I wonder if they tighten the straps every time they stop.

here's another one- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/110735974004

...or not-

Hi there Paul,glad you dropped in! I know I speak for everyone when I say we've missed you...much like vision386.

Hugh Rowland is driving a Mack dump truck while his truck's being serviced on Ice Road Truckers.

uhhhhh........couldn't say........I took it on the Minneyapperlis turnpike at the tollbooth. I just turned the "capture sound" thing on on my camera. It doesn't actually record sound, just prints what was said when you download the picture.

Kind of slow around BMT today, eh? well, I went to Minnesota last week. Took this picture at the toll booth on the Minneapolis Turnpike.

very odd for him to be away so long. i'd give him a call if I had his number. we might have to form a posse again and go look for him.

We got pretty much nothing here- a little wind, a little rain. Barely enough rain to settle the dust.

carpentry work?..you ain't seen nuthin' yet-

That's a goodern!

These 2 Fords are sitting on rt. 460 east of Petersburg, just before you get to the Food Lion distribution center. Don't know if they're for sale or not, but they're pretty neat looking old trucks..

yeah...hilarious...

It's well worth the trip, and he's as nice a man as you'll ever meet, doesn't mind people looking. He'll even give you the tour if he's not busy. I heard about all the trucks from one of his drivers so I called him one day and he said come on by and look all you want.

Double Diamond tried to sell it for a long time. He pretty much told me "just make me an offer". I probably could have bought it for scrap price, but he finally sold it right after he said that. I was both sad and glad, sad that I didn't buy it and glad because he really wanted to sell it and I didn't really need it.

Yes it is. I almost bought that truck.

Hi Speed, long time no hear from- you been working on a project lately, or goofin' off?

yeah, this is great- warp speed! I didn't hear David say that he could pick on people four times as fast though.

Thanks for the clue- I sniffed out their website and looked at some pictures, but they were mostly working equipment demonstrations. Didn't see any of strictly show tractors, which is probably what I saw was. I met a four wheel drive John Deere with chrome all over it, and a 1468 IH V8 with 2 chrome stacks too. I was even gonna stop Friday where I first saw the sign because I thought that's where the show was, but there was nothing going on there-except the sign! I loaded at Independence Tube in Marseilles Thursday night.

All quiet in Gladys...Other dog reporting-film at eleven.

I was passing through Illinois,minding my own business,when I saw a sign at a farm equipment dealer about an antique farm equipment show this weekend. It was at exit 197 on I-74, between Champaign/Urbana and Danville. Just wondering if anyone knew anything about it because after I saw the sign I met some great looking tractors -not even sure if that's the show they were headed too,but I saw one in particular parked in a rest area that I was trying to find a picture of. Looked like the Minneapolis Moline model with the full cab on it, but this one was red and looked like a '50 something Ford pickup truck. Same grill and front end, cab sitting back over the rear wheels.Really neat looking! I don't know if it was a Minneapolis Moline somebody put the Ford truck cab on, or something someone built in the barn one winter.Wish I could have gotten a closer look at it.

I've heard rumors of such a place too, but I'm not sure where it is. I travel 15 quite a bit and there's nothing you can see from 15. You can turn off of 15 south of Fork Union to get to P.L.Duncans place, and he has about 100 or so old trucks, but i've heard there's another place too up in that area with a lot of B-models. http://rides.webshots.com/album/572065624hKgZmm These are trucks I took pictures of at P.L.Duncan's a few years ago.

I didn't even feel it, I was near Covington, on the way to Minnesota. Jo called and said it shook the house here and rattled bottles on the table. One of our drivers lives in Louisa and it knocked 2 tv sets off his walls, dishes out of the cabinets, and cracked his foundation. And his homeowners insurance didn't cover earthquake damage.

good call on "fixin' that post"!

That's what i'm talkin' 'bout, strength in numbers! I usually get fuel at Truck World in Hubbard a couple of times a week. Been loading in Sharon a lot lately, probably be there tomorrow.
