SAC B52 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I've driven quite a few trucks like alot of you guys, been trying to dig out some old pics. Here's the 112 Freightliner I drove for Mobil Oil Corp. I have to find a few more around. I also have a real nice pic of an R model tanker special I think they called it. They were lightweight for gasoline hauling,I'll try to find it.You guys may have better knowledge than me on them. It had a 350/ mack 9-speed all alluminum package wheels/tanks etc.I also ran lime with that (freuhauf dry bulk) out of Armstrong tile in Reading,Pa. What a sweet riding truck.

Out west the gasoline stations generally are more thought out and easier for deliveries. 2am in the morning on a city street in Newark is a pain in the you know what, with cars all parked all over the place, theirs no room for the tractor much less the trailer.LOL Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19208-freightshaker-112/#findComment-78467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
