tjc transport

yup, i was amazed when i popped the hood on my new T880's and saw disc brakes. and i have no problem jumping in the 2000 W900 and leaving my brand new Kenworth with 4600 miles on it parked in the yard.......locked with the key in my pocket. there are only two people that know where the keys are for these trucks, me, and the boss. and we are the only ones that drive them.

agreed. we paid our dues and deserve a "senior citizens" truck. these young punks demand new trucks with big engine, auto trans, and every option, $45 per hour, 8 hours pay but only can work 6 hours per day, than go drive it like their honder civic.

mehhh. i have seen a lot worse.

yes thin sheet metal is VERY hard to weld....especially with a stick welder. mig takes practice. i stitch weld thin metal to keep it from warping. takes 10 times longer, but worth it in the long run when you don't have to shrink/stretch the metal to get it back in shape.

we had a John Deer track loader on the farm with a 2-53 detroit. everyone around the area knew when we were mucking out the pig pen or burying/digging new garbage pits.

we have a drive through wash 3 miles away. used to be $75 for the tandem and $85 for the triaxle or $125 for truck and trailer. now it is $110 for tandem and $125 for triaxle. and he don't charge me for the trailer any more. i only go to the drive through if it is really dirty. since i am the only one driving i go SLOW in the quarries and off road, which of course pisses off the by the load fools. a few times they have passed us hourly guys at 40-50 mph and splash mud all over. when we get to the scale the scale man already knows why the trucks are covered from cabshield down and usually ban the speeders. one guy passed another truck on a bend and almost hit the quarry owner while doing over 60 on a posted 5 mph limit road.......spilling stone off the side of the truck. he no longer works in New Jersey as he was banned from all quarries after that incident. last i heard he is also banned from the 4 Pennsy quarries along th eJersey border too.

i still have to outside wash.... until we get the new building put up. there is going to be a wash bay inside up front near the left door.

i got a dozen extra jumbo double yolk eggs tuesday for $4.69. my store does not raise prices until they buy new stock. and since most people do not buy from the deli because" prices are too high" they go to the supermarket and pay $7.65 a dozen for large. last time i was at shoprite last week extra jumbo were $11,89 a dozen....

yes it did Bob. it actually was sold in september and i got a 2022 that is pretty much same exact thing. guy offered more than what we paid for it back in 2019. so the new one only cost $15,000. as for keeping it clean, it gets washed every night before getting parked. 73,000 miles on it and looked like it just was picked up from the dealer.

is that a small sleeper or an engine cover?

my bet is more work than it is worth.

that sure does look like a newer tach on edit: i just blew up the picture and what i thought was the speedo is actually the tach.

ain't you never watched Bugs Bunny? they be maroons JoJo, but buffoons.

many years ago a friend had a sign on his retractable gate that said "this gate is not to protect me from you...it is to protect you from me" he got a lot of complaints about it, but the police never said anything. than one day someone stole it.

Wassamatta, he made you hungry too?

until you get a bunch of Jehovah's see the sign and swamp you as a "safe place"

i never had any problem sleeping in the DM's or R models, the granite was a different story with the dash cupholders and shifter placement. same with my new kenworth. cup holders and and auto trans shifter placement mean there is no place to comfortably put my legs.

i have this on the front door: anyone that knocks on the door are asked "can you forking read" then i slam the door in their face before they can say anything. and then call the police and report them for soliciting without a permit........which is a BIG fine in my town.

"came over with the pilgrims" 🤣 I'm gonna have to try that one........my daughter tells me all the time i am older than dinosaur dung.

that is what god made children and grandchildren for Larry, to do the crap we are too old to do .

try to un-see this!!! 😁

i remember Apgar Bros very well. always spotless trucks. the company still lives in the fact they were located on Apgar Drive Somerset NJ. i have not been down Apgar drive in a while now, but the last time i was the terminal was still there.

gravity transfer worked just fine for what, 80-100 years? but the engimaneers read that bulletin about "if it aint broke fix it until it is".....and did.

Same here. 44-30. Hmmm.wher typed that way, it looks like a low power black powder rifle cartridge. 😁

Yea sure. You just wanted everyone to think we was crazy and making things up.
