If I had to guess they are all going for a boat ride. Not sure where the big blue six wheeler is headed. I spent Monday night at the Flying J in Lake Station In and I saw the Ch and r models parked there and on Thursday I was headed out to Portage In and saw both sets headed east on In toll road.

I must have just missed you at the Flying J. I rolled in there around 9 A.M. Wed morning and both sets of piggybacked R models were still parked over by the truck wash. they did not look all that bad but I did notice a huge oil leak on one.

PeterMack Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Saw this long R model sitting in Crystal Lake. I'm thinking yank the flatbed off and put a fifth wheel on it and have an extra long WB R-model.....just saying, might be cool. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/122/#findComment-340519 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Occasionally I like to showcase some of the junk that is running around our area. These trucks caught my eye in the last couple months. I'm sure the drivers on this forum will spot the issues these guys were having. Can't believe these guys don't get stopped. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/122/#findComment-342574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackey58 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 That's just the tip of the ice berg.yourself just like me see a TON of shit trucks tailgates leaking spread pans full of stone or clay. Mostly the new breed of dba mbe rate cutting clowns we gotta be on the roads with. I personally love the ones who letter the name on the door with a sharpe marker.class act.the new breed the pits love well gotta do my walk around and make sure everything works so I can get stopped for a license plate out 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/122/#findComment-342594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
