tjc transport

a couple months ago the troopers set outside an industrial park where all the animals were running dirt in for stocking for a winter project. just so happens to be an asphalt plant at the end of the road. troopers were there banging the dirt trucks because the guys were getting paid by the ton, and were averaging 100,000 lbs plus. and most of the trucks should not have been on the road due to major defects. anyway, i was coming out of the asphalt plant, and one of the troopers pulled me in cause they were slow, and he thought i was coming out of the dirt site. after checking my load ticket, he asked me if i minded him scaling me, and doing a quick inspection. i told him "not at all, and i would be disappointed in you if you did not". well, i was 100 lbs over on the steer axle, and he found a very slight air leak on the trans. i asked him if i could redistribute the weight. he said ahhh yea i guess so. so i picked the dump body up 5 foot and set it back down. told him there, that should be good. he looked at the scales, and the front axle was now 100 lbs light. with that i got a "get out of here smartass." i shook his hand, told him to be safe, and took off. 😁

Just proves one man's trash is another man's diamond.

NO COMMENT!!!! 😁

normally, ya can't get in trouble if you are in the dark. 😁

that funny little dog IS NOT waving at you.

wow. i are jellyus. 😁

not really. Macks still kinda look like a Mack. a volvo, wellll.....

Temp ban. Which is what a few of them got if I remember ccorrectly. Then when they came back from " vacation" they went all in trying to get permanently banned

they chose to be banned. we did not do it willy nilly. they were asked to abide by the VERY FEW AND SIMPLE site rules. and flat out refused to. what else could be done? look at it this way.... if i were to come to your house and pee in the corner of the back yard. you ask me not to do it ever again..............then i go inside and pee in the corner of the living room.... will you ever allow me back over?

only he knows for sure.

if i were to ban someone by IP address, than i would also ban everyone with the same IP address. very rarely do i ban an ip address, unless it is pakastan, or india, or someplace where those address has absolutely nothing to do with the site content, or used by spammers.. as an example: on another site, there is a VPN address that comes back to a small island in an indian reservation in the midwest. for some reason, it is very popular with the euro spammers. i was getting between 75 and 100 join requests per day from that address. it is now a banned address.

they were looking to get banned. simply would not obey the rules.

there was a retired teamster know it all here. she was banned, and came back under another name .got banned again and came back again. and got banned again. some people feel that certain moderators un ban her. but it is not true.

a person who has been banned by the site administrator is banned for good. there is no coming back.

where did you see a milling machine?

i had an operating engineers union rep try to close down a sand pit back in 88 because i refused to show him id, and he claimed i had non union drivers in the trucks.. i told him to go back to the bar. he refused and called the cops when i told him if he did not move his truck i would. i also called his company president. he had union people follow my trucks knowing they were going to a union job on the nj turnpike. only issue was all the trucks were going into nu yawk. 😁 by the way, i had an "A" book with the operating engineers union, AND a teamsters book. and all my drivers were teamsters too. he got fired, (and arrested for drunk driving) and i got apologies from the union and a go ahead to load any trucks i wanted, going to any jobs i wanted to send them to. the main issue with this drunk was he wanted my pit, but refused to put up any money to get it operational. he waited until we put almost 1/2 million into two bridges and 1 1/2 miles of paved roads into the property before trying to take over.

agreed. at first i thought that was an H model and was wondering where the pete was. until i zoomed in on the pic and realized it was not a mack. too bad they do not have any specifications on the trucks.

technically you have to be alive and human to vote for the US president too. but that has not stopped all those dead people and animals in detroit, chicago, and other big cities from voting.

to the best of my knowledge, trucks came from factory back then without body just like they do now. after being built, the cab chassis is sent to whatever body builder the buyer/ supplying dealership specifies for body install.

when i used to do gas station rehab, we would put 50 lbs dry ice in the 5,000 gallon underground gas tanks, then wait until the dry ice "smoke" would come out the holes on top before cutting them open.

looks like a lot of crack was consumed in the planning of that "thing" 😁

well he did not get cut, so the reason for his disappearance is on him. i can not see last time logged on. he is still listed as a moderator, so his account is still active.

Golden eagle. Haven't seen one of them in many years

oh so correct. but ya know, if it were not for those creature comforts, us old timers on the last leg of our trip would not be out on the road, because we simply are wore out like all those old battle tanks WE wore out over the years. it is nice to spend the last few years before forced retirement in a nice ride. i remember the old tanks with armstrong steering, 210 hp and a quad box, top speed 45 mph, fantastic air conditioning in the winter, and even better heat in the summer, bias ply tires on three piece rims that liked to pop the ring and try to decapitate you, brakes that just barely stopped you when empty, and undivided highways. but on the same token, pace of life was A LOT slower back then and people had respect for trucks and gave us the room we needed to navigate

Agreed I think back to the trucks I drove over the past 50 years, and each new one made us softer and softer. My new 2020 T880 is better riding, and easier to drive than my 2014 F250 pickup is.
