopped. The fucki..Ng trooper tells me he saw me on the phone while driving and ask my papers. Here it comes he write my a $500 ticket for using my cell phone, $50 for not having our name on the door. (Even I'm tractor only ) and then ask me for my logbook. I tell the men I don't have one I just driving the truck to our dealer ship . Where did the the truck come from and answered Nashville but picked it up at Gainesville so kaboom $100 fine and put me 10 hours out of service 1 hour from our dealership. So $650,- later in fines I told the men my situation, that the truck is not operating commercially but in transit and get as answer that if the truck crosses state line and I have a apportioned plate on the truck I'm under commercial interstate DOT law. We'll sorry needed to vent I guess I have to fight it in court.

Wow, got the cop by the balls there !!

If the truck is from Iran it's nuclear powered!

Yep covers got to go! Also more pics please!
