A journalist is still a member of the public, with all of the rights AND RESPONSIBILITIES that go along with that. If somebody is going to rob a bank and calls their local CBS affiliate to record the incident, CBS is likely to show up...AFTER notifying the local law enforcement. If they just show up and document, they become accessories to the crime and face the same criminal liability as those who actually committed the act.

 

Point is, if the "reporter" had prior knowledge that a crime was going to occur, and showed up to "document" it anyway WITHOUT notifying the police first, they are guilty. If the reporter called the cops and said "this is going down" with the date & time, then showed up to film, then they are "just exercising their Rights under the 1st Amendment".  

 

One way they are a PARTICIPANT in a crime. The other a responsible citizen documenting an event.

well explained Rowdy ! ........at no point is trespassing in the name of journalism ...NOT TRESPASSING!, otherwise we would all be journalist's just grab your note pad and camera and whala  ......instant access to any where!   

I only had two complaints about those trucks 1 was the dang door panels were always loose and 2 was all the white numbered wires that when you wiped the wires clean all the numbers were on the rag!    

good lord ! might have been cheaper to build new

I lived a few miles from Takata ind. in Moses lake Wa . I awoke several times to the sound of a loud explosion, the robots that mix the propellant would get out of sequence and cause an explosion, blowing out a million dollar soft wall in the bunker of which they were placed........and I thought that was severe economic damage, but I don't know how you recoup from a recall of this size!      

things are getting better by the day for the good olé  USA..............NOT!

is the filter plugged,? is the reservoir  plumed properly? is there a dip stick on the canister fill plug? is the oil black?

yep..... cant make a bank DEPOSIT with out ID but you can VOTE with a few XXXX on the line......makes sense to me 

don't miss those jobs, several times we moved preloads from one side of the street to the other side of the street  1200 yards a day 10 yards at a time per truck. 

are you wanting to use the ac delco compressor or the sanden? I have the sanden bracket but don't want to part with it, but could get you a pattern.

the delco should be stock  for your truck I think, I got a e-9 from a cl that has the sanden compressor. 

looks like you found an apple orchard! just finished picking Fuji's here Saturday now waiting to check the weather forecast to see if I can haul them in dry weather tomorrow, (hauling wet apples increases the bruise's) wouldn't you know it the dang weather delayed us 4 days and my tonnage has lapsed,  so have to buy a months worth to haul one load would try to beat them out of it ,but  they are doing safety  checks this week so I guess I had better play by the rules. 

ok my rw 713 has the extended front bumper and center pull pin and these are accessory bolt on items, I have never seen a 600 series with this option. however I have seen r series  valueliners with the extended front bumpers with center pull pin, the rd688s models we had had adaptor blocks to space the bumpers ahead but had pull pins within the adaptor blocks.

as for the fuel tank diameter I have only come across one superliner I that had either 22 or 23 in. tanks (it was a log truck)   wish mine had the smaller tanks.  

as of two years ago the D shaped turn signal lights were still available but only in gray plastic not chrome plated. and not with the molded plug.   

most all interior switches are still available with out issue ,the battery box covers should also be available in steel or alum.  and the r611s should be the model #   Look for your local Mack/Volvo dealer or call Watts the sponsor  for this site.

Sorry too hear this, the lack of respect a person gets while on the side of the road is unreal. no one cares! I think others get a kick out of seeing how close they can get to you  When I was working with the paving crew I couldn't believe the amount of people who wouldn't budge a bit  as the guy raking the meet edge would be within  18 inches of them, we had spotters with air horns to warn us of wide loads or idiot drivers, still a scary place to be. best of thoughts for your familys 

Ooops ....not Kerry worse yet Al Gore..... sorry too many idiots too choose from

Just heard Killery saying Kerry will be her climate advisor.........what was the lyrics to "hee haw's "   some thing along the lines of   GLOOM DISPAR EXCESSIVE MISERY  WHOOOO ......if it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all!!!!!     perhaps this will be an anthem everyone will stand for.   

you could also try running "power service" in the gray jug, it has a cetane booster and also an injector cleaner additive, this may help reduce the smoke as well. Alot of the fuel we get doesn't have the cetane rating that the engine was designed to run with. cetane  is to diesel, what octane is to gasoline  It helps both my e9 run cleaner as well as all my diesel farm tractors 

worked around union trades for several years while living in western Washington, never saw anything that I wanted to be associated with! local 302 operators recruiters would come sniffing around, just let him know our customers liked things done on budget and ahead of schedule......he would take the hint and leave! 

geographic  differences  I guess , about the only democrat union around me would be the teachers union, and  I have not found or ever worked for, or with a democrat contractor while building road or installing water systems  

Oh I think the purge has started alright........and they want US out!......until they remember someone has to fix the sewer, maintain the water system and feed them, so if they can get a gun registry and limit our ammo, they will be happy to keep us around, if they don't have to worry about a revolt from the good ole boys and girls. 

the JCB fast trac are starting to catch on here in the basin as hay farmers are using them because of the travel speed and ride

I know Ron, sounds unreal but we would park the truck about the third week of October and then not use it again until mid August  I worked around the rig for three years and this was always the story 

 Naw.....it runs the methane generator that powers the turn signals........but the operator sure is in a bad spot to use the compression brake!!!!

good lord I need to start rounding up k100's I guess..... that's 1500.00 more than a good runner brings out here!
