You nailed that! I will bet the Chevy dealers will have that rebadged Isuzu in class 6 very quickly

Ok Matt, sorry about your friend.

Homerun with 3 on base!

Seems kind of confusing to me. VW makes a significant investment in Navistar. Iveco is a significant VW competitor on the world stage-I think. Iveco makes what appears to be a "worthy" conventional that if I understand the world scene, is best suited for AUS (KSC-agree?) Having said that, why would you enable the fox to get into the hen house?

Hmnn-will reduce fuel economy? Why does correcting a defective component lead to reduced economy?

Brocky-Not my turn for the Lear this weekend! Good luck with weather-be thankful it wasn't this last one! Bob

EJ-0800! look forward to seeing you guys.

Guys, A reminder, the ATCA New England Chapter show is this coming Sunday, October 16th. Lancaster Fairgrounds-Home of the Bolton Fair, Rt 117 Lancaster Ma. Long range weather forecast looks good! Hope to see many of you there. Bob

Nice- your scale comment can relate to this- I've posted before but I call it ..."60 years of 24" spokes"

what is tire size?

Thx Kevin- "Lanyard on the roof"-and here I thought the horns were going back on roof! Column mounted shifter?-obviously Allisons ?? RH- regional? Petroleum haulers? Would have thought they would be pushing the aluminum cab HX series for the bulk industry. In any case looks like it will be a real dogfight with F-Liner and the new Cascadia. So with these being built at Escobedo, looks like the two big volume OTR tractors will all be from south of the border.

Kevin-no pix?? Went to Navistar's website and nothing.

Thx Jim-excellent site. Amazing when you look at those spans and year they were built. How? Falsework as they went along? Must be some info on the web as to just how that was done. If you drive across the Tappan Zee bridge today and see the huge array of cranes its impressive. Doing something in early 1800's had to be equally impressive given what they had to work with.

I would also think shedding snow load had to be a big factor as well. Think of one of those spans without a roof and about 12" of wet snow on the deck. Plus I would imagine the wood framing and roof decking added to the structural strength??? A balancing act-the weight of the timber that went into the roof vs what it added to the strength of the span itself. As for B'dogboys post on that fire a couple of weeks ago that is an unbelievable loss. First thought is some jackass threw a cigarette out the window and it landed just right and had draft.

Is this WABCO the former American "Wabco"-and if so did that same Wabco buy the construction equipment line from R. G. LeTourneau???

Amen!

Wow-What town you in Jim?? Worth a trip. On the subject of leaf peepers I always said -Columbus Day weekend in New England was one of our biggest weekends for hauling a lot of gas!

Agree-but guess what-have Fox on and they just interviewed Shillary and told her Trump was likely to bring up Bill's sexcapades. She quickly says.."he can do what he wants, I'm going to talk about issues" And she's right- who gives a f--k about what BJob Bill got or who cares about a Miss Universe from 20 years ago. Trump has got to put his ego aside and move on to issues. Like I said, his handlers are either stupid or ineffective in getting him to set his macho man image aside and talk about substance. There are just too many negative things that keep piling up and he does nothing to "move on". We are going to hear him spout off again on Miss Venezuela. You are right Donald-she won a commercial beauty pageant and should have kept herself in shape for the sake of her "sponsors". She didn't. I don't give a shit about that. That issue is doing nothing to protect my grandkids future!! I want to know HOW you are going to restore jobs-and Ford by the way is making you look like a complete dumbass with your speech on forcing them back to the US from Mexico-Ford Donald employs MORE hourly workers in US and builds MORE vehicles in US than GM or Fiat-and by the way didn't take a government bailout. And the cars they will move out of that Michigan plant go for under 25g's and the new Ranger/Bronco will likely sell for well over 35g's. Oh and Ford brought back F=650/750 form the Navistar JV in Mexico and are building them in a Ford plant in Ohio. I know this-most of you guys probably know this-he doesn't???? He has so much good material to work with but choses to spout irrelevant bullshit. But what can you say about a 72 year old guy with blond hair? And just think what anyone of us could have done if we had been given a million bucks when were starting out and more importantly had immediate financial relief everytime we came close to going under. Stick to the issues Donald. Keep up the bullshit and we are going to keep hearing more about you insulting the handicapped reporter, making your expensive cloths in China or some third world shithole, etc etc.

Hah-I've shown my TWIC card every now and then to a TSA "officer" and I might as well have shown him my Sears credit card-no clue what he was looking at.

Guys, As I see it we are screwed. We are NOT going to win this on the "old white guy vote". I don't know about everyone else but all the females in my family have no use for the Donald. We may like his message and the fact he thinks a lot like we do when it comes to running something-be it a business or government, but the fact remains-too many big voting blocks are against him. And for sure-most important election in our lives-in particular with all the Supreme Court vacancies coming up. Let's hope Pence kicks this POS that Shillary has running with her on Tuesday. If the Donald can't appeal to a broader base, lets hope Pence can

Thx for response. Mass waived the bridge formula when they went to 99,000 back in like 80 (?) we had 11,800 gal Heils with 50,000 lb tandems on tank-axles were set forward so nice for getting in and out of old locations You still see some of these old Heils in service. Would be nice if Me, NH, VT Ma and RI were uniform. forget about Ct!-still at 80,000 on 5 axles I think

OK Maybe I'm thinking of Detroit powered U's. I'm thinking Roadway had some-I just remember the jacked up hoods.

So what does a triaxle tractor and triaxle trailer let you haul in NH that tandem tractor and triaxle trailer won't?

Glad to see Eaton is a player. Glad to hear that vs. Getrag, ZF etc. Also your comment on Hendrickson
