    Change of plans. Now instead of getting a 2nd 34 on this load and delivering in San Diego Thursday, I get to drop this at the Rancho yard tomorrow and get planned on a load for Wednesday. Excellente¡¡¡


    And, I had my intro call for my next travel agent...a former driver named Scott(out of Washington not Wichita)

    If they want to put any more outboards on there, to quote the sheriff on Jaws "you're gonna need a bigger boat"

    Anybody see anything wrong with this picture?

    I guess permits for oversized loads are just for rookies...no signs, no blinky lights(not sure where I saw this, but the blinky lights might not have been required)...but he has definitely got an overhang, and possibly a height issue.

    I’ve come to like Kent brand overalls from Tractor Supply Co. They are light, flexible, pretty durable and come in a couple colors. I got black to hide the grease and dirt a little better. Also, more importantly, at least to me, they are cheap.

    Let’s see if the shop says anything about these. I can pull the lights and reinstall the factory lights and you would never know the difference. But it’s way to much work to do that every time I go to Arlington. The way I hid all the fasteners requires disassembling everything to remove them. IMG_5973.jpeg IMG_5969.jpeg

    As long as it can be returned to stock when it's time to move out of the truck, I don't see why they would have an issue with it. My 1st go-round with Crete I made some replacement alterations to the dash of my International so I could mount some phone accessories, and a direct connection to one of the connectors for a 12v socket for my cooler, one mechanic asked about it, when I explained how I did it, he just said as long as I return it to stock before I turned in the truck, there wasn't an issue and that was the last I ever heard about it.

    Saw this this evening in Roscoe IL, @kylefitzy it appears they haven’t caught this one yet…still can’t believe you guys transitioned into T680’s, but then again in 130K I have to transition into a Cascadia, well unless I can snag a Western Star 57x which is basically the same thing now smh.

    That’s a lease operator. Probably an old J. Grady Randolph truck/driver. They absorbed JGR last year sometime I believe.
