tjc transport

about 50 years ago i was helping a landscaper friend for a few weeks when his driver was sick. u model tandem tractor with a 237 5 speed and air starter. i pulled into a nursery for a load of plants rite at lunchtime. all the mexicans went on "siesta" 45 minutes later the nursery owner looked out the window and saw them sleeping around the truck and said " i have had it with those guys" (lunch was 30 minutes) he told me to quietly get in the truck and start it up. i have never since that day seen a herd of mexicans move as fast as those guys did!!

Dave, the only ones "doomed" are criminals, illegals, and lib tard demonrats with their head so far up their asteriks that they keep on confusing President Trump and VP Vance with the pedophile and prostitute who spent the past 4 years selling the country to the highest bidder. as far as the stock market goes, it can fall to sheit and i would not care. and i agree, life is good and getting better every day.

why is it ok for other countries to place up to 60% tariffs on american exports, but is is bad for america to put 10-15% tariffs on foreign imports? screw those foreign countries that dont want our exports. it is time to think about america first, not america last like the demonrats have done for so long.

WOW. i filled up this morning at $2.55 per gallon. and last week it was 2.63. i fill at 1/2 tank, which is around 12 gallons used for 235 miles traveled, or 19.5 MPG. truck is a 2021 F150 4X4 crew cab shortbed 5.0 V8 with 10 speed trans and 3.31 gear ratio. and that is with average speed under 45 MPH. one time i had it out on the road and with cruise set at 65 it got 26 MPG on a 300 mile flat ground run.

i still dont understand why the demonrats feel it is ok for foreign countries to impose 20,30,nd 40 % tariffs on american exports, but it is the end of the world as we know it for america to impose tariffs on those same countries imports into america.

correct Amazon electric delivery vans are built by rivian to amazon specs.

yup, it will be great when prices start to go down on imports. Canada has already announced it will lower all it's tariffs on exports to match the American import tariffs

i would pass on the tip out glass. i am at the stage of life where if it does not have "meat locker" AC, it aint for me!!!

and reverse top speed was almost equal to forward top speed too in 5th.

aint no big mike obama either!!!!

maybe to blind man.

i will also add, if they ever offered an LTL glider kit, i would snatch one up.... then stuff a 600 HP X15 cummins with allison trans in it just to use as a daily driver.

i bet they would sell like cold beers on a hot summer day.

like what? social security for people over 150 years old? or social security and Medicare for illegals? or the $14,000 per year to illegals? or maybe the 4 trillion spent on non trackable items?

dumb and dumber?

the smart thing to do is keep the hoax up until primary time in three years. then announce the Republican ticket of Vance for President and Trump Vice President i am quite sure he will be sharp as a tack at 80, just like he is now.

i was just over moms and she had the news on. top story was "trump announces he will run for third term" mom said isnt that illegal? i said yup only two terms. he just said it to watch all the liberals with TDS heads explode. her reply was well, its working! 🤣

2 cans of engine degreaser, and 4 rattle cans of spray paint. freshly "rebuilt" engine!!

i know a guy that runs a big truck repair shop. he refuses to do any repairs on foreigner owned trucks until the undercarriage and associated parts are pressure washed clean.

dont forget the locked brakes and only single wheels on the rear.

looking good!!!

i am thinking dash unit is a tachograph with directional switchbox on top. i only saw one tachograph unit that was sealed like that one. all others were open side to slip the recorder disc into.

how did you guess? and now that i think of it, it was 36 or 37 years ago, i left that company spring of 95 when the owner started treating me like his son in law that left because he was tired of being treated like dog poop on the sole of a shoe.

probably recycled into chinese cars three of for times over by now. i have not seen that rig in close to 35 years. after i left they could not find anyone to drive it because it was an old dinosaur even back then.

25 years ago i had a union "pit book" the company got big job widening a main line road. two of the machines i ran were a cat 980 and a terex T36 scrapper. union BA came on the job one day and saw me in the 980. told me i could not be in it and called the hall for someone to run it. guy was in the machine 10 minutes and overheated the trans trying to run in third gear, plus locked up the brakes. also complained it did not have air conditioning. took me 15 minutes to put it back to work. next day the BA kicked me off the T36. new guy shows up and the BA tells me i have to show new guy how to run it. i told him to F.O. and everyone walked off the job until the BA left. that was the last day he was allowed near that job. as retribution, a month later he showed up at the sand pit i was running, intending to shut me down foe sending loads to a union site with non union drivers. he had "spies" tailing the trucks......who all went out of state.. when he found out, he left. and got 1/2 mile down the rod before being pulled over for driving while intoxicated and open alcohol containers in the back seat of the company pickup he was driving. i had seen him drinking while i was loading trucks and called the police to let them know. not only did he loose his license, he also lost his job.
