polracer01 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 No, it was ordered as an option with the dual air cleaners from the factory/ Kind of neat. I wonder how many were actually order this way.

hurstscrambler Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I wasn't serious, besides you must have some good employees already to keep your equipment in that shape. Well done sir.

Timmyb Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) I'd say that's a lot of guys dream truck. On the subject of twin air intakes, thomastractorsvc picked up one recently with them also. It really sets them off.

fxfymn Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Quote we as a company are very fortunate to have such dedicated drivers and not just steering wheel holders You sow what you reap. You must be a very good boss and a very good place to work. If the owners set the tone that they take pride in the equipment the employees will also. Most owners don't get it; if you are a good place to work and expect good behavior for all employees and yourself, good employees will come and stay while the shitheads will quickly move on to a less demanding place. 2 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

mackey58 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Kinda hard to keep them clean now but me and the other driver keep them clean and greased we come in on the weekends or early am to keep them running. I know some guys don't even know what's under the hood.
