When you hire scumbags....you get.........wait for it.........wait for it.......wait for it.............

....................scumbags!

Like the article said.....Who do you want representing you out there and interacting with the customers-

Mr. William Beendrivinglongtime who is clean-shaven, dressed neatly wearing work boots, gets out of the tractor with a pair of gloves and the documents on a clipboard and says "what door would you like me to back into, and what can I do to help unload?"........, or do you want Habeeb wearing shorts and flip flops and demands that the customer unload him immediately?

Couldn't agree more. I would't be a very good recruiter for a big company because I wouldn't give these lard butt, foul mouth, smelly turds the

time of day let alone stick them in a $200,000 truck/trailer and send them out to talk to my customers. The big fleets are their own worst enemy!

Need to find a nice 1/50 lowboy maybe an 8 axle to put my jd470 excavator on

Plote had a nice 1/50 scale truck made last year and Catom had one made a couple years ago. I bought a few of the Catom trucks but they

don't have any left. Keep an eye on Ebay, they can pop up but not too often, but there are definitely other options if you can't find a local

company truck.

Got my 1/64th Sid Kamp Granite and lowboy yesterday. I put the R-model on the back. Will save a little shelf space that way.

Saw this RD yesterday. Had "Rat Cartage" lettering on the door. Seems appropriate from the looks of the truck.

Even came with a custom sideways dog on the hood.

Hoping to be doing that soon hopefully it's an early spring

Have you been parked for the winter?

The quad axle looks like a Richard Hribar(Ry-bar)or Hribar Sand & Gravel truck. The Hribar family has been trucking around S. Wis. since wheels were invented.They were known for rebuilding trucks several times. Looks like they're still at it. That DM looks to be around an '86 or older,as they extended the front end to accommodate the CMCAC (starting with the '87 models I believe). Somewhere I have a picture of that Floyd's B-67 wrecker.Nice pics,Brian. Al

Thanks Al. That DM was definitely a Hribar truck. I figured someone would have a picture of that B outside. Must just be a garage ornament now.

I'm a young man and for see being royally screwed the rest of my lifetime from government over spending and over taxation.

I'm right there with you. I have a ways to go yet and it feels like this country has been on a down hill slide for the past 20 years.

I'm sure it feels like longer for others, but the steady decline has been in fast forward since the early 90's and doesn't seem

to be slowing. Not sure what the answer is. I'd like to keep a positive outlook on the future, but I'll probably be working till

I'm 115............just to keep insurance and have some groceries.

did you see the steel hoods in the Hillside yard? you will spot a old B model in there as well... I was in there last week and saw all of them parked in there tight for the slow season.

I haven't been by there in awhile but I did post a bunch of the B-model pictures a ways back. They still have some cool stuff hidden away.

A friend took this last year. Looks like this Marina truck was having a little bit of an issue.

Yep. Looks like we have some more time in there yet. I think there is at least one more building to knock down.

RB tree truck.

Cardinal Health on Waukegan rd.

The red RB is a CLK truck, Kirschoffers daughter runs the CLK trucks. You were up in my neck of the woods again...

Yep, been up there all month on a job in Waukegan. Just not in my red/silver truck. I'm hiding in a black/red Pete with a bigger dump trailer.

Saw a Lima RD six-wheeler the other day on 41 and I saw an RB going over the scales on 41. I think the RB might be from Wis

but I'm thinking former Lodesky truck?

S&H lowboy I saw over the summer picking up leftovers from a Prairie plant that is no longer in use.

Got a wave from Jimmy V in the Curran lowboy last summer.

Would like to find my Dads old Value Liner someday. Or remake the R-model from the Road Warrior that pulled the

tanker. I figured somebody would have done that already. If either of those don't pan out a nice E9 powered Superliner

will do the trick.

I took this back over the summer when the plants were still green. Went by this farm between Dekalb and Waterman a few

times and saw this Value Liner with a decent wheelbase on it. I think its just a yard dog for hauling pig slop. I would get a

closer pic but it was probably a 1/4 mile off the road and I was moving. Turned out ok.

I took these pictures about two years ago of the Remmer/Shultz R-model. Was at the ethanol plant. Forgot I took these.
