Dang, don't remember the last time I saw any COE's on the road. Paul

You all can get all lathered up all you want over Lady Flagger - I gave up on any broad wearing leg warmers years ago.

What really trips my trigger is the clambunk skidder - she is hot (for a workin' girl).

Really liking them International 4070b cabovers! Nice looking rides.

The first truck I ever drove was a CO-4070A cabover with a 350 Cummins and 10 speed, then a '74 CO-4070A 290 Cummins 13 speed, then another '74 with a VT903 Cummins and 13 speed direct .

Little history on the green and white IH- This truck was owned by Montague-Betts Co, a structural steel fabricating co. in Lynchburg, Va. They fabricated steel for the World Trade Center in New York, amongst many other jobs. It was absolute top of the line in it's day- Transtar Eagle-400 Cummins, 13 speed, deluxe interior. They had two of these, the other was two tone brown, plus another two tone brown unit with a 350 Cummins, and 2 Brockway cabovers with 350's in them.

When Montague-Betts closed down it's trucking operation and before Hirschfield Steel bought the plant, H.H.Moore, whom I used to drive for, bought the brown truck and hired the Montague-Betts driver and let him keep driving the same truck. B.E. Moore, out of Concord, Va. used to drive the green and white one, and he bought it himself and continued to drive it for years. Now he's not in good health but this truck is still running for B.E. Moore and it passes by our shop on rt. 460 on a regular basis.

WOW! That is amazing! thanks for the history other dog... I always had a soft spot for the Coe transtars! Probably my favorite cabover!

That green and white transtar is a good looking truck,i always liked that paint design on them. I only was able to drive one,but it was not an "eagle" just a plain simple C0-4000 with a "nine-o-nothin'" cummins in it................................Mark

Seen more things this week-

Like this-

Yep, it's a U-model.

And I saw a big red Mack, a big white Mack, and a blue Mack in the mirror.

Some 'quipment for sale

goats on the cliff

A nice load of pulpwood

Another a-hole passing me on a double yellow line in West Virginia.

A couple of old trucks in Pa, can't tell what they are.

No suspicious activity going on around here

Holy Crap where is that U model?

That pulpwood boy better be hauling a big load - if that sign behind him is correct, he is paying 50 cents more a gallon than we are here.

Same diesel around here is 3.77 last time i saw.
