Nice old shot.

The guy on the left seems interested in the tread depth of that left steer and they're sporting those clubs like they're looking to whoop some trucker butt. I see this ending badly.

That's the oldest truck I've seen with a Markel sticker.

I went by a portable on Thursday , I smiled, handed him my license , then drove away.

Anyone remember Barney getting a motorcycle from a WW1 Army auction and pulling over truckers for going 10mph over before a big hill in a episode?

That guy is good with numbers.

Can he help with my taxes?

I'd say that he would love to, but he's probably leaving LA sunday night to deliver in Orlando, Fl. Monday....he might get a backhaul and be up your way monday night

Jim,ain't that the truth. Sometimes you would look at 3 different Freightliners at a dealer and the radios were in a different place on all three.

IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!! Big John Trimble,WRVA
