hatcity Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 A) Okeechobee got nutin to do wid it. Although there are nigerians in Okeechobee, i don't think they are interested in spear parts. Oh the irony of that word He will send you a check for $200 over your stated fee, then ask to be re-imbursed for the overage. But the check will be bogus, soooo you are out $200. 1 Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29825-nigeria/#findComment-162488 Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmacktrucks Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 We are all guilty of this in some way or another. Back in the day when Petes and KW's began to enter the heavy construction world, we all opted for the nice new truck, with the A/C and the CD player We slowly but surely didnt want to drive the old dinosaurs anymore. I mean why sweat like a pig, get smashed around in a lumpy seat all day when you could cruise in comfort! Our bosses to whom which we worked for did what they thought we all wanted, bought nice new shiny trucks with lots of chrome, and yes CD players. Now that all the old iron is slowly but surely becoming extinct, we are all up in arms. Its just like everything else these days, technology is slowly but surely making the tried and true method of doing things obsolete. The export industry is what it is, a cash cow for old heavy iron that nobdy wants to run anymore due to emmisions, weight laws etc. We should be in some way glad to see the old Macks are still running and didnt end up being shredded and turned into Nissans. I agree, it sucks but ultimately it was drivers who made this happen. After all Petes and KW's are more pricey to maintain than Macks, so we cant blame bosses for buying them...they were bought to satisfy the driver who in turn would produce more money for the boss. After all, a happy driver is a productive driver. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29825-nigeria/#findComment-162489 Share on other sites More sharing options...

leversole Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I am suprised but "gin" is evidently a real person! He responded to my warning about sending private messages. He asked how to get in touch with people who might sell truck parts, I told him to post messages in the "Wanted to Buy" section...

Green Dash Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I got a reply: "if u dont have what i am looking for just die" Seems a bit drastic. On Let's Make A Deal, Monty Hall would simply go to another member of the audience if you didn't have what he was looking for.
