  1. I went on a secret mission today to look at some old trucks, and saw way more than I was expecting to. Saw all kinds, but i'll post the Mack pictures here in my gallery because there's so many. And an Autocar, Ford, IH, and White. Check it out, they're some really neat, and some rare old units! As usual,I got a duplicate. Lucky there's only one, a storm knocked the power out when I was uploading them and I had to start over. BTW, never seen this trans. before...
  2. where are you from, if anywhere? I travel around West Virginia, Ohio, and Pa. a lot.
  3. I was headed down rt. 1 near Aikens, S.C. this morning with a load of train wheels when I spotted an old Diamond Reo. Had to go to Jackson to unload and reloaded more train wheels at the same place. So when I was coming back I pulled over to look at the Diamond Reo, and saw some old Macks sitting around too. And an Autocar...took a few pictures, and didn't hang around long because I was pulled over on the shoulder. And, I saw this nice looking white SUV yesterday on I-85 north of Charlotte. When I was resizing the picture I accidently cropped it, and now I can't tell what kind of vehicle it is-dang it! Anybody recognize it?
  4. It is a good cause. I've been a member for several years. Just be prepared to get mail and e-mail every week, all wanting donations for one thing or another.
  5. I agree with all of that! That's what I like about Todd-even though a large national carrier with thousands of trucks- not at all unlike the mickow corporation- cut his rates on a couple of hauls right out of this area he didn't cut his rates lower or matching theirs. He'll park a truck before hauling things too cheap. And he doesn't force you to go where you don't want to. That's one of the reasons I left my old job after 25+ years, all the freight seemed to be going to the northeast. (The other reason was the dispatcher was such a tool.) I don't know if everybody up there in that part of the world is an a-hole, probably not, but a good part of them are! I remember one time I left New Jersey and had to cross over to the Philly side to load. I don't remember if it was the Walt Whitman or Ben Franklin bridge, but I handed the woman at the toll booth a twenty dollar bill. I was sitting there waiting for my change and she was waiting for the rest of the money. And that must have been 10 or 15 years ago. I don't even get on the Pa. pike anymore, and now they're talking about raising the toll on the West Virginia turnpike too. Guess i'll go back to running rt. 60.
