other dog

they are pretty high strung. I saw a similar incident once where a driver was giving was giving the Swift driver a hard time on the cb radio. After the Swift driver got parked he jumped out of his truck with a razor, fully intending to cut the other driver. Fortunately no one was hurt because he couldn't find anywhere to plug it in.

I drove an International H.H.Moore had for one trip and it just didn't seem to shift right at first. It had a 9 speed in it, and I never bothered to look at the shift pattern on the dash sticker because I already knew everything. Then I happened to glance at it by accident, and what do you know- this transmission was altogether different than any 9 speed i'd ever driven, it had 4 in the low side and 5 in the high side, exactly opposite of all the 9 speeds i'd driven before. Never knew they made such an animal before then. So, even being as smart as i'm is, I still learn something new every now and then.

well, it might be more'n that, i'm guesstimating. I've put over 600,000 on it in 5 years. No record or anything, but not bad either considering how lazy I am,eh?

A cop is on routine patrol one day when he sees 2 Swift trucks pulled over on the shoulder. He stops to see what the problem is. He doesn't see anybody, knocks on both trucks, gets no response. He hears a noise over in the woods and goes to investigate. He finds one driver bent over a log with the other driver standing behind him, 'driving him home'. The cop says "what in tha' hell's going on here?" The Swift driver says "this driver was having a heart attack". Cop says "well that's not what you do if he's having a heart attack, you should give him mouth to mouth rescescitation!"(?) Swift driver says "I did- how do you think all this got started?"

crap...how boring...you should have gotten out of the corn field and onto the highway and opened it up, tested that splitter! You'll probably have to run it a while before it shifts really smooth, it's all stiff now because it's new. After a while it'll prolly shift like a Peterbilt with 735,000 miles on it...of course then you'll be wanting a Peterbilt...the story never ends...

True Ed, sorry to hear of his passing but glad he left you the R-model.

Old one...very old-why does Roadway paint the fenders blue? ...so the drivers know which end goes under the trailer. my favorite- why did the big R driver leave his wife? ...because he came home and found her sitting on a Trash Can, eating a Cornflake, with a P.I.E. in each hand.

I'm sure everyone has their own opinion.

Amen brother! (bulldogman) John P. Hughes Motor Co. in Lynchburg, Va. was one of the oldest Chrysler dealerships in the country. They sold new and used cars, big trucks, and were Cummins certified as well. They lost the Chrysler dealership, but fortunately they are still in business selling used cars and trucks.

no...we do not.

changing the subject slightly- here's some pictures- this is 4 pieces of steel, 10,000 lbs. each, that I picked up in Masury, Ohio and delivered to Craneworks in Pamplin, Va. An orange truck. My comments- "what's this Schneider truck doing in here?" "Oh- keeping with the vegetable theme, this is the pumpkin?" A yellow truck- my comments- "wtf is this, a bulldozer?"..."no, it's a short bus" "oh- keeping with the vegetable theme, this is a squash?"

"Yeah...I guess so" said the new priest.

damn, this just p!$$#$ me off- we need somebody that has a clue about the way of the world, whether it's Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, or somebody else- tax and spend, spend, spend some more just ain't gonna do it. "I want $450 billion to 'create' jobs...then everything will be fine-trust me". What a bunch of bull!

Again, you're absolutely right- the old story, tax the rich man who builds custom luxury yachts, he's rich, he can afford it. Then "hmmmm...why should I keep building these luxury yachts for other rich people, there's no profit in it anymore after I pay taxes, and I didn't get rich by being stupid- i'll just fire my 53 employees and retire." Then there's 53 people out of a job who apply for unemployment- and who pays for that?

that's what i'm wondering- who's gonna pay for all this shit he's talking about- no, wait, I know the "who"- it's the "how" I wonder about. And it's the ones that don't do a f@$#!^g thing in the first place that are all for it and cheering every word.

and don't drink and drive- no telling how much beer was spilled in this video!

accurate?..in that case, better ask for David, or Bollweevil, or Paul, or anybody but other dog.

I'm in too!

free advice, call any time, ask for Rob.

Maybe Larry will help you install a full roll cage, always wear a helmet, and you should be fine.

yes it would Bob, but i'd probably have to sell the place to afford it, then I wouldn't have a driveway. If the camper trailer was included that could work though, I could just become a nomad.

and union greed is a big part of the problem. The teachers union is so strong it's almost impossible to get rid of bad teachers, the U.S.Postal Service is about to go bankrupt because of former union contracts, i've mentioned before the dozens of trucking companies unions put out of business, and go to any union steel mill and try to pick up a load and see how long it takes vs. a non-union mill. I'm not anti-union at all, but enough is enough. People just seem to expect more and more and more for doing less and less. How can it possibly help a company stay in business and create jobs if they have to pay workers for doing absolutely nothing- "my machine's down- I could push that 'reset' button and fix it, but that's not my job. I'll have to call maintenance to come push that button. They're on the other side of the plant changing a light bulb right now, then they get a 15 minute break, then they'll be over to push the button and i'll be back in business. Meanwhile, i'll go take a dump and read the paper."
