Popular Post other dog Posted March 7, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 7, 2014 I was doing the same routine this week, mill rolls from Petersburg to Milton. Not much new to see, so i'll try to have even more gripping descriptions than usual.Lot of snow still around Tuesday, but blue sky and dry roads.Saw some beasts-...and this thing-Saw this moron come off the ramp at a high rate of speed, hit the left lane,pass everybody on the highway,and was gone- all with that little donut spare that looked like a bicycle tire.Planes in the field.A house on the hill.Going up a hill on the W.V.Turnpike. The tunnel you used to go through is off to the left.Going west up North Mountain. Just to the right of that spot on the window you can see old rt. 60, there's a hairpin turn there by the spot. Saw this trucking terminal across the river from the turnpike. Smith's Transfer used that terminal, several companies use it now I think, there's a couple of Pitt-Ohio trucks backed up to doors in the picture but they're kind of hard to see.Speaking of trucking companies, never heard of this outfit before- could be out of Winfall.Saw this unit in the mirror yesterday. I thought it was hauling mail until it passed me, then I saw the tail gate and realized it was a chip truck. You can see the vent holes in the second picture. That's only the second straight truck i've ever seen hauling chips.I got to Milton about 4:30 Wednesday evening, unloaded, then had to wait until 11:30 yesterday morning for them to finish the roll they were working on. This one was ready, and the other one was part of the set. They said it was "urgent" so I waited on it, and they unloaded them in Petersburg last night.I bob tailed down to Sheetz while I was waiting to get a sammich. I picked up this little "Trucks for Sale" magazine while I was there, "Truck Round Up". Anyway, it had some interesting units in it for sale.This one in "Wheels of Time" might be the bargain of the day though- 7 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

41chevy Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The U model is how I remember MACKs from being a kid riding with my uncle in his moving van, A MACK with the diesel power stripe on the trailer.That TIT truck is a snack company, they sell corn tits, tater tits, cheese tits, wheat tits and such.

Vladislav Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 The most interesting question (for some of us) was that U-model or DM?I like those snowy and sunny road shots (as usual), the beasts are cool. At least no less cooler than the goats on the hill.And those B&W adds in the magasine - were they fresh or they'we just a history? 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34944-pictures-of-the-week/#findComment-236190 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsb502 Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 That thing is a Rhino ballast regulator that belongs to CSX, that's a Best Specialized truck it's sitting on. That's the stuff I work on at the RR, I've been talking to Best about doing some hauling for them in the TN area. Those regulators weight right at 50k.

Popular Post other dog Posted March 8, 2014 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 8, 2014 2nd Pic down is a Bandit Chipper. Not bad machines till they get the self loader then gutless. Morbark makes a great self loaderWestvaco used Morbark chippers at all their woodyards. The old ones had 12V71 Detroits and the knuckle booms with 50 or 60 levers on them, their newer ones had 600hp Cummins engines on them. They would both sit there and run wfo all day long every day, only stopping to change knives once in a while. I moved this one from Dillwyn, Va. to Parkersburg, W.V. with this F model Mack, around 1980.That picture was in my oldest photo album, here's a few more from my chip hauling days-"Corn Stalk"s V8 Mack on the dump. The dump is only about half way up, it was dang near straight up when it got to the top.Sitting on top of the mountain on rt. 60, east of Buena Vista, Va. I walked up on the bridge where the Blue Ridge Parkway goes over rt. 60 to take this picture.Sitting at my uncle's house.Sitting at the bottom of the mountain on rt. 130. I had walked down to the James River. I didn't always sit around, sometimes I actually hauled chips.Chip pile at Westvaco in Covington, Va.I used to have a hammock...and long hair. 7 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Smith's Transfer used that terminal, several companies use it now I think, there's a couple of Pitt-Ohio trucks backed up to doors in the picture but they're kind of hard to see.Pitt Ohio shared that building with Vitran until Central Transport closed it, immediately after the buyout. All of Pitt's doors are open and the rest of the building is currently vacant.
