  1. so true. these days they try running me off the road for only doing 45 mph loaded with the W900 Kenworth. just because i have 7 axles, you aint stopping 180,000 lbs without running over a couple teslas, two transit busses, an a volvo bobtail tractor.
  2. for 21 years i ran heavy equipment all over the tri state area with a DM800 powered by a 237 and mud stick trans. 58k rears with 14-24 tires on tractor and trailer. with the "S" tags on the trailer, i was legal for 215,000 lbs total weight. i had a bolt on third axle for the trailer, but never used it.
  3. any askwhole who says they are peaceful protests should be put on an interstate under and bridge while people above drop bricks and garbage cans on them. or in a street while people throw bricks and firebombs at them....................and make them stay there until they admit it is not peaceful protests.
  4. not to worry, skynet will be in control soon and we will all be safe then.
  5. dont sell yourself short Bob, a sloth works faster than you do!!
  6. only a little? me thinks you need to make an appointment for another eye exam!
  7. Me thinks that video has no other use than to get people to look at the watermelons she is hiding under her blouse.😁
  8. i wonder what is up with the plastic across the bottom back of the cab?
  9. someone really really needs to impeach newscum and put him in prison for the rest of his life.
  10. we had 3 U700 short frame tandem tractors back in 79 at Kings supermarkets. rode like crap no trailer, but they were great in the city. 327 5 speed trucks.
  11. i had the same thing in downtown manhatten around 30 years ago. went to make the turn on the one way street to the jobside at the end of the block only to see cars parked to the corner blocking my way. cop said same thing.... run em over. so i did. pulled 2 half a block with the rear wheels before the trailer finally rolled over them. cop gave me a thumbs up and then waved at me as he was talking into his radio. about 5 minutes later i saw 4 NYPD tow trucks hauling the two wrecked cars i drug, and the other two i pushed forward with the other . about 1/2 hour later he came walking down the block and stopped at my truck and handed me a precinct card with if you ever get in a jam down here, give us a call and we will be rite out to help.
  12. you can try asking dealer to turn down sensitivity, but i doubt they will do anything. on my 22 kenworth it did the same thing. they said "safety feature so we cant touch it" and when the stability control would activate, it would defuel the engine and if over 20 mph, apply the brakes. drove it for a year like that and traded it in on a 2024 i custom ordered. since they had no trucks on the lot and it only had 21,000 miles on it, they gave us what we paid for it on trade in. and it became their problem. it is still there a year later as no one will buy it because of that issue, and they can not figure out how to fix it.
  13. go ahead, keep rubbing it in. you can very easily be given a 3 day "vacation"
  14. dont have to be friday afternoon. for me it is every day with idjiots stopping to look at an incident on the other side of the divided highway.
  15. i wondered if you would see that international.
  16. yes they could Bob. unfortunately 99% of what youngsters see today goes in the eyes, and rite out the asterisk seconds later.
  17. Superdog... or Underdog, with a picture of the cartoon character under the name. Underdog: my 79 DM800 was called the Mud puppy, because 99% of the time i was working offroad in pits with mud roads.
  18. I thought it was called being a lazy baastage!
  19. i am so glad i have not turned the TV on in close to a year if those are the offerings!!!
  20. until i got the hearing aids if i wanted to be in a conversation with someone or a group i had to be right ear facing to them. and now with the hearing aids, if the wind is blowing, tv or music up loud, or cars-trucks passing by, they overbear the conversation because of the louder tones.
  21. Paul, it is not just over there. my left arm i have had 6 spots removed over the past 25 or so years, and now have to wear long sleeve shirt whenever out in the sun or in a truck without tinted windows.
  22. without a doubt, the box of rocks. the other three are dimmer than a three watt light bulb in a power outage.
  23. i think you need to reverse the picture, the steering wheel is on the wrong side.
  24. cummins had the "triple nickel V8" from the 60's though the end of the 70's.
