Where is everyone #5

Well, well, well. Guess who is going to Biloxi this weekend to Margaritaville? We plan on eating at The Shed too, so maybe we can get together. I’ll be there this evening thru Sunday.

 

Went out of business close to 20 years ago. The construction company I worked for bought some of their trailers at their auction for storage trailers. I still see them parked on their jobs, I know them because they’re the only storage trailers around with stainless noses and aluminum Peterbilt wheels.

 

They ran several brands of cab overs, I read an article about them that said they were so geared towards the F model that when Mack discontinued it and went to that newer aluminum cab cabover that Mack used as many parts as possible from the F model just for UPS on the trucks they bought.

 

Check out that Diamond Reo.

 

Blue Line truck stop, Worthington, MN.

 

Lol! I remember as a kid thinking "how do they fit in there? They must only hire little folks."

 

475 at least, Which ain’t bad for a Big Cam.

 

I remember seeing these trucks on the road everyday....

Overnight terminal was just off the Nitro exit, R model day cabs everywhere.....

 

Yes they had a terminal off the Nitro exit, F & R models were everywhere around here.....

 

A 15 speed is probably the best transmission out there especially for farmers who are in dirt, heavy, and need the deep reduction. But for me, I'll take my 18 where I can flip a button instead of moving the stick. Getting lazy in my old age.
