  1. I hadn't heard that, but that doesn't surprise me. I heard on the Howard Stern (yeah!) show weeks ago about Kevin Costner and his brother. Kevin Costner's brother is a scientist and had invented some kind of device that would clean oil from water, Kevin had invested most of the money in it, but when they tried to tell BP or the government about it no one wanted to listen to them. Then when all else failed they came calling. I just saw Kevin Costner on TV last weekend talking about it.
  2. I left the fuel stop at exit 7 in Ga. Wednesday morning a little before 8. I got to Ft. Lauderdale about 1:30 pm, unloaded at Steel Fabricators, and headed straight back north to exit 7 in Ga. That was an all day job, over 700 miles in Florida. Had to pick up in Savannah yesterday coming back to Petersburg,Va. I thought I saw you on I-95 near Ft. Lauderdale, but wasn't sure. Saw a big looooong stretch limousine but the windows were tinted so dark I couldn't see in. Summich was so long it's a wonder the frame didn't break.
  3. I haven't been there for 30 years, but I remember how strange it was (to me anyway) to look at the mountains around L.A. and you could see the lower parts and the tops-the rest was just completely blocked by smog. The loads are going to Avila Beach. The drivers that have been there before go to Bakersfield and come back south on 99 then take 166 back west to 101 north to stay far away from L.A. My truck drips a little oil too. Drips a little power steering fluid. I might just tell them I don't want to go, i'm still pondering it. I kinda do and kinda don't.
  4. I went all the way to Fort Lauderdale Florida, and all I saw was this blue car and a big Mack truck- and both were in Virginia. I'm hearing rumors that i'm going to California this week, but i'm not sure yet.
  5. wtf?...check out www.yousuck.com
  6. I found that picture on another site too-only funny stuff I can come up with usually involves Rob,Rowdy,or Double L.
  7. same here.I'm just joking,but i've heard rumors of those places
  8. saw this at the Wilco in Salisbury N.C. yesterday. Not the best picture,but a sharp looking truck!
  9. That's the place I was trying to think of. I used to subscribe to 4Wheeler magazine when I was mud bogging and they had ads in there all the time. My uncle had one that looked like the red one,with the sloped hood, back in the 60's-early 70's. It was olive drab colored. He was in the National Guard for years and I remember he gave $500 for it at the time, and it would go pretty much anywhere.
  10. Send the Terminator...
  11. I don't...mine's full of flash dat beaver and rate them racks

  13. well said! http://www.thedieselgypsy.com/TRUCKING%20STORIES%202.htm here's some good ones.
  14. Nikki will swing that sledge hammer for you-lure her with Jack Link's jerky. She's probably too old to fall for this, but when all my kids were small I needed some gravel in my driveway where I parked the truck. I ordered one big 24 ton boulder because it was cheaper and had it unloaded in the driveway. Then I gave all the kids a toy hammer and told them "enjoy your hammers-you can do whatever you want with them except beat on that big boulder in the driveway-I must be off now". When I got back there was nothing but a big pile of gravel where the boulder was.
  15. well, ,click on the smiley face at the top, ,and the emoticons should appear on the right of your post.
  16. job related?..no,Iknow,I know- you're engaged to the redhead in the picture!..got one in the oven there,eh?
  17. Old Bill sent me this hand carved Peterbilt that used to hang on his wall,along with this sign from Australia. I told him not to send me anything,but... I'm gonna hang it on the wall too,but I had to glue one of the stacks back on that got broken off during shipment.
  18. Actually I had just returned from delivering a van load of shavings (bagged,on pallets-not loose in the van like a load of chips) in Eighty Four,Pa. I came home empty because the return load back to Salem,Va. they had been promised had been shipped the day before (imagine that-some broker telling false doctrine!) and we had loads sitting on the yard. Might have been a good thing,since it was raining and the trailer leaked so bad I probably would have been up inside the van tarping whatever the load was. I got back to the shop and my flatbed was loaded with pipes going to New Jersey...so I went home. Unloaded the pipes on the ground Thursday morning and went to Fremont,Oh. with a load of kyanite and loaded 2 coils in Sharon yesterday going to Greenville,S.C. So there! Passed this odd looking unit on rt. 60 in Pa. yesterday-think it might be Freightrain but i'm not sure-along with a convoy of old cars and hot rods. Must have been going to a car show this weekend.
  19. had to be the bulldog,a b-model's not big enough for people to do much in.
