other dog

Old one...very old-why does Roadway paint the fenders blue? ...so the drivers know which end goes under the trailer. my favorite- why did the big R driver leave his wife? ...because he came home and found her sitting on a Trash Can, eating a Cornflake, with a P.I.E. in each hand.

I'm sure everyone has their own opinion.

Amen brother! (bulldogman) John P. Hughes Motor Co. in Lynchburg, Va. was one of the oldest Chrysler dealerships in the country. They sold new and used cars, big trucks, and were Cummins certified as well. They lost the Chrysler dealership, but fortunately they are still in business selling used cars and trucks.

no...we do not.

changing the subject slightly- here's some pictures- this is 4 pieces of steel, 10,000 lbs. each, that I picked up in Masury, Ohio and delivered to Craneworks in Pamplin, Va. An orange truck. My comments- "what's this Schneider truck doing in here?" "Oh- keeping with the vegetable theme, this is the pumpkin?" A yellow truck- my comments- "wtf is this, a bulldozer?"..."no, it's a short bus" "oh- keeping with the vegetable theme, this is a squash?"

"Yeah...I guess so" said the new priest.

damn, this just p!$$#$ me off- we need somebody that has a clue about the way of the world, whether it's Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, or somebody else- tax and spend, spend, spend some more just ain't gonna do it. "I want $450 billion to 'create' jobs...then everything will be fine-trust me". What a bunch of bull!

Again, you're absolutely right- the old story, tax the rich man who builds custom luxury yachts, he's rich, he can afford it. Then "hmmmm...why should I keep building these luxury yachts for other rich people, there's no profit in it anymore after I pay taxes, and I didn't get rich by being stupid- i'll just fire my 53 employees and retire." Then there's 53 people out of a job who apply for unemployment- and who pays for that?

that's what i'm wondering- who's gonna pay for all this shit he's talking about- no, wait, I know the "who"- it's the "how" I wonder about. And it's the ones that don't do a f@$#!^g thing in the first place that are all for it and cheering every word.

and don't drink and drive- no telling how much beer was spilled in this video!

accurate?..in that case, better ask for David, or Bollweevil, or Paul, or anybody but other dog.

I'm in too!

free advice, call any time, ask for Rob.

Maybe Larry will help you install a full roll cage, always wear a helmet, and you should be fine.

yes it would Bob, but i'd probably have to sell the place to afford it, then I wouldn't have a driveway. If the camper trailer was included that could work though, I could just become a nomad.

and union greed is a big part of the problem. The teachers union is so strong it's almost impossible to get rid of bad teachers, the U.S.Postal Service is about to go bankrupt because of former union contracts, i've mentioned before the dozens of trucking companies unions put out of business, and go to any union steel mill and try to pick up a load and see how long it takes vs. a non-union mill. I'm not anti-union at all, but enough is enough. People just seem to expect more and more and more for doing less and less. How can it possibly help a company stay in business and create jobs if they have to pay workers for doing absolutely nothing- "my machine's down- I could push that 'reset' button and fix it, but that's not my job. I'll have to call maintenance to come push that button. They're on the other side of the plant changing a light bulb right now, then they get a 15 minute break, then they'll be over to push the button and i'll be back in business. Meanwhile, i'll go take a dump and read the paper."

This would look good in Rob's driveway http://barrie.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-classic-cars-1957-B61-RV-Towing-Unit-W0QQAdIdZ277714659

Yes, it is normal to have to ease off the clutch a little when sitting still then push it all the way down to get it in gear. The clutch brake stops everything and the gears might not be lined up until you ease off it a little.Just don't push the pedal all the way to the floor when you're moving, or the clutch brake will last about as long as Pat stayed in the army.

now that's an ideer! "we have these pocket knives on sale,today only! only $27,532.16! if you're interested in a short term loan, just sign these documents right there on the dotted line!"

Yes, even I...onced changed the oil in my hot rod '72 Nova. Used that expensine Union 76 racing oil, I worked at a 76 station, and dumped 5 quarts in before I realized i'd never put the drain plug back in.

"Good" truckstops are nearly impossible to find anymore. I used to like to stop at Pharoah's on 81 in Pa.- i'd go out of my way to stop there, good home cooked food, no instant anything, no frozen anything, a 16 oz. t-bone was around $7.00 (ok,so it's been a while), and the waitresses all wore very short skirts...very short. Then it was sold, then it sucked, now it's closed. All truckstops cater to now is tourists and 4 wheelers. They want trucks to come in and buy $800 worth of diesel fuel, spend some money, then get the hell out. I was waiting at the Pilot for the fuel desk girl to turn the pump on, but she had to wait on all the tourists lined up to buy Dr. Peppers and Doritos first, so I left- and the low fuel light was on when I got there. The old 76 Truckstops used to have a section in the restaurant reserved for truck drivers, and the sign said they would be served first, 'cause they gotta go. Don't see anything like that anymore either. It's all fast food and tourists.

I haven't been over that way in a while, but if I had to go northeast i'd usually stop at the 98 because there was always plenty of parking space. I'd usually walk over to Burger King and get something to eat, then take a nap until the D.C traffic cleared some, then get up and go in the store for a Red Bull before I hit the road. Remember Big John Trimble? He used to broadcast the first trucking show on radio on WRVA 1140 from Jarrell's truckstop, before Bozo or any of the others. He was the first I remember anyway.
