other dog Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Could be- check it out.Looks like the truck in the left-center of the picture could well indeed be a U-model. I'd never even noticed it before, just saw it when I biggerized my pictures on the computer. It's a hard spot to look much because the only place you can see down there is when you're on the ramp getting onto 60 from 220 just before you get on I-64 and it's a very short merge area too, so you have to be looking at things besides U-models there.Here's some more pictures...none are of U-models however.This looks like a Superliner in the mirror-Yes Olive, he was coming to get me.This looks like a Superliner coming out of the chip mill on rt. 15 north of Dillwyn.Saw a lot of Superliners this week- too bad Vinny's not Superliner nut, I could get pictures much easier.This looks like a red dump truck fueling at the Go-Mart in Fairplain, W.V.Clearing an accident on I-77 in West Virginia. They're unloading whatever was in the mashed van into another trailer. I don't know what happened. This was Monday afternoon and the accident happened around 3 or 4 am, according to the citizen's band radio news. All the northbound traffic was detoured around it while they cleared it. I only saw 2 trucks, this one and a Swift sitting just ahead of it with the front end of it torn up, but I also heard on the citizen's band radio news that 5 or 6 trucks were involved.I took this picture the next day, looks like at least one went through the guard rail and down over the bank.So even when scouting for U-models you have to pay attention to everything else. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

41chevy Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Does that Superliner has a single axle? I don"t think I've ever seen that.

When I saw the 2 stacks I asked him if he had a V8, he said no, he had a little motor. Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.
