Oh all the trucks are individually getting repainted
Thet also had 2 of them Mack trucks that had like half a cab.... They were pretty cool but I imagine pretty old -
Goodguy88 Thanks this.

I did actually ask him how to double clutch, he said he didnt know, so either he didnt want to bother with it or wanted to keep it simple?
I think he actually knows, because he knows the trucks inside out...part by part...all the bins are fabricated by him including the truck parts (well atleast the ones he can get the shop guys to do without ordering)
He mentioned think of it as if your on a swing. When you get to top of swing thats your opening to shift... Lol I dont know if that was a good comparison -
Goodguy88 Thanks this.

What was that mack truck I seen with the half cab
The reason why he doesnt double clutch he said because it saves the knees, you dont need to be monkey...hes also 65 though...definitley knew what he was doing.... Let the truck roll, minimal shifting, he seemed like a really fuel efficient driver kept alot of space wasnt chasing lights...just let the truck roll to the light....actually he barely even used the break unless he really needed toostreet beater Thanks this. -
Goodguy88 Thanks this.

Pay your own taxes, pension, liable for their truck, paving equiptment, on call day and night, pulled out some ridiculous contract and asked if I had a lawyer. I just wanted to be an employee...dont know what the hell they were doing or what their plan was, possibly write me off at end of year, or smash their truck and sue me( air break were leaking, guy was happy to buy 300 lights for trucks but not repair air leak was actually pissed I noticed, truck shifted on it own with air breakes applied)
