57 bcr Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Mackey,was the R 700 on that brochure an Artim broker? I always thought it could have been. I remember seeing several day cabs hauling steel around Chicago back in the late '70's early '80's. Some companies that come to mind: Umthun,CW,CRST,Rediehs,Chief,all the big freight outfits with their "special commodities" divisions, and of course Artim. USS was running 3 shifts and pumping out steel like hell wouldn't have it! Al Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Lmackattack Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 I would not haul that load of steel out on a highway looking like that. I know it likely wont fall off but not on the highway. side roads maybe.... I get pissed when they load me with roof tin and nothing heavy on top of it to keep it from blowing around. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/28785-chicago-r-models/page/142/#findComment-389045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
