    that old red one does have an e-model in it. I swapped the a-cert out for a 2ws e-model. 6 months before I sold it.

    Yep and he wants to convert a road tractor to heavy haul. With that kind attitude I cringe at the thought of him moving something wide and heavy.

    Got parked yesterday. 10'8 wide, nothing major. In the middle of the night, a Crete driver noses in to my right and hits the right rear of my trailer with the passenger side of his hood. How do you hit someone with your hood nosing in to a spot? Mind boggling. That Hole broke my flag too. Out of everything that happened, the flag pissed me off more than anything. If there was scientific proof that an arse whippin was beneficial...

    Anyway, I think I saw ol @skootertrashr6, but he didn't gave his ears on. After all, how many lime green rigs with escavator's on the wagon could Valley be running ?

    2 haha my 4 axle 367 with a 3 axle trailer, sometimes 3+1. Then we have a 3 axle long hood 389 that pulls a 3+3+2 and when gets slow pulls any of our other trailers when a load needs moved.

    Usually always have my ears on, unless my grandma calls or my sons calls. Where did ya see me at? I was rolling between York, NE and Thackerville, OK yesterday

    Yesterday morning or night before? Where were ya parked? I rarely have my ears on when I am parked unless something going on like someone trying to park next to me or if looks like someone needs help doing something. I know I didn't turn mine on until I was almost out of the lot yesterday morning cause about got sideswiped by a couple boxs hauling ### out of there

    I totally give the guy credit for getting out. Some people would have backed up until it sounded expensive. I tried to give the guy some help. I got out and tried to direct him. We all have been in that situation. Just 2 nights ago, i got out to help a guy in Canada who couldn't get his "B" train in a parking spot. He almost took a guys front left fender off with the last half of his trailer. I had to run and flag him down in an Icy parking lot. My fault for not have a UHF (I think that is what they are using) radio. He got squared away nicely. The driver next to him was just leaving and made things easy for the guy.

    Oh and by the way, REAL truck drivers hang both feet out the window and hang them on the rear view mirror with the seat all the way down. I've seen that one done before. Lol...

    VHF radio but it's luck of the draw if we even have it on Ladd 1. To much garbage on the radio.

    Ohh. Sorry. Wrong one. VHF. Yeah. Like in the states, too much wrong conversations on the old CB. Not as fun as it use to be like back in the 70s.
