milk tanker

Are you driving a 10 speed?

 

Its.a 389 with a cat like 8 or 9 speed setup top gear is 8 but in 8 you can get up to 75mph not that I do 75

 

Grew up on a dairy farm them milkmen are some of the finest guys you will ever meet.

 

I would say the same about the farmers...been a long time ago but i still remember all of them..even stopped to visit a couple of them a couple years ago...they were great people, treated me good ...roll in there christmas day most of them would leave you a little something on top the tank...same on thanksgiving they would invite you in to eat dinner with their family...the american farmers are great people...loved the ''B shippers esp the guys milking 15-20 head would treat you like gold...( some of the guys milking 400 a day had a little different outlook)...but all in all they were great people , i really miss that job..

 

I even miss that old two stick mack...no onboard computer,nobody cared about your over revs,brake apps...no tire inlator beeping..wouldnt go fast enough to get you a speeding ticket..had to turn up good old wlw on the am loud as you could cause the straight pipe on the exhaust..windows down,roof vent open and cowl vent open cause she didnt have ac...duct tape on the drivers seat and 2 speckled orange pistol grip shifter knobs...life good and care free back then...black smoke just a pourin out the stack....

 

I now drive a smooth bore tanker, hauling paint resin, and other stuff..it will teach you how to shift lol TRhere been several times Ive surged and pulled it out of gear, and on a hill. while surging hard...forget about it lol
