Double L

I didn't know all that, Beelman sure is booming and doing something right!

I think Paul is profiling the craziest out of the bunch.

At least it doesn't have those stupid sleeper mounted cb antenna's like on the Freightliner Cascadia, still an ugly truck though! Whoever made the post about their wife loving it...Well you know women find the UGLIEST things "cute".

Yeah man get a Mack! Them Pete's are junk in my opinion, I'd take a KW before I would a Pete!

Beelman runs all over the place Gambi, my dad use to drive for them back in 00-03 when they had their Mack's before they switch to Pete and Freightliners. They also got a terminal in Indianapolis, Indiana and St.Genevieve, Missouri. I know when my dad pulled tanks for them he ran all over to Michigan City, IN; Ferdonia, KY; Missouri, Alabama, Ohio. I think the tank division is their only over the road division. I see some dumps with sleepers but I think that is mainly local stuff. Rowdy will be able to correct me on that.

I prefer a Cobra 29 Classic. I never liked the Nightwatch or that Weather crap, besides that the Nightwatch and weather really cuts the radio performance in half literally. Besides for $100 the 29 Classic with a peak and tune will do a better job than say a Connex or a General Lee. I had a Galaxy 949 in the past but I didn't care for it honestly. If the 29's came from the factory with talk back and an echo board with reverb it would be a seller I can bet ya that! I know I would buy one. That is the only thing I miss about the Galaxy is the talk back. I'm running the radio through a Wilson 2000.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Nice breasts Tom!

Thank ya Otherdog and amen, I live by the MLK Jr. quote everyday! Hatcity sign me up as well, heck if I'm feeling generous I'll even give ya a $10.

I knew Beelman ran vans but since when did they get into flats and RGN's? I know the fuel carrier I was working with hauls their fuel now the last stopped by to talk to them.

I always wondered about that....

They sag their pants, trying to be "gangsta" while they are out committing crimes...

...and wonder why they get caught.

You ever try running with your pants around your knees? I'd imagine it'd be kinda hard to run when you have to hold your pants up with one or both hands...and even harder to jump fences, etc.

Even a fat, out-of-shape cop has no problems catching a person who's tripping over their own britches

Trust me Rowdy the cops love those types cause they know when they start pulling their pants up they are about to run so it makes them easier to catch. :laugh: Hell it's hard for me to walk right with my pants around my knees and I can't even run with them round my knees. Whats funny is most of these people who try to imitate the gangsta lifestyle don't even know anything about it. I don't even know about it and I don't care to. I don't need to imitate anything cause I don't want to blend in. I rather be different and stand out and obviously I do.

LMAO that was funny!

While were on the subject about Obamacare the lovely Jesse Jackson had this to say.

You Can't Vote Against Health Care and Call Yourself a Black Man!

The Hill reports that the Rev. Jesse Jackson criticized Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL) for voting against the House health care bill, saying, "You can't vote against health care and call yourself a black man."

Jackson was speaking at a Congressional Black Caucus Foundation reception commemorating the 25th anniversary of Jackson's presidential run.

"We even have blacks voting against the health care bill," Jackson said.

All of Alabama's representatives voted against the bill. After the vote, Davis released this statement explaining why he voted no, and saying he would prefer something closer to the Senate Finance Committee version of the bill.

Very smart man indeed Packer! Larry yeah it was close to racism but I didn't view it as such. Besides I don't play that race card or cry racism at every little thing.

There's no point in voting anything other than democrat in Illinois anyway...us "downstaters" get our voting done by Cook and collar counties. What/Who we vote for is pretty irrelevant. Which is why I did not vote for president in this last election...they were/are both no good.

I live in Illinois and well know Chicago is a liberal area while the rest of Illinois is conservative in nature. Yet they say Illinois is a Democratic state. Hmmm maybe up around Chicago and Springfield yeah.

From your posts "You sounded a little taller"

As you stated, Everyone is affected by the present economy.Many blacks voted for Obama with the expectation that he would hand them their piece of the pie. You have yours and are more appreciative of that because you worked for it. You take care of it, keep it clean, running right, because replacement comes out of your back.

"What the hell is the world coming too?" Sorry I couldn't resist that reply!

As far as many blacks voting for Obama....I got called a racist and was told to go join the KKK cause I didn't vote him, it made me mad but at the same time I found it very funny.

If your pants are up around your waist, hats on straight and you speak clear, precise English then you won't be seen as the typical stereotype(the first impression). I see it as strange that back in the day, being "colored" was a down trade. Now white kids walk around imitating "gangsta" rappers. They think it's cool, but then wonder why no one will hire them.

That is exactly how I dress jeans around my waist with a trucking hat and work boots. I can't stand when people sag their pants! The white kids get mad at me cause I diss their favorite rapper cause they are talentless. I'm too a point to where I hate rap because of these wannabes as they dictate the market and the market as far as pop music goes is garbage these days!

It's like having your wife with ya at all times.

Affective Intelligent Driving Agent (AIDA)

MIT researchers and designers are developing the Affective Intelligent Driving Agent (AIDA) - a new in-car personal robot that aims to change the way we interact with our car. The project is a collaboration between the Personal Robots Group at the MIT Media Lab, MIT’s SENSEable City Lab and the Volkswagen Group of America’s Electronics Research Lab.

I appreciate that Rob, I honestly do! Funny thing is I never really had a racial problem or discrimination issue then again I'm mixed with white, Cherokee Indian, German, and Russian. Sure people give me looks but that is about it, but as they say first impressions have a lasting effect and that is very true.

Let's see the NAACP is angry with Obama because he hasn't done anything about the unemployment rate for African Americans. Now speaking as a black person, the NAACP needs to see the big picture that the unemployment rate is high for every American not just blacks. I'm so sick and tire of the NAACP, they are just looking for attention in my opinion! It's organizations like this that make me ashamed to be black because they continue to dumb us down!

NAACP Pushes Obama

How was the paper worthless Rebel? What did you get a degree in?

Your life can just go 180 degrees in a heartbeat, you never know.

That is why we should never take life for granted and be thankful for everyday we are here!

I wish more people were like you Tom!

Here is a new Wallis Mack which is a petroleum carrier/gas station chain based out of Cuba, Missouri.Wallis Companies I seen the Mack running out of BP and HWRT here in South Roxana/Hartford. They seem to run mostly Pete 379's but they got a KW T660 along with a Pete 386. I like the Mack the best, I think they got another newer Mack Rawhide dressed up but I'm not positive on that. I know of another petroleum outfit that runs a couple 04 and newer Mack's. I guess Mack is making a comeback, at least I hope anyway!

I thought Mack trannies were bulletproof? lol Not all new driver's are bad, some take care of their equipment.
