  1. If so poorly run then they should file bankruptcy just like GM they are just bailing out the union, just one more BS story of how another company is destroyed by union pensions. what about all the non union scab truckers as we are called, not helping them is racist, they are not getting helped because they are the wrong  color what ever that is, just more bailout BS promoting poor management.

  3. That is a converted KC97 it is set up to haul cargo all the tanks have been removed, it is a flying plane and is for sale, you might need to take out a loan just to fuel it, AV gas is 4.75 a gallon in Greybull and you need to feed 4 big (really big) gas guzzlers.

    C119 wingbox is sitting in Columbus and we will return later after they wash it and put it back together, 4 state troopers did just as I thought, non stop ambulance service they were taking bets on if we could make it in 3 hours from Danville IL to Columbus, half the trip was on 2 lane roads, I think we made a impression on some 4 wheelers. sirens and lights and full throttle quite the ride.   

  4. Update, entered Iowa on Monday and went half way, left on Tuesday and made the the Moline scale in IL. Iowa DOT did the escorting, great bunch of guys, had a great time with them, funny when you get police to ride around and on private channel radios what they will say, can't say enough on the great job, IL. State Trooper was great which was nice, IL let us ride into scale with no police escort and left at 9 am and made the IN. line around 1:30 good ride, real good officer, tomorrow we will finish our trip and head home which is kinda OK on trips like this you can't wait to get it done but on last day you wish it could last longer, read the IN. permit and could not find how many civil escorts were needed called back to the State Patrol dispatcher who is a credit to IN. and was informed that no civil escorts needed ??? instead we get 4 State Troopers, we will surely make someones day because with 4 Troopers you know how this will go, one way our way so if your on 74E 465 and down 31 tomorrow beware cause you will be parked, at some point we will pick up Columbus city police and will really screw things up, like I say it's great to be on this side of the fence, the drone will be out again tomorrow so we should have some good video, beautiful load great trip and lot of fantastic people and we get to make some money and I can't resist, all done with my old MACK, I will get some pics up, load is looking a little worn since some of the wrap came off but now you can now see it is a Airplane part. 

  5. Your living in utopia, I can't get out of a Mack garage for under 5 grand to wipe my ass, if I could rebuild my own trans I would,  every Mack trans in our yard or that has been through our yard  has  repairs involving removal of the trans and breaking the boxes open, something that hardly happens with the Fullers, yes the Fullers fail but the Mack puts you through hell then shits the bed. we are not in the general freight or dump dump truck business, any day if you need a education come out and ride with us you won't think the same when you go home, I deal with this every day and in our type of operation they are not the best and yes the fullers will howl and whine but when they fail I can replace with a brand new trans with warranty and ride on Mack has a book full of reasons why they won't warranty a failed Mack trans.

  6. NO we started  out with a 20' wide and we had our WY permit because if you knew anything you would know that we have to obtain it directly then we have to use a agent to order most of the rest which we have to take them at their word that they are on top of it, now unless we sat in their office in CA. how would we know that they are or not that's their business, if you ever ordered a permit you would know that, that is what they do, they are called a permit co. ??? get it, there are states that will not sell you a permit without going through a agent, and my old Mack has 230,000 orig miles, is there something wrong with that, do I need to own a new Mack that has numerous issues and be broke down in the middle of the road ???? now you are going to condemn old Macks, your on the wrong website if that is what you believe.  I think you you been sniffing to much of your own exhaust.

  7. OH one other point you need glasses because if looked at the photos of my truck which are on here there is no sleeper, yes we stay in motels and eat at real restaurants not truck stops, only time we go near a truck stop is to buy fuel, when on unexpected vacation we enjoy the local attractions, that's how we know so much about our great country, since we really like to eat I know all kinds of great places from coast to coast for a good meal, from Newick's  and the Backroom in NH to Rudy's in TX ,AZ  and UT, Bobby Rubinos in south Florida, Rays in Greenriver UT I could go on forever, you should get out more often, OH and Haircuts, the best is the Sheraton in Kuwait city a true pleasure.

  8. I don't watch NASCAR  I find going around in the same circle all day kinda tedious until they have a wreck but does management really think that the loyal fan that has been  sh*t on will be replaced by Black fans ??   really don't think so, bad choice on their part.

  9. No the truth is most likely you are referring to union workers who are only thinking about how fast they can get on disability for stubbing their toe, they wouldn't know a hard day of work if they tripped over it, the days of unions being useful have long gone and have become nothing but a protection scheme for useless workers, I personally have had to deal union workers at powerplant jobs, funny when something critical needed to be done it would happen on the weekend when the union workers were off and we could get things done with out all the drama, your man Obama is the one that sent your jobs overseas, don't you read the jobs reports, don't you read the want ads or the tool box magazines that advertise plant work, everybody was crying for help till the liberal virus came along and yes it is a liberal virus, the virus is just another fraud for Pelosi to use against Trump even though he did what liberals complained about but then it was the right thing to do, to bad your hate for Trump is guided by lemming mentality otherwise you too would see the good Trump has done.
