    In that case they shouldn't be allowed in places where they need a hard hat. If they show up and try to use that for a reason not to wear a hard hat ,they should be told to leave and don't come back.

    The guard at Special Metals ( Nickel Plant ) in Huntington was fuming!! Driver told him he was not able to put the hard hat over his head wrap, said it wouldn’t fit. They have a very strict policy there on PPE.

    They have an assortment of boots with steel toes and hard hats in the guard shack because so many drivers are not properly equipped with PPE, it’s kinda ridiculous in my opinion that a company needs to do that….

    The key tag and the original buyer are both in Illinois. Truck came Gulf Green in color according to the line sheet I got from the archives in Chicago. I replaced the hood and 1 fender since those pics were taken….

    There’s some things people just need to have the basic human decency to do well away from other people. I don’t even like to smoke within sight of children.

    But what else can one expect from the flip flop crowd? :rolleyes:

    There is very little cool old stuff like that up here in road salt land. You are fortunate to be able to find that stuff. We have a 2019 super duty with more rust on its frame than that truck has!

    I seen a video of the new out in Cali where the 21 year old wiped out. That ##### if a news reporter called them the back bone of the industry. Say what you want like me or hate me that made me mad enough to fight and I still ain’t over it. Fact is if that’s fact I’m out. I’ll park my Pete in the yard to rot

    Remember when Swift got in trouble for putting illegals through school in Memphis and “Hector” wiped out an entire family, got out of the truck and ran? What year was that…2008? What happened? Swift’s school got shut down. That’s all. Nothing happened after that runaway idiot killed those people near Denver.
    Outrage, debates, empty promises, sweep under the rug, on to the next story.
