  1. Thank you for sharing your experience Joey. Hope that you continue to feel better every day! Dave
  2. If you’re looking to put her to work you might see if the local mulch suppliers are looking for truckers. You will most likely max out on volume before you get close on weight. My Dad worked for one back in the day and they could never get enough trucks, especially in the spring. Looking forward to more updates. Dave
  3. I had to go take another look at the photos to see where Mark came up with the JDM reference as I didn’t see the telltale dark green. then I didn’t see the mud flap.... Is the dump body an open back rock body of some sort Mike? Kinda looks that way with the apron angle and the chain hung mud flaps. To your point Mark I wonder if John Haines’s kids, will ever restore a 2020 Kenworth as a piece of company history. Dave
  4. We lived off Morton Street, not too far off 138. I remember driving by Will and A.A Will when we would head north to see my grandparents. Seems as if there was a Case dealer along there closer up to 128 too... Great memories! Dave
  5. I was only 6 at the time living in Stoughton, MA. I remember my Dad telling stories of sleeping on store shelves at the Mall in Braintree, MA during the Blizzard. He was in truck sales at the time and plowed on the side for one of his customers - P. Caliacoo out of Quincy. At one point they sent out a loader to blaze a trail for the fuel truck to get to the fuel depot but then the loader ran out of fuel before they got there and they had to send another loader to finish the trip.

  6. You can hear it from a country mile!
  7. So sorry to hear of your husband’s passing Catherine. Very generous of you to attempt to contact Erin to give her the photos. If you have the ability to post a photo or scan of the photos here I’m sure everyone would enjoy seeing them as the group lives photos! Dave
  8. Just imagine the stories those pieces could tell! Thank you for sharing the photos. Dave
  9. Is the Mack-Savage still in the fleet Brad? Truckfinder’s HMM would be an interesting addition to the fleet, just say’n... DavCut
  10. Thank you for the additional photo nicste! Always nice to see an old dog at work. Thank you for the link Swishy. Looks as if Sachal does some very interesting fabrication. Dave
  11. That's quite the boat trailer your pulling in your avatar! Might need to see a larger version of that photo... Dave
  12. Maybe the owner of the trucking company was a fan...
  13. Could you hang it and then use a shop vac through the fill hole? Not sure I'd try it with a gas tank but might be okay with a shop vac...
  14. Glad to see that you have found them good homes Mike.
  15. On a positive note at least she ran once you bypassed the pump!
  16. Evening Mike. Did the new pump do the trick? Dave
  17. I had a chance to talk with a woman who was looking at the truck at the same time. She indicated that she had driven for UPS and that while the retired “package cars” were cut up for scrap the tractors were painted white and sold. Seems as if the passenger side door had a company logo (non UPS) on it from Colorado. Dave
  18. It was a nice surprise to see the MH Saturday after reading the history on this site. I hadn’t heard that it had ended up back east. Looking forward to seeing it again after the volunteers at the Mack Museum get done with it! Thank you for starting the thread and sharing the photos. Dave
  19. Looking positive for this weekend at Gerhart! Post on the ATCA Facebook Site from yesterday indicates all systems go!
  20. Just saw this and started listening to the podcast. Thank you for sharing this great content kscarbel! Dave

    RD888SX

    Looked up the auction company’s website. No price in the CL add since the auction doesn’t end until September 15th. https://bid.orbitbid.com/lots#YXVjdGlvbltsb2NhdGlvbl09JmF1Y3Rpb25bc3RhdHVzXT11cGNvbWluZyZhdWN0aW9uW3R5cGVdPSZsb3RbY2F0ZWdvcnldPSZsb3Rba2V5d29yZHNdPVJEODg4U1gmbG90W2xvY2F0aW9uXT0mbG90W21pbGVfcmFkaXVzXT0yNSZsb3Rbc3RhdHVzXT1hbGw. Looks to be at least 5-1/2 RD888SX’s in the auction. Dave
  22. Since Kscarbel linked to this thread I thought I’d bump it back to the front. If I’m reading his profile correctly Bid Red Owner follows this thread (though he hasn’t logged on since February 2019) so maybe he will see this and provide an update on Big Red’s status and location. DavCut
  23. A.J Blosenski runs a nice fleet. Seems to be a mix of Mack, Peterbuilt, KW and of course Autocar. Sharp looking trucks all painted in company colors. DavCut
  24. Looking forward to seeing more videos Andy. Keep up the great work! Dave
  25. Neat old film kscarbel. Thank you for posting it. DavCut
