  1. Yes....................... No........................
  2. Evidently we can't read or judge distance/clearance either?
  3. What'ya think happened here?
  4. I suppose given the amount of rolling stock Swift owns,that's prolly not a bad FMCSA score,but I bet the Safety director there is a 24/7 365 job!...................................Mark
  5. One more............................. S ee W erner I m F ast T oo!
  6. I'd volunteer for a level 3 if that was the inspector! (she does look a little heavy on the drives!)..........................................Mark
  7. First thing I did was throw away those coiled hoses! I cant stand em'! I use these bundled together rubber lines,kinda like a three headed snake.nice neat set-up.................................Mark
  8. I've often wondered what Swifts actual attrition rate is,as far as accidents? I know they have a huge boneyard in Arizona I've been past there a time or two and there are several THOUSAND wrecked trucks and trailers inside!............................................Mark
  9. I agree with Gearhead,quick connects are against the law on tractor/trailer lines for highway use! I use un-coiled rubber lines from Tectran.com they have anything you need in the way of airlines,not cheap,but very well made quality product.............................Mark www.tectran.com
  10. Jim,neat that all those memories are still there after all these years! we may have crossed paths "back in the day" I spent many a day with my Dad at both Port Newark and Port Elizabeth when I was a boy,along with the always exciting Hunts Point and Bronx Terminal markets! As I remember though,the only bananas he hauled either came from Tioga Pier (84) in Philly,Camden or the Port of Wilmington...............................Mark
  11. I'm up and down 301 all the time,i'll sure be on the lookout for the F-Model!...............................Mark
  12. OH,PRIME RIB! I had a "rib" sammich yesterday,does that count? Lol!........................Mark
  13. Worth the effort in my opinion,gonna be a nice one! congrats on bringing it home,yet another saved from the dreaded boatride!.........................Mark
  14. Thanks for posting these FW,i always enjoy seeing trucks from someones past,and always like seeing "New England" pinstripes!.........................................Mark
  15. Yes,the company name is Zavitz,I found this and a few others on their webpage..........................Mark
  16. I found this picture a couple days ago,and thought it was worth sharing. I've never seen this particular add-on sleeper before,anyone have any details on it? Must have been mighty cramped in there! I remember seeing a Crackerbox GMC with something similar when I was a kid.........................................Mark
  17. Damn! not quite sure which of these is the nicer dumper?.................................Mark
  18. Just my .02,but that truck looks too far gone to me to restore,unless it had some sentimental/family history probably not worth doing. And like most restorations,you could put upwards of $50K in it,and still end up with something worth $5.............just sayin' Mark
  19. Twin Peaks,that's the name of the place!!!,i was in one in DFW awhile ago, I rarely forget shorty-shorts!..................................Mark
  20. Thanks for thinking of us Ray! I've seen those girls somewhere? seems like some kind of a chain bar/restaurant like Hooters or TK's?.................................................Mark
  21. Tim,that thing is a brute! I like that color too! have you seen anything like a Roadtrain in your travels so far?...............................................Mark
  22. Both the DM-800 mixer and dump trailer combo are getting scarce and expensive! I would love to have both of them but almost never come up for sale anymore,and may never be re-released........................................Mark
  23. Yardo,I thought the same thing,the R-Model does not look familiar to me,but pretty sure I've seen that F somewhere? Has an ATHS sticker on it....................................Mark
  24. DAMN!...................so much time,so little "hobby truck" money!..................................Mark
  25. The "new" Autocar is based on the old White Expediter chassis,been around a long time..........................................Mark
