Where is everyone #5

Who needs an ISX when you could have an M11 HAMMER!!! Lol But thought you'd see it somewhat interesting being a glider. Think Gully has a few FLD's titled '06 also.?

I find it very interesting even 5yrs ago a new painted to match FLD cab could be had. That is awesome.! My cab & interior is really nice condition, but having a fresh 3 color match OEM paint one set aside would be killer.!

Do they run Canada?
Or is the big drive spread recognized on the US west coast for more weight.? I'm somewhat aware of the 105,500lb 8 axle rigs out your way, but not up on their specs..

 

Here's the pic. Same here. Down low around around 1300-1400 it'll heat up to around 1000-1050 but up top it's about 850 max. It'll hold right there at 1350-1400 forever but I don't feel comfortable doing it....... Probably wouldn't hurt it since the maxidyne versions are spec'd to run there.

 

Half of the folks that live in the cove are in the elderly age group but we have good folks that live here. They make sure everyone is checked on twice a day. No one goes without a hot meal, a ride to the doctor or whatever else they may need. We have become the family that they can rely on.

There is a lot of wisdom in this group. I hope that the younger folk take a minute to hear and remember this wisdom.

I am sorry for your loss.

 

Yeah, they do run in western Canoodia
As for if that spread is recognized here in the Western States, I don't know as I too am only familiar with the Maxi set ups.

 

he spread on the axles will
Get them slightly more weight on a non-divisible permit - 4-7 spacing versus 5-0 spacing on a tridem is worth about 3k extra at max on the correct weight table in the northwest area

 

Zoe’s big adventure

 

Day 2 of the "Great Truck Camping Expedition at the Pioneer Villa in Halsey, OR"

(Because I'm an idiot who didn't plan accordingly)

One of the other natives accosted me for small talk conversation while I was topping off my coolant after fixing a minor leak that popped up. I forget that these "Truckers" are a lonely lot sometimes who will talk to anyone they see.

I entertained him for about fifteen minutes before throwing a cookie for him to chase so I could finish up what I was doing.. I think I may have heard him going 'GOLLUM GOLLUM" at one point. Weird.

I am now chewing on the leftovers from last night's meal.

Got woken up last night to what I could have sworn was rave going on, but I think it was a reefer that didn't sound quite right.

The grain truck has been replaced by a Swift truck. I pray for my hood.

 

I may complain about the cold way up here but at least most of the stuff that can take you out can be seen from a few hundred feet away in most cases.

 

The 60 and 72 inch spread did allow you a slightly higher weight on permit loads. This was in the 90's and seemed to be mostly the former WRA multistage permit states. That has been superseded by WASHTO

 

Gully had a terminal over in Huron Ohio. Towed alot for them. Davidson in Bradner Oh still runs a fleet of FLD. Has there own bone yard and keeps rebuilding them. Most look better than new now.

I'm stretching, Poly trucking in TX might have had 09 daycabs. But it was big orders. Maybe general orders stopped in 03.

Nothing was standard in trucks till recently. 2007ish KW executive told me they would build a k100 if you paid 50% down. No was not said.
