tjc transport

we had a John Deer track loader on the farm with a 2-53 detroit. everyone around the area knew when we were mucking out the pig pen or burying/digging new garbage pits.

we have a drive through wash 3 miles away. used to be $75 for the tandem and $85 for the triaxle or $125 for truck and trailer. now it is $110 for tandem and $125 for triaxle. and he don't charge me for the trailer any more. i only go to the drive through if it is really dirty. since i am the only one driving i go SLOW in the quarries and off road, which of course pisses off the by the load fools. a few times they have passed us hourly guys at 40-50 mph and splash mud all over. when we get to the scale the scale man already knows why the trucks are covered from cabshield down and usually ban the speeders. one guy passed another truck on a bend and almost hit the quarry owner while doing over 60 on a posted 5 mph limit road.......spilling stone off the side of the truck. he no longer works in New Jersey as he was banned from all quarries after that incident. last i heard he is also banned from the 4 Pennsy quarries along th eJersey border too.

i still have to outside wash.... until we get the new building put up. there is going to be a wash bay inside up front near the left door.

i got a dozen extra jumbo double yolk eggs tuesday for $4.69. my store does not raise prices until they buy new stock. and since most people do not buy from the deli because" prices are too high" they go to the supermarket and pay $7.65 a dozen for large. last time i was at shoprite last week extra jumbo were $11,89 a dozen....

yes it did Bob. it actually was sold in september and i got a 2022 that is pretty much same exact thing. guy offered more than what we paid for it back in 2019. so the new one only cost $15,000. as for keeping it clean, it gets washed every night before getting parked. 73,000 miles on it and looked like it just was picked up from the dealer.

is that a small sleeper or an engine cover?

my bet is more work than it is worth.

that sure does look like a newer tach on edit: i just blew up the picture and what i thought was the speedo is actually the tach.

ain't you never watched Bugs Bunny? they be maroons JoJo, but buffoons.

many years ago a friend had a sign on his retractable gate that said "this gate is not to protect me from you...it is to protect you from me" he got a lot of complaints about it, but the police never said anything. than one day someone stole it.

Wassamatta, he made you hungry too?

until you get a bunch of Jehovah's see the sign and swamp you as a "safe place"

i never had any problem sleeping in the DM's or R models, the granite was a different story with the dash cupholders and shifter placement. same with my new kenworth. cup holders and and auto trans shifter placement mean there is no place to comfortably put my legs.

i have this on the front door: anyone that knocks on the door are asked "can you forking read" then i slam the door in their face before they can say anything. and then call the police and report them for soliciting without a permit........which is a BIG fine in my town.

"came over with the pilgrims" 🤣 I'm gonna have to try that one........my daughter tells me all the time i am older than dinosaur dung.

that is what god made children and grandchildren for Larry, to do the crap we are too old to do .

try to un-see this!!! 😁

i remember Apgar Bros very well. always spotless trucks. the company still lives in the fact they were located on Apgar Drive Somerset NJ. i have not been down Apgar drive in a while now, but the last time i was the terminal was still there.

gravity transfer worked just fine for what, 80-100 years? but the engimaneers read that bulletin about "if it aint broke fix it until it is".....and did.

Same here. 44-30. Hmmm.wher typed that way, it looks like a low power black powder rifle cartridge. 😁

Yea sure. You just wanted everyone to think we was crazy and making things up.

Same here. I wear 3XL XXlong shirts not because of the waist, I need them for the 29 inch shoulders and 18 inch neck. My shirts look like a tent from the shoulders down. And even with a 3XL shirt, I still can not button the neck

Yea, like that!

back in the late 70's i would make a delivery once a week to a small supermarket in the middle of an even smaller town. loading dock was 50 foot down a 11 foot wide alley. everyone would make deliveries there with a straight job truck, or step vans at the front door. since all i had was a single axle tractor and 40 foot trailer, that is what i used. to get into the alley i would have to drive over the curb and up the steps of the police station across the street. first time i did it the police chief came into the store and out the back to #1: give me crap for driving over the curb and up HIS steps. then #2; tell me he never seen anyone drive a truck like that before without hitting anything and stick it in the hole in one shot, than #3 to ask me to please give him a heads up whenever i was coming into town so he could have his men close the street for me.

Bob, the only way you will see it is on a laptop or desktop computer running the full site. you do not see it on a mobile device like a phone or tablet.
