Kr and g is doing a cell at laraway and Patterson rd WM landfill and one in Iowa too thought I saw a rd legend for Christensen also
The guy from KRG told me they had one starting in Missouri. They must be keeping busy digging big holes in the ground.

I had the same thing happen to me. I also had a 06 W900 and about 5 o'clock one morning I was driving along and all the lights went out,
headlights, running lights, and the dash. Luckily I was coming up on a gas station and swung in there to check it out. I checked all my
battery cable connections and everything seemed fine, so I started it up and everything came back on. I don't know if that actually fixed
it or if it was just a fluke. It did it one more time after that momentarily but never again. All I can say is check batteries, connections and
fuses. Electrical is always a pain, usually something simple that causes major problems.

With the color scheme on that truck I'm thinking that would fit in the StorkMack fleet pretty easily.

I still have my Super-Liner II brochure (still thinking about ordering one, hope its not to late) and there is picture in it of a scantily
clad gal that parked at the Flying J for the night after a 700 mile day and slipped into something more comfortable and headed
up to the second story to strech out.

I came across a picture taken by Bill Bedell of a gold/tan Wise Cartage Value liner.I thought it was a pretty
nice looking truck. I think he said he took it around 82. I was showing the picture to a friend of mine and he
said he had a picture of two Valueliners that were very similar that he took in the very early eighties at the
Milwaukee fairgrounds. He dug the pictures out and the two my friend got pictures were also Wise Cartage
trucks. It looks like they had a whole fleet of these trucks. My friend also had a picture of an unrelated
Superliner that was also at the show. There is also a twin stack Superliner behind the Valueliners.
Some cool trucks, wonder where they're at now?

I took these a couple months ago at the new cell of the WM landfill. Had a few Christensen trucks and others there that day.
Damn big hole in the ground. There was 40,000 tons of chips ordered to cover the tarp. KRG left all their machines there
because the bid is up for the next cell to start and I guess they have a bid in for it. It might start in the spring. Was a steep
hill getting down to the bottom, put it in 2nd and idle down.

Sycamore? Tenah said they were gonna get a new one but was prob gonna be a Pete.
Yes. They got a Granite. The DM was in the corner under a pile of snow. The DM also needed help, Tina said it wouldn't shift
into the high side any more, and had a few other issues. Also if you head in there in the spring there are some new changes.
They put in a new scale, scale house, and wheel wash. The haul road will head due west from the entrance. The barns and
house will be demolished for the new road. I've heard they might go to a badge system like McCook and Bartlett, but none of
it is up and running just yet, might be a month or two yet. Good news is the wheel wash is supposed to be like Lisbon's and
Boughton's where it just gets the tires and not all over the truck. Should be interesting.

Neat truck. Kinda looks like an IH bumper up front. Wonder if its on an old U-haul chassis or something similar.

Sorry to hear about that. Sad news for sure. My condolences.

Boy we can't even get our '90's Oshkosh 6X6 up on the hill, to water for us! That's a fairly new Granite, like you said.........must be nice! The "Out of Service" tag on it could mean several things as they are regularly inspected by MSHA (Mine Safety Health Administration). Could be as simple as a light out that could prompt them to tag it out. Either that or the said driver has not been tasked trained(often done by a dealer rep) on that certain vehicle. Who knows. Al
It dropped the driveshaft in the yard. I guess it came from another pit in TN and it sounds like they beat the sh-t out of it and sent it north,
so now the truck is in the shop getting patched back together.

Does anyone remember this yellow B75, this picture was taken at the Waupan Wisconsin 1991 showYellow B model at Waupan Wisconsin 1991.jpg
That must have been the first time they refurbished that truck. I have a picture of it from Walcott, late 90's early 2000's.
In my picture it has alum budds on the rear and a 48" Pete bunk instead of a 36". I think I like it with the 36" a little
more, seems to fit the look of the truck a little better in my opinion. Was a sharp looking truck though.

I hope when every one of those P'sOS gets to where they're going their 72 virgins turns out to be the male actors that were turned down for parts in "Revenge of the Nerds".
Family Guy had their own version of that a couple years ago.

Hope the feds don't see this story. They'll claim its an epidemic and
ban refrigerators,scratch that, double all tolls and taxesfor trucks that are equipped with beds and refrigerators due to their dangerous cargo. It's for the children!

I like the new thread idea. All makes and model included. There are several trucks from my area that just disappeared.
Got to wonder if they get wrecked, redone, or just parked in a garage never to see the light of day again. I have seen a
couple show trucks get totaled in bad wrecks in the past couple years. There was a cool W900 A model by me that
disappeared a couple years ago and I ran across some pictures of it in Canada pulling a 3 axle Landoll type trailer for
a land clearing service. The guy had it all shined up. At least some go on to a new life. I know my Dads first three Macks
all got destroyed after they were sold, and I would need a whole new thread to tell the rough life his first Pete had after
he sold it.

I found these pictures online of this former O'hare plow truck. It was for sale at auction and they had a little info on it.
It sold in July 2012, was a 1980 with 11,300 miles, vin-RM6114X1039 and went for $6,875.
