    Looks like a relic from the early 90's Werner days. It's definitely seen better days. On the other hand this truck was a vision to someone and it looks just as bad. 4139822730ba142244c6f04507f01549.jpg

    That guy seems to like the negative attention, I see him in the NYC area all the time.

    Looks like a jersey plate hanging off there. I've yet to spot that one

    then stay far, far away from the New Jersey Turnpike/port area, and I-95 all the way up to Maine, as a whole ...maybe just stay away from the entire eastern seaboard...

    Can hauler = cab and hood different colors, both doors yet again different colors. 3 out of 10 tires that match. Two completely different fuel tanks ,neither one came on the truck when new .One windshield cracked ,one door window dark tinted tho other side clear. Stacks bent .Little to no brakes. But 2 of them monkey butt antennas tilted way forward and a thousand dollar cb that can walk on everyone yet no body can understand.

    The OP's pic almost looks like a new truck compared to the West Texas oilfield junk they running out here. Bald tires, always at least 2 or 3 flats and its rare to see both mudflaps. Headlights duct taped in, no fairings at all since they get pounded off and if your lucky the grill is still in it

    Ya'll don't see the big picture do ya ? Them guys that drive quality trucks like that .. probably have more money rat holed away then you would ever imagine.. They treat those trucks as a Discardible tool.. run it till it dies and go find another cheap throw away truck when it does die .. They only invest money in fuel and food .. maybe alittle oil now and again..
    As mentioned in a earlier post its be going on forever .. when I 1st started driving 35+ years ago those Gary City steel haulers run junk like that bald tires wore out motors bent up trucks & flat bed trailers
    Most were cab over GMC & Internationals .. now its FLD & Volvos
    Their also the ones that Ya'll complain about hauling 1.80 pm frieght
    Most are happy to drive junk like that because its better living conditions then the bombed out building in some 3rd world country they were living in 10 or so years ago .. When a former Political leader offered them a free CDL & Citizenship in the US of A..
    The DOT isn't gonna bother them because they know its a lost cause & a wate of time.. and a fair amount of those drivers don't speak english...
    Iam not defending them at all .I'am just say'n .. make fun.of them all you want .. but their the ones getting the last laugh
