    Here's my little jitney, does a lot of work for me since I don't own a pickup truck. Titled as a 1975 homemade trailer, put together by a mechanic friend of mine. I purchased it from him almost 10 years ago. New bearings and lights at that time. I got lucky, my Jeep wheels fit right on the hubs.

    Reminds me of a line I've heard all my career... How to become a millionaire in trucking... Start with 2 million! Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    My take away from this article is, if you're an independent contractor and you are not making what you deserve, what is stopping you from changing jobs? Every trucker knows port haulage is a rat race. Also in the article it seems these independent contractors were doing better until they were forced to purchase newer trucks in 2008. Now they are trapped in lease-purchase agreements that they can't afford. So the government that caused the problem by interrupting free markets is now supposed to bail them out, creating another segment that can't function without subsidies. And the rest of us get to pay for it.

    Most of you folks down under are all ass about anyhows... You all drive on the wrong side and your toilet water spins backwards.

    The American consumer is very fickle. Manufacturers design and build a good product, and we are off to the next fad. I always thought the Flex is a smart design and size that makes sense for many people, especially families.

    That's good because apparently you won't find a title in the glove box either. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Has anyone considered an axle mounted steering box , like the early superliners or cruise liners? I know the systems were not perfect, but if mounting on the frame is an issue, this might be a solution. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    That cruiseliner is Mack's turbine powered test truck. Cool piece. I need to get back to the museum to check out rubber duck. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    What caused the climate change before humans? Ice ages, hot spells, etc.? Shopping for fake facts works both ways.

    IDK how it is supposed to work, but in my 2015 Volvo the USB port was not powered. It was only for linking up for music and such. It would not charge my phone. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    OMG, I'm way behind! My fleet average is 39 years! I better run down and buy a new truck! Oh wait, it's Sunday... Damn, I won't be able to sleep tonight until I sign up for the new Volvo tomorrow... Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Seems it should be where it can be enjoyed and appreciated by many folks. I know you would treat it right, Dan. Maybe even loan it to the Mack museum, or Keystone?

    Damit, now you tell me... I should have painted my MH brown. And do everything else UPS does. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    That truck was super clean top to bottom no rust. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Liberal game plan. Change the question if you're not getting the answer that fits into your agenda. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Key words "I've never owned a truck" you said it yourself, teamster... I've owned new and old for the last 20 years and I've made my choice on what works for me. Or maybe you weren't paying attention when I said that 10 times already. I'm not blaming anyone for my troubles. I am being proactive at taking care of myself and my family. Isn't America great that every individual has that opportunity? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Looks like the trailer I saw Monday. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    You'll never understand... It's not all about money all the time. I can afford to take a month off. And I will return to work doing what I enjoy. Can't say that about the job I left. Maybe a snowflake liberal college professor would call it a sabbatical. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    I fell for that line once... Traded a E9 MH for a brand new 2000 CX. Good truck, but not worth trading my soul to gain 1 mpg on a good day. And all the MPG in the world would not cover the downtime I have seen with anything newer than 2004. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Oh, and by the way, I wouldn't be able to take a month off to build my truck if I had a payment due. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    So far my '85 MH build hasn't reached the $10k mark, including a spare parts truck. That doesn't even touch the FET on a new one. Been there, done that. Don't want what they're selling nowadays. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    Ken, you sleep in your trailer, could the Roll Hauler be classified as an RV? Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk

    But we don't pay "our fair share" to maintain the roads that we use. Another good reason to keep an old truck.
