Had another one lay over on 88 in Curran's section.

This time total driver error.

I guess he came in from the live lane onto the job, and was driving in the dead lane. Wasn't paying attention and got the truck too far over and fell off the 3' plus core out for the shoulder.

It was one of the Gomez trucks. And last week one of his drivers was working for Curran in McHenry and when he got to the job he got out of the truck and forgot to set the brakes. And then it rolled into the back of another truck.

Think he might get dropped from his insurance.

So I guess one of the millings trucks thought he had to cut the turn really sharp. I gues it was so wide that other trucks were still able to go around him. He was loaded and sat there for over 5hrs to have a wrecker get him out.

My friend Eddie took this pic.

Saw a couple of thes RDs on Truckpaper down in FL.

They sure do look like old Marina Trucking trucks.

So my grandpa is Bill Steffenhagen, I'm sure several of you know who he is. He just got the old maroon SuperLiner that was a lease truck at one time repainted. I believe there are some pics of it on here from a few years ago. Marengo Auto Body did the painting. This truck has an E9 in it and a 10 speed.

That is AWESOME!!!!!!

Blue Parrot

I have the 350 now but liked the feel of my old 250 better

I just noticed. Did he add steps to the fuel tank?

That really sucks that they are leaving. The orange one actually looks like it was in decent shape.

I still say the Mongoose and Terminator trailers are the best.

I hand sanded my Terminator and rolled on and brushed Farm and Fleet tractor paint two years ago and still holding up great. Though next time gonna have it blasted to get more of the rust off.

CL 700

That guy works with us sometimes. Not sure what the deal is. Same company name on the side of the truck, but had license applied for plate and new driver at the beginning of the year.

A friend of mine spotted this yesterday in Lake Station IN. I'm guessing all these trucks are headed for a boat ride.

The only one I remember seeing around is the orange one. I think I have a picture of it from a year ago out running.

It stood out because it has square turn signals and somebody painted the horns orange.

That sucks!!!!!

You need an actual camera c,mon!

I know I do, but then I need someone to help me figure out how to post the pics on here lol

I'm guessing you took the pics of the blue six wheeler at Geske's?

Can't wait to see it

Are the gonna redo the R model eventually?

Yes for welch they are rebuilding me a newer RD so this is my summer driver the paint is really bad needs a good buffing and they don't want to put the time into it so I drive it around dirty kind of embarrassing but there is no sense cleaning it up when as soon as it drys it looks dirty again. Its really a pretty good truck but the mechanics bent the bumper backing it into the shop and the previous driver smashed the hoist oil and fuel tank in and everything is dented or scratched its a shame really it could be brought back to looking good again but Im told when Im in the other truck this will be a spare.

I see you driving by all the time. Keep meaning to take a pic, but I'm not as fast on the trigger as Petermack lol

Im driving an old faded out RD the only one hauling gravel with a 24 foot galbreath aluminum trailer.

Welch Bros?

Peter Baker was hauling mix out of Curran DeKalb today and had their '72 R model there. The guy said it drives great.

Forgot to get the specs though

I saw some of you guys out there this morning while hauling stone from Hampshire to elgin saw the white CH with the live floor trailer backed into the paver when going through the intersection.

We are on ch17

Though we are usually staying out side our trucks cause it's not very fast passed over there. Lol
