Thanks to everyone that stopped by the Watt's Truck Center tent on Saturday to purchase something or even just to say hi! We certainly appreciate the business and enjoyed talking to everyone even as we were standing in 2-3 inches of mud and water most of the day, LOL! We thought that the show turned out pretty nice despite the mud and rain and just goes to prove that even a near wash out rain event can't stop the enthusiasm of true Mack Truck Fans!

Sandy and I left around 2:30 after being damp for way too many hours. I did get some pics and a few mud videos. I have to check out a Yardo’s recover ones on Facebook.
There were a few BMT members that came over to our tent around noon but I think the heavy rain got the best of that!

there a necessary evil,,,,i get it,,,people get alotta money to post them,,,,,i see more and more of them covering everything im trying to look up especially google news they pop up and almost completely cover the storys im trying to read,,,and some cases i x them out and they pop back up
Yeah, we don't see any amount of money from ads but they do help with the Google Analytics, SEO and page ranking...they seem to be a package deal with the add-on extension from Google. I just tuck a simple banner under the footer where most people don't have to even see it! I'd rather have only our actual forum sponsor banners up top below the header!

Great job Barry. Now Joey won't be so distracted😜
Dunno about over there, but BMT is at the top of any search for Mack info over here, after their sponsored sites.
Yes indeed! We don't get any money from the ads under the analytics module but they really help get "preferential treatment " from Google's search engine!

Sorry guys...I added a google ads and analytics module to help with search engine rankings. They are supposed to be UN-obtrusive but I didn't know they were poppin up on mobile screens like that! I will get it fixed up! Until then...enjoy the bikini ads, LOL!
ETA: I think the popups are fixed now! You should only ever see the forum advertiser banners under the header and a google banner under the footer. Let me know if there are any more popups!

Been carrying Benchmades for years.
Glad to know you carry them now!
That is great to hear! It can be hard to purchase that first quality, USA made knife but once you do, you quickly see the difference versus a typical truck stop knife! Plus the lifetime warranty and LifeSharp program is hard to beat!

Any way you can order a Benchmade Infidel? I've been wanting on for a while, and if Watt's has a good price on them I might bite.
We sure can! Let me dig up some info and a quote and I'll PM you shortly!

At Watt's Truck Center, we feel that the driver is as important as the truck, so we try to keep some things that make the driver's life more comfortable, productive and safe! That's why we decided to add Benchmade Knives to our family of top quality products that we sell. Benchmade Knives are US made and come with a lifetime warranty and free lifetime sharpening! Every driver should have a good quality knife be their side out on the road...Benchmade is one of the best!
We also carry a line of flashlights from Nebo and gun lube/cleaner from Weapon Shield. We also have access to thousands of truck stop items such as CB Radios, stereos and sleeper cab accessories from our other suppliers!
Don't think of Watt's as just a parts dealer...think of us as a Truck Center with everything you might need for your truck and for yourself!

Hey guys, Tom Gannaway is still hard at it...trying to make sure every Mack B-Model finds it's place in the B-Model Registry and the latest edition has just been posted! Be sure to visit our B-Model Registry mini site to view the current edition! Here is the link but it can also be found at any time in the BMT nav bar at the top of every page!!
https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/registry/
If you have a B-Model that hasn't been listed yet, be sure to contact Tom and send him the info or you can use the form in the registry to send him the info! It's never too late to get your B-Model(s) listed in the next edition!
Be sure to give Tom a BIG THANK YOU for his continued undertaking of this massive project! There is also a small library of B-Model information and statistics included in the Registry mini site! Check it out and let us know what you think!!
