    You know they still use those same trucks!!! Did you drive for Swerft? I want to say that was what the company was called.

    Which trucks the fire truck? No, this was my last year in. I was working with DOD civilians. My mos was 3531/3533 motor vehicle operator. The white ford was a gov. Vehicle. They weren't that bad really. Most had a 13 speed with a 3406 cat in them.

    Is it one of the end winches? Or is it in the middle? I can see someone playing a joke and sliding it off the rail, flipping the lock, and sliding it back on lol

    I've done that, and it really sucks when it's a bolt on winch and you just tightened it up.

    I was talking about the old white Ford. They probably still use those same fire trucks too. The Marine Corp uses everything until, well forever....

    Loaded up these bleacher frames in Chicago. Not a bad load except they put the 2 front pallets side-by-side and of course the materials slid and are now pushing on each other.
