tjc transport

the new Scania trucks have some neat features. like the 770HP V8 engine. the lift drive axle for empty driving so you are only a single axle. the redesigned high visibility interior. the easy access to engine for checking fluids. the in cab adjustable air ride suspension. built in refrigerator in the cab. on board APU. the list goes on and on and on.

NJ code 41 restrictions: Vehicles cannot operate on a highway at a speed greater than 45 miles per hour when carrying a load under 50 percent of the registered gross weight. Vehicle cannot exceed 30 miles (air mile radius) when carrying a load over 50 percent of the registered gross weight. i do not know of anyone still running code 41 plates. last person i knew with 41 plates dropped them around 25 years ago when he repowered his 69 8 DM800 with an electronic 400, 8LL trans,, and 4.56 gears.

for the roads yes. but bridge laws are different. technically tandems are only allowed 34,000 on bridges. but no one enforces it.

likey no worky.

i always thought the "michelin man" was a south american thing. almost any truck driven by a south american here in New Jersey had at least one on top of the cab.

not mine, but an local near me. Tom Bifulco is selling his V8 CL713 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1276643926785938/?ref i know this truck. it is clean and well loved.

the only yards with trucks are Marlboro Auto Wreckers on Tennant Road, and Midway Auto Wreckers on Texas Road in Morvanville NJ. Marlboro has a truck yard about 1/2 mile from the main yard on Spring Valley road.

they are mostly still there........for now. the only ones closed are Barons and PJ's. Aberdeen auto salvage is still there, but only open on saturday and by appointment during the week. John has gotten real sick and the guy running the yard for him has a full time weekday job. the two yards down the other end off Tyler lane are still open, and Midway auto wreckers is still open. Marlboro auto wreckers yard on spring valley road is still working, as is B&B on 520.

it may be on google news, but it still aint true. if it was, ford would be promoting the heck out of it. and ford said "nope, not gonna happen."

i highly doubt this is true, rather someone doing some wishful thinking. if it was true, it would already be here as ford starts building next year model cars around beginning of September.

hey Paul, remember to wash the new coveralls Santa brings you before "going to work"!!! 🤣

been a good 25 years since i was out that way. but it was beautiful country AND people back then.

you should be able to see engine hours in the computer control panel under engine info.

good theory. but since then demonrats can not find any of the 15 million illegals running free here even when they are doing all the sheitz around their own houses they dont want to do themselves, what makes you thing they can find one of us. ?

not to worry, the tractor trailer with the costco super extra large roll is almost there.......it got tied up at the virginia border. something about improper permits. so they detoured it through new mexico.

not sure if that was the Brooklyn warehouse fire where 6 firefighters were killed around 1978 or the Staten Island Black Saturday fire.

my thoughts on that story? i have been saying all along it was the government. and seeing how most sightings were near military installations it all make perfect sense. i figured they were doing the drills at night to keep people from seeing exactly what they were seeing.

nope. only one made as you dont mess with perfection!!

yup. on the old B815 i ran they were the indicator lights to let you know the directional was on.

it may have been an oddball design, but it was used over 2200 times during it's 17 years of service and. it worked just as planned delivering between 5,500 and 10,000 gallons per minute. during the "black saturday" fires in 1963 on Staten Island it supplied water to fight the fires as the water lines went dry causing no water for firefighting. the super pumper was used to pump out of the bay and deliver much needed water to the firefighters.

Abe Lincoln posted a study on the internet before he was shot on Hitler, where he proved Hitler was a fictional character dreamed up by Sherlock Holmes..

it is one of the few memories of my childhood Bob. on the same trip we had a bear in the campsite in upstate NY. mom freaked out and made us all sleep in the car instead of the tent. then went to the town dump (which was about a mile away on the farm) and my cousin gave me a 22 where we spent a few hours shooting rats. also went fishing in the farm pond and was introduced to perch. the father was province mayor, and he was also the largest cattle farm owner in the province. also owned the cheese factory, and milk processing plant. and i have never been back. don't even know if any of them are still alive.

1965 for me and end of july beginning of august, we were on our way to Quebec to take my great aunt to see family as she did not drive. in the family station wagon. 65 galaxy wagon with 390/4 barrel and auto trans. just barely made it to the top. we were up there just long enough to see it was not a wise idea to hang around as a storm was blowing in. we actually saw it coming at us. so dad decided time to go. about quarter way down the mountain it hit. by halfway, visibility was almost zero and snow covered everything. about three quarters down the car started sliding. only time i ever saw my father scared. we made it, and the next day he vowed we would never climb a mountain in a car ever again...... and he kept his word!!

all three of my sisters worked for Blonder Tongue Labs. older sister was accounts purchasing for 32 years.. little sister was executive secretary for 28 years, and baby sister was in the product design lab for 8 years before getting married and leaving to run the new husbands construction company office. the lab is still there, 8 miles from my house.
