    IMG_9503.JPG IMG_9512.JPG 3 more older trucks... 95 W900L, 1974 K123 Kenworth Cabover, and a Freightliner with "Hell on Wheels" painted on the side :eek:. The young man with the Cabover has a brother driving an older Cabover Shaker, and their Dad drives a 1960's? Autocar..... every week! Y'all be safe out there.

    Morning Rank!, hope all is well in your neck of the woods. Actually the freight is finding me to be honest. This trip was $1400 on 470 miles round trip. Normally seeing about $2.26 + a mile. Only complaint I have is not enough time to wash the truck lol. Sadly I'm sure someone will begrudge me since I have no truck payment, no DEF, and no Elog. Oh well lol! Stay safe Rank!

    Gonna save up my pennies for a cabover, preferably a 110" Argosy. But you don't find many of those around anymore. They've all been shipped off to parts unknown.

    I went to a tractor pull yesterday. All old ones, nothing newer than 1955 I believe.
    Ever hear of a tractor called a SeaMan? Used for moving planes on aircraft carriers? It sounded like it had a 2 stroke detroit under the hood. That sucker would flat out pull. And smoke!! No worries about mosquitoes.
