    Really?
    Except for my 65mph speed I am as fast as anyone out there in similar equipment.

    No, I only remember the 359 and 379’s back in the real late 70’s thru the 80’s, after that they went downhill. They where large car set up’s back in the days.

    Which is why I say a boat anchor.

    I did get passed by Swift once. Of course he was speeding in a construction zone but hey, he finally got to pass another big rig!

    No, those turn too tight. It would give them an easier time removing hoods. :laughing-guffaw:

    I think Swift is going to all Diamond Reo if I'm not mistaken.

    @shogun didnt you tell me that or was it Dimond T tractors they are using? Cummins 220 with a 5x4 and walking beam suspension.
     
    Cam Roberts, shogun and IH Truck Guy Thank this.
