other dog Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Gripping descriptions of what I saw this week!...like this big red Paystar 5000 at Carter Lumber in Warren,Pa.These units were across the street from Carter Lumber in Warren,Pa.This is a white R-model dump truck. It was in Troutville,Va.and i'm still trying to get a good picture of the red wrecker in Fairmont.I was going north when I took this one.This B-model wrecker is still sitting on rt. 422 near New Castle, thought maybe it was the one Ben had.Saw this backup on 422 too. Had to stop and wait on that big hill up ahead 3 times, with a load of coils on....and that's all I saw this week-the end.Oh, wait, I almost forgot the U-model of the week!I've seen this truck in Rustburg for a couple of weeks at a construction site, but I thought it was a DM. It was parked in the Food Lion parking lot today. Went in to get some ribs that were on sale and as we were leaving I yelled "stop the vehicle, that's a U-model!" ...Hard to believe it's come to that... 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

randyp Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 They turn the wheels on U-models to help stabilize them when not rolling, kinda like a bicycle. randyp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Funny thing is......all of these Macks had a side-stand. And all had their wheels turned slightly to the left. I thought it was for getting mud off your boots before entering the cabs.mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 The 32 year old Superliner doesn't look as "tired" as any of the newer trucks.It's a good old truck,but the cab is getting pretty rusty.i've known the truck since it was new,it's on it's 5th owner,who was also it's 3rd owner.The 5 speed was replaced by a 2090 so it scoots down the road pretty good.

Green Dash Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I was on my way home from Charleston Friday morning and saw the red B in Fairmont for the first time. It looks as if it's parked on Jarco's lot. I delivered there several times when I was doing P&D but never saw it. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I've been thinking about stopping to look at it but there's always lots of traffic around that exit, gotta climb that hill, didn't know if I could get a trailer in there, wah-wah-wah...You'll most likely have to stop at the light at the top of the hill where you would turn right because of mall traffic. It's also a bit of a tight turn getting into the (uphill of course) road to Jarco. I've been lucky and have always had room to swing a daycab and a 48' back around to the exit but if they're busy, it ain't happening.
