Rob Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 HI Y'all,Say thank you to ISO 9001. This is why dealers are not stocking the inventory of parts anymore. So years from now there won't be any type of NOS parts sitting around on the shelves.ScottInteresting you mention that. Same thing I was saying almost 20 years ago when it was starting out mainstream. This "just in time" inventory will kill us that use/maintain older equipment.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

rhasler Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 "Just in time inventory" is a hoax. The only time I've ever had a part "just in time" was when it was ordered for another truck that hadn't shown up to have it installed yet. Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!"

Well my uncle Frank had the landfill in No Arlington NJ back in 60's and I used to get up @4.30 am to go to my cousin Pat's to meet him on a Sat. Morning to go to the dump with him, (about 12 or 13 years old) I did that just to get a chance to drive a TD24 or a TD14 International Bullbozer..Crazy Right!!.. I also hunk around the the trucking terminals that my other uncles worked at, as well as the trucking garages that my dad and my uncles worked at!. I have always loved trucks and heavy equipment!! So as a kid.. I had a GREAT GREAT childhood!! mostly around trucks! So I think about those times often with great pride!! And the memories, well those memories........ for me as a KID and I will never forget them!!... So.................. What A Time It Was!!Thanks for listen, BULLHUSK Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/15780-what-a-time-it-was-what-a-time-it-is/page/6/#findComment-97088 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Is this for sure or just in the works?This is part of the EPA energy proposal to pay for "alternate" energy development. Generally if the EPA wants it the EPA orders it. So far it has been blocked.

Olivetroad Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 A good friend of mine owns a small mineral/mining company here in mid-missouri and the old Christy Minerals plant in St. Louis. He just sued in Federal Court the Obama administration over the requirement that business owners will have to provide birth control/abortion in their health plans. I think this is the first suit brought by a private employer so far. He knows that now the black helicopters, IRS, and worst of all for him, the EPA are going to come calling.

I doubt that the majority of the members of those unions will vote for him though, at least the ones that can think for themselves.I just have to laugh when I see Hoffa JR. on TV rantin about about Bush and the Rep. party, and how the Dem's are our saving grace... Let me see now........ Was it not the Kennedy's that brought down his father?? Last time I checked they are Democrats no?? And I just love to hear the Rev. Al Sharpton on his view of the Republican party ( Oh by the way GOP the party of Lincoln) did anyone tell this lamebrain who now works for MSNBC that if it wasn't for the Rep. party back in the 60's that Pres LBJ's Civil rights act would never have come to be, because most of the dem. party was against it!!

I too have become a "looker-upper" since the early days of the internet and I'm surprised at some of the crap these people try to sell us when it's so easy to call them on it. The down side is that voting has become more difficult because I know so much about each candidate that I can't stand any of them.

bullhusk Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Going with my Dad on the weekend's back in the 1960's up into the Pa. coal region to work on some of his customers truck's, they were mostly all Mack's and Brock's!! My Dad was a Wiz on gas motors, and there were a lot of them still around back then and some of the diesel mechanic's would get stumped with distributor timing and plug's, point's, wires and stuff like that!..... Well my point is that the Pennsylvania coal region was a bustling industry back then, with coal jockys and big dozers and loaders all over the place!! We would stop for lunch at the bars and he would have a couple of beer's and a sandwich (I would always get a fountain soda mixed with syrup an seltzer) don't see that anymore! that sandwich could feed 3 people!! I would talk to the coal miners and listen to them tell me stories of there working in the mines and some of them telling stories from the (old country)!!! everyone was makin a little money and everyone was nice !! What a time it was!!!Well last week I was at the Freightliner dealer in Pa. with my Brock 361 dump truck, some older gentleman pulls up in a pick up truck and starts lookin at the 361. So just as I get ready to leave the man started to tell me about the Brockway's and Mack's and even the K-series International's that he would (coal jocky with) drive back in the day!! So I asked him how life was treating him? Well at 86 he was running for parts and stuff for a local guy in the area and just keeping busy. I went on to tell him about how I remembered the Pa. coal days as a kid....Well I could not beleave what he told me about Pa and Wv.coal ind. He told me that most coal miners are outa work!!! are you kidding me!! He told me that in the last 3 years have not been kind to the coal Ind in Pa or Wv. He told me that the people up state are havin a tough time and but are still nice, and that the new gas drilling has helped, but that most of the permits that were delt out a few years ago are all just about done and that the new guys in Washington want to stop the hyd fracking, soooo no new permits!!! I don't know if things are as bad as he said they are, but I'm sure some of you guys on the site that live up in that area would know?What a Time it Is !!!BULLHUSK Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/15780-what-a-time-it-was-what-a-time-it-is/page/6/#findComment-124014 Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Oblamea said they could build coal fired plants if they wanted to but, he would bankrupt them. They are currently taking power plants offline as it becomes increasingly more costly to upgrade them. Wait until those people get their power bills as futures are increasing as much as sixteen fold in places like Ohio.
