That is a cool looking FLD and a nice low pro step

 

Appreciate that.!

This is my 2nd FLD, last was a 120 single screw with 42" flat top.. Lol
I know they aren't for everyone, but I've gotten quite comfortable operating them so will probably stick with one for a good while..

 

When I was hauling cattle down there I’d just hold up the yellow permit and they’d green light me. They can look on the computer and see if your over length permit is current, it’s just their stupid rule of having the physical permit with you. At least that’s how it used to be. 2016 was the last one I bought.

 

Here’s some pictures of pictures on an old computer from back in my early flatbedding days.

 

Putting barriers out on the highway again

 

I remember those from the LCM days. I went on the other day and was browsing. Was a cool forum for the time

 

That t800 is slick!!
I'm a sucker for most anything with a multi colored paint scheme, or stripes. Makes them all look so much nicer, & individual..

What happened? Seems looking back at trucking pics from the 70's, 80's almost none had just a single color. Too many wrecks now, & too pricey every time someone takes a hood off..? Lol

 

I haven’t been on there forever. Is there any activity or just the old stuff?

 

Part of it is the EPA and how they regulate the manufacturers, part of it is what the manufacturers will do. My boss’s trucks used to come from the factory painted and ready to go. Then the 05 I got was all painted except the hood. KW wouldn’t do the stripes on the hood and tops of the fenders anymore. Somewhere along the line they stopped painting the caps of the cab and sleeper unless the whole cap was painted that color. The 08 that I got was just a solid color when it showed up. My boss started paying KW in Missoula to paint the stripes in their body shop when the trucks came in.

 

nothing at all really, cool to browse the old threads though
