    From what I’m seeing 350 is about the best you’re going to do I still haven’t looked into the rims I would really like to get rid of all my split rims and go tubeless I haven’t really done anything yet. As I mentioned around here do I have a lot of container chassis word spoke wheels I am hoping to find some good take offs mounted…. Bob

    We had a terminal manager like that high school dropout Wayback when I was working for the trucking outfit years ago, guy was a cracker. Jack had that place running like a well oiled machine. Lots of business and as the old story goes, father passed, son took over got rid of that terminal manager because they thought they were paying him too much. hired to brain dead idiots to replace him company. He was out of business in two years.

    I remember back in the 80s we had a fella like that Los Angeles Mack dealership real nice guy. He was a German from the old country. Funny thing his name was max …had the accent complete crackerjack he was there fuel pump man I was floored just to hear him talking about the many parts inside a pump …are used to trade with them all the time I knew everyone in there …and they would lend me tools kind of getting off the subject but those old days are sure gone I don’t even think the dealership is there anymore … but again there’s very few people walking around as smart as this guy was… Bob

    Do you know I grow up with Macks and brockways East Coast move to California in 1980 and I never really cared for the peterbuilt at all until I was out of here about 30 years finally they grew on me I do like them now… yes I like that new model but I do like the 379 better although as I mentioned, I do like that new design and yes they have Kenworth beat by a mile. It looks like the same cab as I have on my 57.9 Pete thanks for the post… Bob

    It don’t end there ….I can’t believe how snobby everybody is nowadays in truckstops. It wasn’t always like that places used to be a lot of fun conversation everywhere now nobody even looks at me . Don’t know what happened through the years but now I really don’t even care one way or the other 3/4 of them are steering wheel holders nowadays anyway ha ha
