Lets See Your First Truck!

What could you get in the reefer behind that thing? Looks kinda heavy!

 

it was very heavy, but we hauled salad mix, so it did not matter.

 

The Cabin Over was my first company truck, the pete first O/O

 

Scania 143 (420hp V 8 - my first normal truck (except MAZ, KamAZ and other russian lorries).

 

well I have only driven as a company driver. I started out at Schnieder, so obviously i dont have any pictures of the pumpkins.

Then I drove/wrenched for a smaller company. Got to play with some neat toys, 8 and 6 axle dry vans and such.

 

I don't have any pics of our first truck '98 FLD 112 with a C-12 and Eaton 10 speed. Bought it from the company dad used to work for. Now we have an '03 Columbia with a 435 60 Series and Meritor 10 speed. We don't haul that stuff anymore though. She's pullin easy van loads for Dart now

 

thought i would post a pic of my dads first truck he owned in 1996 in june before i was born. he signed the papers at manitoba mack for a 1989 mack r686st with a 400 ( not the 350 ) hp e7 with a eaton fuller. although the kw is way nicer i just love this truck the most. this isnt the first truck he has ever drivin but its the first he ownd
