BillyT Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Always check the crossbar when you hookup,rockin' it's not always enough😁 amazing how far those hoses will stretch! As for the turbans, used to be a freight outfit in California hired a lot of those guys might have been Indian owned!

There are a lot of those steering wheel holders with "Wrap Around" Stetsons pulling reefers out of the Bakersfield / Fresno valley.

They are giving Swift a run for their money. Looks like the sudden drop in speed run the load up to the head of the trailer they must be self insured I couldn't imagine a insurance company taking that many hits unless they have the same one harrys motor service had..

Popular Post ranchhopper Posted January 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) They give us a few hours a week to wash the truck if we have a wet week I have done it on my own time just a matter of pride in something you drive the more it stays looking like this the better I like it.
