He said the old one was a Blagjaniwvich, or something like that. Not sure about the replacement.

Mine will keep doing it for several minutes sometimes. I just keep an eye on my air pressure when it does, but it doesn't lose any pressure and it eventually quits. so far anyway.

me too...mine does it periodically. it has ever since they put a new air dryer on it, but- but - I drive - I drive a ... I drive a Peterbilt.

I usually run 95, we deliver to N.B.Handy in Boca Raton right much. We took the turnpike to Homestead, figuring we'd miss the biggest part of the traffic, and came back the same way since we were bobtailing. We even had a woman in an RV flashing us coming back on the turnpike. I had my camera ready when they came up beside me, but decided it wasn't worth a picture- her boobage looked to be well over 65, and you could have pressed her face in dough and made gorilla cookies.

I don't know anything about the E9's, but the ol' 325 and especially the 375s were a "hawse" in their day as they say.

It could be, I heard he's been missing for a while. The story of the dinosaur-I was at the shop last week and said "i've been to this power plant before, you just go out past the Homestead Speedway and turn right at the dinosaur". Wildman and some more drivers were in there, and they'd all been there too but none of them had ever seen a dinosaur, as if to insinuate that i'd been hallucinating. I told them I did see a dinosaur, and i'd take a picture of it this time. Here's the proof. Come to think of it- that might have been Rob in disguise, and he might not have been there when they were there.

I saw a big lizard and a huge lizard. Also saw some small ones at a rest area, but I didn't take their pictures.

they definately have a sound all their own. I love to hear one running.

Me either, but I always wanted to be. And they are - I've had my doors blown off many times by V8 Macks. There's nothing like a V8 Mack with a straight pipe.

I didn't get it until I saw the viagra reference...what a man. lucky for you there's no power lines coming up in the immediate future!

the rest of the story-

Me too. Wow, nice looking trailer! I like the tie downs that you can move anywhere you want them. Mine just has the holes in the floor with a piece of chain attached and they're not always where you need them. They're for use with a side kit anyway, I usually hook my chains around the spools. I read that the stake pockets are the strongest attachment point on a steel trailer but the spools are on an aluminum trailer.

bad example of cut, copy, and paste- I could do better with more time, but the charcoal's about ready.

sorry about that...of course it's all Mike's fault.

oh. I just assumed it was a high load, and you should never assume anything.

Saw this oversize load in Colorado last week. It was the highest load i've ever seen- must have been well over a hundred feet high.

I'm sure Mike wouldn't consider me for that job- i'm not from Oklahoma!

I pull a 48' Fontaine Phantom spread axle. I've had a 48,000+lb. single coil in the middle of it and didn't break it in half. They order all the trailers with the coil package though. I like it fine, haven't had any problems with it.

that's right.

I think it was called a 711 because after the chief engineers had perfected this particular engine they said "hey,let's all go down to the 7-eleven and get a slurpee to celebrate!". While they were standing in the 7-eleven store parking lot enjoying their slurpees one of them said "what are we gonna call this new engine?". They all looked up at the 7-eleven sign...the rest, as they say, is history. That's just my theory.

I couldn't resist either-when i'm lost flyin' I get the old Rand McNalley out of the floor between the seats and take a look. Hasn't steered me wrong yet. Oh no- reminds me of a joke I once heard. Two best friends decided to join the air force. When they went to enlist the recruiter asked the first guy "what do you do?". He said "I'm a pulpwood cutter". The recruiter said "sorry,but we just can't use you right now". Then he asked the second guy "and what do you do?". He said "i'm a pilot". The recruiter said "great! I know we have a place for you-what can you fly?". The man said "fly? I cain't fly nuthin'". "But I thought you were a pilot" said the recruiter. "I'm is" said the man. "He cuts the wood, then I pile it".

I just passed thru Dumas last Friday on rt. two eighty seven. hmmm...nothing works on the top row of the keyboard. Looks like a trip to Wal-Mart tomorrow. 56-= well,5,6,-,and = work. That's all I need.

couldn't say,i've never pulled an East,but I see a lot of them in Ohio and Pa. East,Mac,and Reitenour-?-seem to be most popular in that area.

I got home from the Colorado trip Tuesday night. I unloaded coiled wire that I loaded in Pueblo, Co. last Thursday in Rome, Ga. Monday morning, then had to layover and pick up a load of 60' beams in Greenville, S.C. Tuesday morning. Got them off in Petersburg that evening and finally got home. Had to take the truck to Carter Cat because the engine light had been on for a week. I was supposed to leave today going to Homestead, Florida. I was gonna run double with Billy Bob in his truck, but he had to leave yesterday for Nebraska, so Otis was gonna go with me in my truck, which is fixed now...for a while anyway. Had to have 2 drivers because the load was supposed to go at 4pm today, and needed to be in Homestead at 8am tomorrow. But, those plans changed too-maybe because the trailer we're pulling hasn't even made it back to Lynchburg from California yet. So now we're supposed to leave at 1 o'clock Sunday and deliver Monday morning. I think we'll just drop the trailer and bobtail back but i'm not sure about that yet.

Thanks Mike, I will.
