Where is everyone #5

Tag shows 1968. It’s a military version which seems to be more valuable than a standard D7 to the dudes across the pond…..

 

The military color showing is a attention getter, as well as the back drag rippers and numerous military tags on it….

 

I remember back to my first year in trade school in the late 2000s. One of my classmates worked for a large logging show and he had them bring in their old D6 to the school. They bought the parts and our class fixed it. It was painted green like that. I wonder if it was an ex-military unit too.

 

Better now?

 

well finally just booked my first load for my new authority. have an over the weekend run in the works as well, just waiting for the broker to get back to me on the rate. which i know how that one usually goes. but hope it works out. load i booked is with a broker i have used a couple times in the past, so it settled my nerves a bit about getting screwed working off the load boards and the stories i hear about guys not paying. seems like it took forever to get to this point. but im excited as he'll to get out there as a free man... probably the most excited ive ever been about trucking, even since the first time i sat in a big rig and caught the trucking bug...

cant remember if i posted in here of the trailer i got. 2012 mg series trail king. paid 25k for it. seemed like good honest folks who i bought it from. trailer seems in good shape. aluminum deck is a little beat up. patched together aluminum and dented in spots, but the cross members underneath are all straight and not cracked and minimal rust... good working shape for now thats all i need... i bought the trailer on the idea that i had some business lined up with some relatives down here who needed help.. but seems thats being put on hold for the time being.. you guys know how that one goes... at the end of the day we always have to keep moving forward no matter what. thanks for all your guys help who ive asked 1000 dumb questions too. i appreciate it. im sure there will be more coming in the future.

 

I guess it was possible. It would have most likely had all the extra tags like this one does. Did it have eyes on each side of the track frames to attach the parachute….?

 

Congratulations!!! I hope all goes well and you prosper as well as enjoy your new venture….

 

Yea, just got home about 15 minutes ago, that helps lol. Gotta do it all over again tomorrow, there’s a backhoe and dozer down there that needs a ride next….
