Appreciation of elders

I miss my hood....

But I do like my T660... they say the faster you go the more aerodynamics come into play.

 

Not in my world.

 

Mine either.... but I'd like to think so, right?

 

Just keep this in mind: Takes a special kind of stupid to plan to run 5 million miles in a career.

 

I hear ya

 

Haha 20 years from now Bruce will be dust..u know he's almost 70 now.

 

I agree...been out here since 1985. Bunch of re tards driving now.

 

I'm being conservative. Most us bullhaulers do 150-200k a year. I know most freight haulers struggle to do 120k on average though. The only thing a long hood brick of a truck tells me is that you don't know how to run a business. There is no upside to them except better cooling capacity which can be accomplished through wider grills on sloped noses and 4 core radiators.

Aerodynamic trucks are more cost effective to purchase,insure and operate. Their increased visibility makes them safer and easier to operate in challenging situations real drivers get into. Their set back axles makes them flat out better when it comes to the turning radius. I've been to many ranches that a stretched out Peterbilt is not able to get into. He just has to say I'm sorry, but I don't have adequate equipment to perform this job.

And if your obsessed with hammering down an Aerodynamic truck can go faster than your flat hood truck because he has so much less parasitic drag. You literally need gobs more power and fuel just to keep up with the aerodynamic truck.

The whole glorifying of the brick trucks blows my mind. Your literally paying a massive premium for a truck that is inferior in virtually every way because you think you look cool, but theirs so many trucks just like yours you might as well have a Cascadia. OMG a Pete 379 I've never seen one before. I mean FFS seriously guys.

 

If you've read any of "sixes" post you know he doesn't live in the same world as the rest of us. He's a legendary trucking warrior on par with mad max in his world and we all soley exist as an audience to the epic performance that is his life.

 

Get yourself an education and a real job hand. You are just spouting off opinions that you heard on late night talk radio or read in a magazine. Size if the hood had nothing to do with running a business
