my old FLD....oh how I miss her

Secondi Bros wow. You could go 1st class and buy a space at the Pilot next door. It was a dump the first time I rolled into it in 1976. The only improvement is they closed the restaurant.

 

I like my fld. It's also a 2000 but a detroit

 

I drove two different FLDs one had a Cummins the other a Detroit both were good trucks and comfortable

 

I see well preserved super clean FLD almost daily. Those are some nice trucks, they seem well built compared to the Centuary.

Used to be several running around the south that started their life with Poly Trucking. Still see one every so often.

 

Not the purdiest but does the job.

 

FLD for me was a good truck. I might venture to say that the living space inside of that one would be a gold standard of what all trucks should be at a minimum.

Ive seen the post Century models coming out and they were trying to have freaking tables inside that bunk back there. It's not that big to do that properly. For those of you who never see a 120, there is a table that slides out on the left cabinet. Once you are set on that bunk working the table it's all you need for all the paperwork there is.

 

I think FLD's were built a tiny bit better than the newer stuff like Century and Columbia. I've seen some cleaned up pretty nice.

 

It's awful close.

I have to stick a word for KW... they snuck in with their trucks. Freightshakers beat you up, that's ok KW does not.

 

I like the ones with the Peterbilt style sleeper. Not too many of them running around out there. But the look good.
