Popular Post other dog Posted October 26, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2013 I only made one round again this week, but it was a pretty good one...except for the New Jersey part. I took a load of beams to Webb, Alabama then loaded some of those green boxes of landing mats in Enterprise, Al. going to Lakehurst, N.J. Both were pretty good paying loads, the Webb not quite as much as I expected, but the Lakehurst load paid a good bit more than I expected.Took this before I went to load in Petersburg Monday morning when I went to pee behind the trailer was doing my pre-trip inspection. Reminds me of the Transtar I used to drive with the VT903. It smoked like this when it was cold.It was actually coming from the chimney at the shop. No telling what they had in the stove, they put anything that will burn in the stove, even wood sometimes.Saw this train just before I got to Appomattox.Saw this super camper on I-85 after I left Petersburg.Some bullnose Kenworths just east of Montgomery, Al.B models near Auburn, Al.A T800 that's neither blue nor blurry.Green boxes of landing mats in Lakehurst. Good thing I got there when I did with 16 more, they might have run out.Saw this at the mill in Petersburg yesterday when I was loading for Neville Island for Monday...your guess is as good as mine. 7 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Brocky Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 The Bullnose's have been there for the last 20 years. There is a blue/black third one that moves around once in a while. A few years ago someone on the ATHS site checked them out and the owner thinks they are made out of GOLD!! The B models have only been out about 5-7 years. They yellow one was originally a mixer/dump. Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack mhe9 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Had a cummins 444xt that smoked like that when cold. Oil advanced timing or something like that. Nice pics. Just spent time in Sutherlin VA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 If the smoke didn't burn your eyes then it probably wasn't a Meth Lab. I just wonder if the former President of the ATHS from Alabama knows of the B Models?mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'm thinking about buying a Smart Car, just so I can beat the hell out of it with a baseball bat.That's my favorite shade of blue on the T800.That's the most Bullnoses'(?) I've seen in one location, outside of a truck show. I like the Silver Eagle bus. I think the round headlights would date it to the '70s or early '80s (??) 1 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 You went to Lakehurst and you couldn't swing by for a cup of coffee? I don't know where Hellertown is, but I lollygagged at Opal until 11pm, then hauled ass to Lakehurst when there was little traffic on the road. When I left I didn't stop until I got to the truckstop on 301 in Maryland, then I ate breakfast, lunch, and dinner and took a nap until the beltway traffic was pretty much gone then I hauled ass to Petersburg. Fortunately I don't have to run northeast very often, but when I do I can't get away from there fast enough! 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

other dog Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 I should be almost to Pittsburgh now. I got to the shop about 11:45 and my truck wasn't there. The washer guy had it down the street washing it. I waited about an hour and a half before he finally brought it back, then the landing leg on the passenger side of the trailer wouldn't come up. We wound them up and down and got it most of the way up by lifting it as someone cranked the handle. Apparently the gears are stripped on that side.Then I was worried that it might drop on it's own as was motoring up 79 about 200mph, so I put a 2'' ratchet strap on it to hold it up. That didn't really look so good, might attract attention from the wrong people. So I called Jeff and 'splained the situation and asked him what he wanted me to do. He said he'd get them to fix it in the morning and just to wait until tomorrow to go, so I left there peeling rubber in the Ranger and came back home. All because the truck got washed. 1 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
