three years ago local tow outfit went up for sale after the owner passed away. every relative and their brothers 4th cousin came banging on the daughters door looking for a piece of the action, even though she had not seem 95% of them in over 30+ years. she told them to all eff off, leased the business to one of her fathers good friends, and disappeared. i saw the 84 superliner wrecker for sale about 2 months for $289,000. yea it only had around 75k miles on it and looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor, but the guy only bought it to flip..... for $50,000 i haven't seen it listed anywhere in about a year now. dont know if it sold or not.

an old friend had a 440 HP E9 superliner. took 4 transmissions to find the right combination for engine power and rear gear ratio. he settled on an eaton fuller 13 speed overdrive. that thing would walk away from everything on the road. when he passed away his wife sold it for almost scrap price and it was cut up.

2023 picture: she is still very attractive at 66 years young. -
constitution says president can only serve two full terms. BUT if he takes over for another after i believe 2 years in office, he can then serve the two remaining years plus 2 four year terms.

I'd Go Out of My Way to Avoid These "Celebrities"
tjc transport replied to Joseph Cummings's topic in Odds and Ends
i was the guy alcoholics in bars would point to and say "when i grow up i want to be like him" then one day 25 years ago after putting my best friend in the ground i realized i was next if i did not change my ways real quick......so i did. i will say one thing though, i NEVER EVER stopped at a liquor store, or even in a strip mall with a liquor store in it while in a work vehicle, and never ever drank on the job. at the time i was probably the only sober one at the company. one year before i quit as truck foreman i went through 36 drivers in a 6 month period. the straw the broke the camels back was the day i went to move a truck and found a spoon, lighter, and needle on a trucks battery box. i walked in the office and quit on the spot because the owner would hire anyone s long as they could drive around the block without hitting anything. one guy i tol d hime "that guy is no good, you will regret hiring him" a week later he took off with the dump box up in the air and hit a bridge, totaling the truck and doing $350,000 in damage to the bridge. -

only thing that ever bothered me was scotch and jagermeister. just the smell of either makes me want to puke. jack made me mellow, and takillya made me a mean bartstard who wanted to fight with anyone and everything. i really have not drank anything in 25 years now. there is still 5 Pabst Blue Ribbons in the fridge from 25 years ago. i will have a shooter of apple pie moonshine or lynchberg lemonade, but it has been 8 months since i had either. and even then it is only 1 shot glass full. usually once a year on my birthday. -

sorry, no pictures of it. and i dont know if it is still alive or not. i have not seen it in 40 years. it had a deck control 75 foot ladder with a nozzle up top and 4 inch hose from deck to nozzle up the middle of the ladder, a 50 foot, 30 foot, 4 20 foot extension ladders in the bunks under the big ladder. and 2 14 foot "roof ladders", one on each side of the ladder bunk. 500 gallon water tank, 750 GPM pump with ladder console pump controls. only hose on board though was the 4 inch line for the ladder and a shorty to connect to the trucks pump. it rolled with a pumper for water supply from hydrants. i remember that truck like it was just yesterday. too bad i cant remember what i had for breakfast this morning!!

my introduction into the cracker box was the fire departments aerial ladder. V12 engine with 10 speed trans. there were only 4 of us that could drive it. 1985 it was sold to a fire department out in the midwest at 20 years old because we could no longer rate it as a first line truck without doing a complete refurbish... and that cost almost as much as the new diesel truck that replaced it. it had a little over 17,000 miles on it when it went west.

i was taught at 12 years old the only thing a clutch is for is starting out on flat or uphill. and as such was never taught how to shift with a clutch. so when my friends pilot bushing came out of the crank and jammed the clutch in his 69 296/375 4 speed chevelle super sport in state college pa, i offered to drive it home 8 hours to the jersey shore. he was amazed i could shift without the clutch. a few times i had to stop for lights or to pay tolls and turned the engine off. then slipped it into first, and fired it up to take off.
