What’s Up With Extended Frames?

Do our own loading and most unloading too… and yes the jack and load bars are painted to match the truck

 

How do you keep the jack charged if it stays in the truck ?

 

fight everyone else for an outlet on the dock while loading, or I’ll run a cord to it it at the house, if you pull the battery plug it will actually last quite a while, not like it’s getting used 8 hours a day every day

And always make sure it’s behind the bulkhead with frozen on

 

@abyliks
Here’s a couple from same location on quiet afternoon
Middle pic just for comparison White 379 in background is 285”wb and pretty much fits inside the other 2

 

Is that the east side of 222 off of 30? I load for the other guys west of 222 on 419.

If all I did was stay hooked to this fridge I wouldn’t mind a little extra frame but if I have to hook to my bucket or the low bed I’m pretty happy I’m only a 282”, and IMO much over 310 it does start to look goofy unless you have the right guy making it all flow correctly, but some of them just seem thrown together and just dont look right

 

Volvo Autocar was one tough SOB. I'd place it on the same tier as the old pre-Daimler Western Stars.

They didn't look half bad if you dressed them up either. Full huck bolted frames. Never had constantly cracking crossmembers like Kenworth had either. They were heavy though but that's the price you pay for a bush spec truck.

 

Ok
Took closer look at text of pics....and I recognize my mistake and see you’re at the one west of 222...Where I haven’t been in couple years
While my pics are in fact from the one east off 222....
We’ll leave it at that fer now
