you're as picky as Rowdy...i'll be back.

30 seconds earlier...

well, it's like everything else in that it has it's good and bad points.I'd rather do it than sit all day at a grocery warehouse waiting to unload all day where you have to do it yourself or pay a lumper. Sometimes you load and unload quickly, have no-tarp loads, and everything's lovely.

don't forget sitting all day waiting to unload at some jobsite and then spending half the night waiting to load at some steel mill,then having to tarp outside when the wind's blowing 40 mph in the snow,sleet and rain, then be expected to deliver 500 miles away at 7 the next morning-then when you get there they put the load outside in the weather anyway.

5+4 Transmission Shifting

I'll agree with that. I always said it takes way more skill to drive a 5 speed Mack than any of the roadranger transmissions. If you drive a quadruplex like a 5 speed you must have way more horsepowers than my B-model's got. -
I've been hauling these big aluminum coils from the Port of Wilmington (N.C.) to Ball Metal Beverage in Bristol,Va. all week. They make the pop-tops for aluminum cans there. Almost 400 miles each way. We'd do a load every day,they unload until midnight. I was pulling a Conestoga because I don't have a TWIC card and wild man would go in and load his load then come out and take my truck in and load it for me. They had to be tarped before you could leave,so the Conestoga made it easier.

not really-maybe if you were bobtailing all the time. a quadruplex isn't that hard to drive after you fool with it a while-under,direct,and over in the compound in each gear in the main until you get to 5th.gear,then you don't use the compound.The quad. is a Mack trans. but not all 5 and 4s are. -
Nice looking truck though,and clean.Set back front axle.I like it.You'll probly get a new mattress anyway.

oh yeah,I see it.

I took a picture of the Bulldog in front of headquarters in Greensboro, but it's hard to get a picture going west and it was always dark when I came back east. You can barely see it over the black SUV.

Mack Wooden Box

I left the Peterbilt at the south Lynchburg truckstop Saturday morning. If it's not there now at least I know what happened to it. As for the scarecrow, I had too many leaves in the garden to till them in so I decided to burn them off and burned the scarecrow up in the process. The owl was unhurt however. -
The camper was being pulled by a 3 wheel bike too, like the school bus.I got it off another site and did a slapped up cut-copy-paste on it...I forgot where I got the motorcycle picture I used from. It came from around here somewhere pretty close though. I haven't heard from James for a while either.

I'm just killin' time, waiting for my next mission... Freightrain at home early one morning gets a cup of coffee and looks out the window... " oh my gosh! looks like there was a big suplosion over at Joe's junk yard and it blew a rusty,crusty,yet trusty looking Dodge pickup, a trailer with a 3 ton rolling gantry crane,a bulk quick lube dispensing outfit, a 6-71 Detroit engine, a bike,and an R-model or 2 on it right into our driveway- we better call 9-1-1. Wow,all that crap landed on the trailer almost like somebody put it there on purpose!"

Mr. Watt- "Barry,if you see a rusty,crusty,yet trusty Dodge pickup pull in here pulling a trailer with a 3 ton rolling gantry crane,a bulk quick lube dispensing outfit, a 6-71 Detroit engine, a bike,and an R-model or 2 on the trailer,lock the doors and close the shades." Barry- "gotcha"

geez, where the hell is the bike, Nova Scotia? I never know where i'm gonna be, but I have been known to travel the area mentioned-except Nova Scotia.

here's some pictures of the Macks and the book's cover.

You could just put a glad hand on the fuel cap so you can pressurize it easily...or you could even put fuel in it periodically, that might work too.

yeah, they started in Alaska and went as far as due north of Michigan. They had a plane marking the general route by dropping colored stakes that were weighted on one end so they'd stick in the snow, guides on the ground marking the best route for the road, then cat dozers clearing a trail, more cat dozers widening the trail, then the snow train and trucks, at about 70 below zero. Like he said, sounds easy enough on paper, right? What they were doing was installing an early warning radar system on the Arctic Ocean.
