That was one fine looking mixer you drove for Glazier!

That's not answering the question! There's a book by Ron Adams called "Mack Trucks" that certainly covers most, if not all, models of Macks, lots of pictures too. Another good one is "Mack-Driven for a Century" by John Heilig, which also has lots of pictures. There was never a K-model Mack to my knowledge, but there are U-models. So...do they have Outback Steakhouses there? Do you know Andrew? He lives in Australia. In fact, I call him "Andrew from Australia".

oh...yeah, well I guess that would be better than what I was gonna say about a piece of exterior plywood.

thanks Bob, do the same. I'm off all week on vacation!

Yeah, but not like that Schneider guy. There's some guy out of Wisconsin named Schneider, he drives a bright orange truck and pulls a bright orange trailer. Now he gets around, I see him all over the place.

I drove trucks for years and never had AC. Worst was probably sitting in the chip line in Covington in the summer in that Transtar, hot, dusty, sweating, miserable.I was young then, now I tell Jeff "if the AC goes out, the motor might as well be blowed up, 'cuz I ain't drivin' it!"... I am a pansy ass.

So that's why his name is Dozer- looks like he's about to doze off.

wow!

Nice pictures!..and yeah, there are are no more "truck stops". It's all about the tourists and 4 wheelers any more.

I like beavers too- used to have a "I Like Beavers" T-shirt"...oh, trailers....I have no clue.

me neither...

Oh, happy birthday Mack, and vtmack.

I like it.

I've always thought that if you start out pulling chips, logs, or a coal bucket you were a truck driver. I hauled chips and pulpwood for years, and you get no respect on the ol' cb for being a chip hauler, but if you haul chips over the mountain or drag a coal bucket through the hills on these skinny 2 lane highways, you're a truck driver. The J.B.CeladonU.S.ExpressSwift super truckers can kiss my ass. That's my 2 cents.

that reminds me of that prick on Ice Road Truckers that was "training" the guy from Missippi or Alabama last year. The brown nose, can't remember his name. The guy from down south has probably got more miles backing up than the brown nose has going forward, but they got rid of him so Lisa would end up with more loads.

...brakes locked up...tires smokin'...tryin' to git stopped!

well...shhhhhh....oooooot! Happy day late birthday.

you're right about that "stuck" part too. I was unloading pipes at a job site once, several of our trucks were there along with a couple of TMC's with super singles on the drives. They were spinning just trying to drive across wet grass, and we had no trouble at all.

Here's a pretty neat picture. Looks like it might be in Australia- I did not take it.

Jo was just watching This Week With George Stepanouplouidaplotamus on ABC news. They're already arguing about "is gun control the answer?" I agree with Michael Savage's picture. One law abiding citizen with a concealed carry permit in that theatre could have saved many lives. More law abiding citizens should be packing- would that nut job still have done what he did if he even thought there might be armed citizens in that audience?..probably not.

happy birthday Michael, Maynard, and friend. hope I didn't miss anybody.

Happy birthday!I'm gonna try to get that load of lumber to Oakland Md. today- the one that was supposed to have been there Thursday.

That's one reason not to get a big tattoo on your neck- if you turn to a life of crime you could be picked out of a lineup 10 years later.Jimmy used to drive for H.H. too. I stayed there until after H.H. passed away and they hired a dispatcher who was a total dick before I went 8 miles up the road. Jeff and Todd had wanted me to come drive for them from the start. H.H.'s son and daughter were running H.H.Moore Trucking at this time, and I liked both of them but I had no use for that sorry p.o.s. dispatcher. Before my wife passed away she said many times "as soon as Mrs. Moore (H.H.'s wife) is gone Larry and Bonnie are going to sell that place" And I always said "naw, I don't think so" Shortly after she passed they sold out to PGT. They had all the old trucks resigned with PGT and ran a few trucks out of the old shop for a little while before moving everything back to Monaca. Now the old building is an auto repair shop. H.H.Moore had been in business since 1946.
