66% of the week anyway...probably have lots of B-models, Superliners, U-models and hitchhikers by the weekend. All I got now is an airplane. 2 R-models a U-model...is that a Cruiseliner there? Looks like it. A long load. A large load. Maybe the best picture yet of the B-model wrecker. A Transtar in the mirror, behind my massive load of lumber.

I knew i'd seen it somewhere before.

G'day mate! Yeah, everybody likes Rob. I was sorry to see him leave, and very surprised.

No problem- ACME has everything, even helper springs.

Rob has apparently abandoned us for another truck site. Here's Rob's farewell address-

the redhead in the middle is beautiful!

ACME Towing Products- Wile E. Coyote gets all his towing products there.

here's a picture of me walking into the truckstop...

that's the same thing I do!

oh no- actually we're all paying attention.

must be- she's not even wearing sensible shoes to go to the scrapyard!

He didn't see any hitchhikers, but he did see this homeless girl near Youngstown. She was on her way to the scrapyard to steal scrapmetal, pushing a stolen Wal-Mart cart. I know it came from Wal-Mart, it had a bad pull to the right.

I wish I had 505 hp. I'd be halfway back to what I used to have.

Uhhh...i've forgotten that rule- is it "if you can see them,they are real" or is it "if you can touch them, they are real''?

Thanks for the pictures, sounds like that was a good experience for you. I figured out a long time ago when the road is that slick it's not worth taking a chance on tearing something up, or possibly getting hurt- there's too many crazies out there who refuse to believe the road gets slick, until they're in the ditch. I've loaded coils right over behind that Chevy plant a couple of times. One more thing you should have- a Rand McNally motor carriers road atlas. It shows truck routes and weigh stations, has a list of low underpasses for each state, requirements and regulations, etc. They won't steer you wrong. I think I mentioned the guy a while back- I was headed west on 460,coming from Petersburg. A guy in front of me asked me on the radio if I knew where this sawmill was where he was going to load lumber.I told him "yeah, first Blackstone exit,left off the ramp,it's on the left". About the time I finished telling him he said "oh,my gps says to turn here''. So he did. It was a little road to nowhere,barely wide enough for a car. We were still 15 miles from Blackstone,where the mill was.That was a few weeks ago, he might still be up in there trying to get turned around!

more vapor trails...chemtrails...contrails...boobies...whatever you call 'em.

.

oh, here's "the rest of the picture".

Yes, it's the same superhighway, but from Moorefield west it's rt. 48, 55 still exits at Moorefield and follows 220 to Petersburg where they split again. It's finished over the mountain from Moorefield now, trucks have to exit at Patterson Creek Road and run that down to rt. 42. It ends now at some little road that brings you out in Maysville. I've been across it coming east because there's no truck restriction coming that way. It's a skinny crooked little road, but it's only 3 or 4 miles from Maysville up to the new road. It'll be nice when they open the new road all the way to Mount Storm.

that's painted like the '79 I drove. I put a visor on mine though.

All I have is a faded handshaker. Try Hank's Truck Pictures and just search his site for Mason Dixon, i'm sure there's tons of pictures there. never mind...too little too late!

I got out the ol' GMC history book. These 800 series were actually made from 1958-62. The only engine options listed was either a 4-71 or a 6-71.

I did win the lottery today- $5 on a $5 scratch ticket...i'll be headed off to work tomorrow.

yes, it is indeed against the law.
