68-f-model Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 I am guessing the freightliner has a chopped top. How much was taken out? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/49557-waiting-for-dispatch/#findComment-368496 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Nope. That's a factory freightliner... They had rather narrow windows.

Mike Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 The Freightshaker looks better with the round headlights than the square. I've liked the Fords when they came out with the 9000's.

70mackMB Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 HA! Someone bumped this one. Rick picked up the CF '93 Freightshaker in Evansville IN in January and has been working on it since then. lt was used by CF to pull triples from the mid-west to CA. The '90 LN7000 Ford was a CF local truck he got from Black Creek NC back in 2010. And drove it home on Easter weekend at 48 mph!! We got the '70 MB Mack and a '58 Phalen 15T single axle low bed from Bluefield VA in Feb '15 and came home at 52 mph. He has one CF pup trailer as of this moment. We are headed to Peachbottom PA in the morning to get another CF trailer. Two weeks from now it's off to VT for a CF dolly and a look-a-like OVNT trailer for the MB. 41chevy...... Rick says the one in your post is For Sale in GA................

If that CF truck was a Marmon 110 inch COE it would be on it's way to my yard.

68-f-model Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 But it would fit in so well she might not even notice a fourth truck roaming the yard. Just paint it like the mack and never park them next to each other.

BillyT Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Thought I've seen everything but I've never seen that model,! What are the specs? Strangest tractor I've ever driven was one of those compact "cornbinder" Cabover with the five speed column shift wtf! Wilson Freight Mckees Rocks Pa! 249 extra list! Nice company to drive for one of the many victims of deregulation! Anybody see that Barnum and Bailey Circus just did their last show? Sad! I'll bet the flags are flying at half mast in Gibsonton Florida! For the uninitiated,"Gib town" is a small town where circus people live, performers, vendors,etc near Tampa Bay.

BillyT Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Speaking of big trucks with chopped tops, M/L transport(a division of Ryder) had some S model International tractors with chopped tops! I think they came from the factory that way! They were chopped so the headramp would be lower so they would be under 13'6" None of the major car haulers will permit a driver to leave a facility over 13'6" The first outfit I drove for had an an aluminum "stick"that you measured your load with.Leaseway had a metal framework with cloth strips that were set at 13'6" that you drove under.

Underdog Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Here's a picture of my chop chop top Volvo with a big load leaving JFK airport NYC...

BillyT Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Underdog,you got that right! Every bridge in New York state is marked a foot low except those in the city ( we mean it!😁 ) are those rental cars?

BillyT Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Underdog did that Volvo come from the factory with the chopped top? Speaking of car hauling anecdotes, Nu Car Carriers had a photo at their Ayer Ma. Yard of a unit the driver drove right off the end of the headramp AT I in Pittsburgh had a picture of an old 6 car rig that bottomed out on a rr crossing and got hit by a train! Fortunately the driver escaped! The units spread out over 1000 yds of track didn't!
