  1. Plowed snow for years, really liked working for Mass Electric, 2 days not stop, did all the substations, took naps in the loader, good old days
  2. Left Sun. on the way to Auburn Maine, up to Whited Peterbilt, got to Glade Spring VA. roads got bad so went to bed, next morning made it to Marion Va. finally located driver of plow truck and asked what gives with the NOT plowing the road or salt, he explained that FOX is contracted to some other outfit and they decide when to plow ??? got back on the road made it to WV line again had enough and it started to rain on top of the snow that was still on the road, big 300 mile day. finally made it to Maine and got back home, going back down 81 I saw crews out in the middle of the night fixing all the guardrails that were torn up by all the wrecks, guess it's cheaper to fix the guardrails than plow the road. couple things piss me off about this, I pay taxes to have that road plowed and all I hear about is highway safety, well where in the hell was the highway safety hero when no one was plowing the road ??? if you are not going to plow the road then close it. I grew up in snow so I don't mind it but avoiding the flip flop pajama bottom steering wheel holder going 20 mph gets a little on my nerves. plus I wanted to strangle the plow drivers hanging out at the coffee shop, getting paid and NOT plowing snow???? Somebody in the VA. DOT needs to find a new job and it's not working in the road dept.
  3. Like it, very nice looking truck, hate the oil filter, would piss everyone off and replace with spin on, little old with a little new ??
  4. Still would make a great project
  5. I don't think it's a late 70s more like early 70s august of 75 vin # were in the 20 and up ???? I have the build sheets from Mack for August of 75 from Hayward, most are 20xxx there are some 18xxx but very few ???
  6. I would like Trump just piss every one off.
  7. Well if Trump does not have the answer I know that bitch and commie boy sure don't, maybe just maybe Trump might get something done because he is not a Washington suck up.
  8. I can send you some video of dollies working and put you in touch with the right people, once you go with dollies you won't use anything else, J&B is using there dollie set up right now 200 ton plus, we did a bunch of big gas compressors in OK all on dollies, at 80K per group it does not take many to haul a heavy load, we used mostly 4and 5 groups that will put you up around 500K and scale 400K payload, maybe a little less depending on your beams.
  9. I don't think there was anything elec. on any V8 Mack in the US.
  10. J&B has 10 lines I think, there is 12 lines in MA. Call 617 269 6600 they were going to sell it last time I spoke to them. If you are going to work off road you can't beat one of the old 200/250 Talbert 32 tire trailers, I know of 1 in FL and Brian T. bought ours. don't know if he still has it. If you learn how to use dollies you can move anything a platform will do, and weigh a lot less, great for going over the road, we ran dollies at most the power plants in the south. also less cost to own and operate but you need to have some skill.
  11. Just a question, with the market overloaded with platform trailers already why would invest in something that you can hire cheaper than you can own ?? Are you worried about the big boys back dooring you ?? they will do that anyway. have looked into dollies like Telkamp or Holland ??
  12. There is a Talbert in Mass, was for sale and J&B in OKC has one, it may be for sale also, they started using dollies and I don't use the platform anymore, better weight on dollies than the platform.
  13. Not much more of that coal hauling going on, and who can you thank for that ?? the same ass wipe that now will cause more air pollution because every third world nation is building coal plants because the price of coal is so low, and they have no pollution controls, good move Obama another bullshit excuse to put Americans out of jobs, higher electric costs, yes, very good move liberal voter.
  14. Screw CAT, we have had nothing but problems with them, even cat knows they build junk engines that is why they got out of the market. now some cat lover will get all pissy and make up excuses for their departure from the market. but excuses are like butt holes, every one's got one.
  15. Now CRAP when was it not?????
  16. Well now one rancher is dead, everyone happy ??? must be a reason that a man would risk his life, maybe there is more to this story than we know. If the Rancher died standing up to the Government about something that he was right about than he is a hero in my view. may be more people should stand up for what is right, I try and get BS for it. let's all vote liberal then we to can sit at home drinking beer and cooking barbecue all day, but then the country goes broke like all the liberal run cities ???? can't you libs figure it out ????
  17. saw a PAI rebuild kit for E9 $6000.00 and change, my parts dealer can do better. how come the single wheels on rear ???
  18. Wind does not work in GA, and when the sun goes away for a day or so then what ??? If wind and solar are so great then why does it not get done with out heavy tax support ??? and yeah I would like him beheaded, does not seem to bother him when it happens to someone else???
  19. Obama makes it his life's mission to destroy the coal industry, which he has done, it's the only thing that he said he would do that he really did, or at least the EPA did for him, now the libs ride around in there little shoe box cars saving the environment one gallon at a time all the while supporting O crap for brains for cleaning up the air. But world wide coal fired power plant construction is at a all time high, so every third world nation is building coal plants at record rates and of course not installing any environmental controls like those mandated here. that means that we now pay more for our power, we have destroyed many good paying jobs, even the rail roads are laying people off due to coal shipments going down and the beloved environment is going to be worse off. There you go, another Obama stupid plan gone wrong, He does not understand anything other than praise Allah The jerk off in the White House is a complete asswipe and should be tried for treason, if you do not do what is best for our country and you are the leader than you are guilty of treason and should be beheaded like Muslim law dictates. (since he loves Allah)
  20. I am angry everyday, I wake up, check the news and see Obama still here.
