know what you mean about no place to park to get picture at mine, thats the first thing i thought, seen lots of old farm equipment along 83, i delivered just north of mohall, could see canada, but did not cross the border, must have missed the b model

I've always wanted to see Canada-and not just from across the river from Detroit or Buffalo,which i've done, but really see it. One of my best friends lives in Elliot Lake.

I want to see Moose Jaw, and Red Deer, and Kamloops, and Labrador City. Soon as I win the lottery i'm outa here...

Montana is one of the prettiest places i've ever been to.

Oh ok,theres a big construction company on the bypass just south of minot,they have a HUGE sign with a B-model pulling a lowboy with an old caterpillar dozer on it,i've been trying to get a picture of it,but the weather has been crappy the last few times i've been up there.I cross into canada about 35 miles north of minot.....mark

I couldn't find the b-model sign or the pit mine on google earth.But one of our drivers called me one day this week and told me he found a nest of old Macks on rt. 30 about 10 miles west of Gettysburg,Pa. He said they were in good condition,like they had come in from a trip and parked there and left.

He said one was an LJ that was hooked to an old reefer trailer with the blower and ice compartment in the nose.I didn't see that but I did find these 2 B's,so I suspect this is the place he was talking about.I saw the red B-model here with the van trailer in a youtube video I just watched and downloaded on realplayer. It's called "Semi truck junkyard pictures".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-M7rjzTUPlU

I also found the Snow Train and Rob's new gantry crane on google earth.

I did a google image search and found the B-model sign i was talking about........mark

Wow thought the sign at Gilles Truck Stop up in New Liskerd, Ontario was impressive, they have an H model up on a big sign in the air in front of the restaurant. But that one tops it a B model with a float and a D6 Cat dozer on it. That's one heavy sign, very impressive.

Great! What do you haul,new office furniture or general home furniture store type furniture?

The first time I passed through Butte was at night and there were lights everywhere,all over the mountainsides and I thought "wow,this place is huge".

Then when I saw it in the daytime it wasn't nearly as impressive-size wise that is-still beautiful country though.I wouldn't mind living out there.

Hey otherdog,i haul mainly new store display type furniture,also new office furniture,only difference is that i haul directly to the customers location so it's all LTL,i go out with up to 6-7 stops,sometimes i'm out for a few weeks. Don't know for how long though,one of our biggest suppliers (stanley) just closed their plant in martinsville,moved to mexico,put about 500 people out of a job.....anyway,i like this part of the country too,i got a good friend who lives in great falls,MT we used to be leased to the same co. and ran together quite a bit, so i got to spend sometime with him and his family out there. Was'nt for the winter,i'd move out there in a minute,but mama don't like the cold!.......mark
