Where is everyone #5

Yes sir 30 to 40 to 55! Was taking it easy today. Can't unload until morning and it being Sunday and all. Except for chasing rain that's a nice little ride up thru there.

 

You didn't miss me by far. I come across US 60 to 55 to 40 yesterday

 

No but I tried hard to own it lol. It belongs to a freind who after letting it set for a few years is getting around to fixing it. It's a very nice truck, notice the orange frame? Paint is weathered on the sleeper now, and the yellow color is bleeding through. It has a connection to Montfort.

He drives the white A model in the pics I posted last night. I was helping him on a transmission couple years ago when he ask me, Jim, do you know the first time I ever met you? No I replied. He then continued.... he said I was kicked out of high school for a few days, so I hung out at the Bus barn. One of the Bus drivers owned a 1978 cabover aerodyne Kenworth, Mr. Gue was his name. Yep I knew him I said, yes you drive it in to the bus garage one day I was there, mechanic put a wheel seal in so you could take a load to Texas.

Funny I had no clue who he was at that time, and years later we meet up again still not knowing him and now very good freinds. That was in the earlier 90's when all this BS about cdl's was hot and heavy, I was driving this truck, with a chauffeurs license. And no power steering.

 

Same profession different trailer for today...... y'all be safe and have a great day.

 

This is the first time I can remember seeing that style rim chromed. The steer looks really sharp like that. So does the whole Truck.

 

You and Board Hauler have me yearning for the good old days this morning. I got on the scene a little too late to actually participate in the " good old days ". But that's okay, I'm just gonna have to remember that today can be a good new day if I try.

 

Morning fellas.

Bought to go see if I can score some blueberry pancakes..

 

Morning

 

Haubstadt, Indiana waiting for my daughter from Paducah to get here and pick me up! Hanging with her for a couple days! Yay!

 

I was gonna take today off from trucking and go get a fresh medical card. Guess I’ll set out here in the rain n get money instead.
Been a while since I pulled this wagon. Ever thing work like it should tho.
