Lets See Your First Truck!

Bought it a couple months ago and got my CDL shortly after. 450 N14, 10 speed and 150k miles. Seen better, but this one will do for a first truck and don't owe the bank a penny.

I also learned on an old 5 Ton. Great learning experience.

Thank you for your Service,

Safe Miles,

The old 5 tons were indestructible...we drove ALLLLLLLOT of miles with only 1 clutch job out of a fleet of 55 of those ... great trucks,Kaiser Jeep made them..they just don't make em like that anymore

 

1998 volvo 770 cummins red top 500 hp 18 speed.

 

Very nice. Mine is also a red top, do you know where I can find the specs for that motor?

 

Wow, so you bought your truck before you started driving or had a cdl? Did everything work out ok for you?

 

No pix of it,but it was a 1987 Pete cabover,with a 310 Cat and 9 speed.It was an old Transport America truck,which I bought reasonably and it did a good job for a couple of years.That is the first truck I bought however I drove several company trucks prior to that.I had it overhauled before I took posession,and I have no idea how fast it would run.But it would definitly keep up with the fast traffic.

 

My first truck & Trailer



2000 Kenworth W900L 3406E 550HP 18 speed, 3.55 rears, 22.5's OO spec, fridge, sunroof, couch, Seattle interior.

2000 Ravens 48x102 11/37 stepdeck, twin 36x24x24 boxes mounted between the spread. That setup worked awesome for storage, I had 4 portable winches so I could secure what ever I needed to at the back of the trailer, I liked it one heck of a lot better than the 18x18x60" boxes it originally had.
