Shocker! always a F'liner fleet.

They've had some Volvos for awhile. Mostly Freightliners though

Going across Rt6 today and had a Swift truck pull right out in front of me. Had to jump on the brakes to keep from pushing him down the road. Went a couple miles and he comes to a stop, no lights on, no brake lights just stops. I waited a minute and then went around him, looked over and he was just sitting there. And you wonder why they get a bad name

i second Econodyne

I forget if it is Holland or who?   They have driver facing cameras and one veteran driver flips it off(give the bird) constantly.   They are not allowed to smoke in the truck, he does...and flips the camera while smoking.   He is still waiting to get written up or fired.  Guess they give leeway to veteran drivers that have lots of years and no issues with.  We get deliveries from most of the usual carriers, though I'm not involved with it on a regular basis like I used to be, I do talk to them if I happen to be around the docks.

I'm back with Ward now and they told us today we're getting cameras. I think I might have sold my Superliner to soon. I don't need someone watching everything I do. I could see it if you were hitting things all the time.

Didn't it go to Weirton W. Va. I was running through there when you sold it and thought maybe I would see it but never did. I could be wrong though, I usually am

Very nice

Take a group of bolts to a low torque spec then turn each one a predetermined number of degrees of turn to get your load, instead of just torquing to a top spec. Like taking a 180 ft lb bolt to 50 ftlbs and then an additional 1/2 turn with a breaker bar to reach 180 instead of just using a torque wrench to full spec. If you stretch them (per manufacturer) its a torque to yield, you intentionally distort the bolt and have to replace them every time. Otherwise you can reuse them if not taken to the “stretched” dimension. 

Thought that's what it meant wasn't sure. Thanks

I know I'm not to bright but what is angle tightening?

                                         Well now I have ask- I ran across two un-restored AC Macks and another that is restored today as a matter of fact. Now with those Mack's were two 30's KW's and a 1939 Pete.

                                         Now I have to go back to the salvage yard in the very near future to pickup the steer axle and other parts that were given to me for my B75 by the owner. And I'am going to get pic's.

                                         Big question does anybody want to see pics of the AC Macks. If so am I going to here flack about the KW's and Pete I post under {Other Trucks}?

 

                                          Truck Shop

Post away and I wouldn't worry out the flack

looks like the oil filter i had on a 52 willys jeep

Rebuilt Mack 350 engine with 7000 miles on it, 9 speed Fuller trans, I believe 38,000 rears on camelback. New rear cab panel due to old one being cut down for sleeper, new roof and cowl panels due to very small amount of rust could have been repaired but I wanted it replaced. Dash has been recovered in leather and wood grain with whiteface gauges. Custom made overhead console with stereo, speakers and CB to replace factory plastic one. All of interior has been dynamated. New Alumitank fuel tanks. Have an aluminum wet line tank that can go with it. New y pipe and straight pipes with integrated mufflers. 4 new batteries. New brake lining, seals, brake chambers, and slack adjusters. 6 polished aluminum wheels. New grill denser. New windshields and rubbers for all glass. New air horns and cab lights. Currently working on running new wiring for headlights and turn signals when I have time. I planned on having new door panels, headliner and back panel made but can't find someone that will come to garage to do it and I'm not putting plates and insurance on it just for that. When I started this I tried doing everything right because I planned on working it and didn't want anything giving me problems but things have changed and I don't need it and don't like having it sitting around.$30,000 Price is firm I have way more in it plus a lot of time. show contact info

I have this 83 for sale that I would have to have 30,000 for. I have done a lot to it and have around 40,000 in it. Everything cost money and I've never got out of them what I put in and that doesn't count my time.

just googled them to get a phone number to call in the AM, but it says permanently closed lol. i'll try the number anyway. but thank you for the message!

Sorry about that haven't been by there in awhile. 

You could check with Kennedys near Slippery Rock. Haven't been in there in awhile but they used to get a lot of fleet stuff in. I know they used to have a lot of ABF.

wow thats a beautiful ride.....10-4 on the wingman,,,,i run down into los angeles   and that thing is constantly squacking down there. in my peterbilt..worst part is its really loud and sometimes the brakes slam on when people cut in too close goes off if your 7 miles over speed limit,,and brakes come on and and alarm sound for school zones at 400 in the morning whoever designed those things should be tarred and feathered.....yes jackass thanks for nothing....bob    

This one doesn't go off when your over the speed limit but the new International we got does. I guess I lucked out on that. I wish they had aluminum wheels at least on the front. I saw one of Pitt Ohios with that bright red and alum wheels all around it was pretty sharp.

Our terminal got our first Anthem and I guess I get it. Had it two days now and still not sure if I want it or go back to my worn out International. I guess it's not the worst thing out there but I just don't get into all the new modern stuff. Get close to white or yellow line and beeper goes off get within a half mile of someone in front of you and beeper goes off. Don't put your seatbelt on beeper goes off. Doesn't run to bad Mp7 425 with M drive. All the trucks they bought this year are single axles. I wish Mack would have stuck with building R models and forgot this new stuff. Not sure why picture is upside down
