  1. Dekalb. There are two buildings there already and they are putting this one up. I think they are moving out of the facility on Barber-Greene rd which was the old CAT challenger plant and before that the old Barber-Greene paver plant. I think they wanted all there buildings right next to each other.
  2. This picture came to me in an E-mail, I have also seen this truck pop up on Facebook. Don't know who it belongs to, but I like it!
  3. Saw these two Sjodstrom trucks working on a bridge repair on rt72 about a month ago.
  4. It's gonna be a huge new building for 3-M. 42 million dollar project. We took in 60,000 ton of CA6 for the building pad and I bet we're gonna be close to that much CA7 for the plumbers. Most of the pipe came from Welch. I bet we have a couple more weeks to go with the plumbers yet. Spent Mon.Tues and Wed there. Hopefully the weather will hold. I think in the spring we will be back to do the parking lots.
  5. Those are Weidner Farms trucks. I have a couple pictures of the Superliner posted way back somewhere. He said its got 1.2 mil miles on the clock. One owner.
  6. I'm just gonna take a guess, your talking about Tommy Powell. His new trailer looks nice. I don't think they are giving those E-Pak's away. They came with a hefty price tag. I see they are making the big trailers as well. Saw a couple at Louisville this year.
  7. I think they just over promised on the delivery date. It came in a month later than expected but otherwise I think everything else was fine.
  8. Ok, back to R-models. Saw this RD delivering some pipe the other day on a jobsite.
  9. The mention of Yazel reminded me that I had an Axle Equipment post card with a Yazel truck on it. I remember up to a couple years ago seeing trailers with Yazel and Martin still running around. I know where two Martin trailers are but haven't seen a Yazel in awhile.
  10. I've seen that Petersen truck running around before, saw their Pete six wheeler headed up 294 today. I think Ernie said he wanted 20K for it, minus the headache rack. Would be a nice truck for somebody. As far as the snow hauling goes, you can have all of it in northern IL, I'm gonna go inside and take a nap!
  11. I was moving Bobcats for a customer of ours that is getting ready for snow season. Had a couple days worth, had 18 to move, which was great because it got me out of hauling gravel! While I was up that way I also stopped at Ernies. He is selling the 84 359 so I had to go BS with Ernie for a minute and take a look at the truck, but I need another truck like I need another hole in my head. Ernie did say he might be buying a Mack to replace it, he's just looking for a decent pre-emmisions truck that isn't destroyed.
  12. Nice find. I think I like the old school Pete paint job rather than all pink, neat story though.
  13. Spent the day in Lake County yesterday. Saw a ton of R-models and other trucks but it seems they were always somewhere that I couldn't get a good shot of them. I did get one from behind of the R-Jones R-model pulling the lowboy. Saw a newer silver/grey Mack that looked like it belonged to RSD501, didn't get a picture though. Also saw a Ford 9000 cabover pulling a dump trailer down 83 by the landfill. Haven't seen one those running around in awhile.
  14. Saw this Bottom Line RD getting some hot mix the other day at Builders.
  15. The trucks with the orange stripes are old PF Materials trucks out of Elk Grove. The one still has the name on the hood. I believe those DM's are also related, just a different name on them. PF used to have a bunch of trucks running around 15 years ago. Had a few nice Pete's and those RD's. The last time I saw any of them they were all beat to SH*T!
  16. Ebay/Pay Pal have gone nuts with their seller fees. I try to use them as little as possible anymore.
  17. My folks took a ride last weekend down by Utica(Starved Rock) and they came upon this B-model that we had seen at the Peoria truck show earlier this year. They said it was in front of a museum of some sort.
  18. Ha, I remember that. That plate found a good home. It's on the front of my B-model now.
  19. I shot a couple of Storkmack's. I think they had some liquid concrete on.
  20. Right! There was a guy shot to death last week at 51st & California while trying to rob a store. A conceal carry guy shot the robber to death. Oh well, One less piece of shit in the world. I actually had to go to the University of Chicago. It's funny, UIC is beautiful, but go two blocks in any direction and your in the heart of the ghetto!
  21. I have a 63 inch Peterbilt bunk for sale. It came off a 92 so it is pre-Unibilt and no air ride mounts. Unibilt came about around 94, so this one missed it by a couple years. Interior is all there. It is grey. The bunk needs paint and some body work but over all is not too bad. I am asking $1,500 obo. I might be able to deliver for a price, otherwise it's cash & carry. If someone does buy it I will need to get rid of it shortly thereafter, I cannot store it forever. If anyone is interested please PM me and I will get back to you. Shoot me an offer if interested.
  22. On the way back from Richland Center WI where I was at an ATHS show I had time to stop and take a pic of this Superliner that I've seen parked in a small town for years. Nice looking round headlight dual breather 4 axle.
  23. Was sitting at 51st & Cottage Grove Monday and spotted a Christensen truck. Was another one around the corner and I spotted a few other Macks but my camera decided to act up on me so I missed them.
  24. I posted a pic of them last year. They have been there awhile.
