My guess would be a Smith-Miller too,better get out your wallet! the reproductions are getting more expensive than the originals! Paul,you mentioned Tootsietoys,you wouldn't happen to have a junk flatbed lying around would you? I'm restoring a B-Model with the Texaco tanker and an L-Model I'd like to pair up with the flatbed?................................................Mark

I respect and understand DCR's opinion,everyone (including myself) did indeed start somewhere,but these "driving school drop-outs" are becoming the bane of the trucking industry! One difference is that I WANTED to be a driver like my Dad and Grand-Dad,was'nt a "last ditch effort" after failing at everything else. I do more and cover more ground in a day then most of these nood-nicks do in a week! And therefore cannot afford to be held up at every stop by someone who doesn't have the skill or desire to do a proper job. My Grand-Dad used to have an expression for this,"If you want to be a Lumberjack,you should be able to hold up your end of the log"! I am sure some of the big carriers have some decent drivers,problem is I just don't see them anywhere? Not everyone is cut out for life on the road,and that has never been more apparent to me then in the past few years,some of the things I see people do in a truck on almost a daily basis scares the S**T outta me! Some of what I see getting out of trucks isn't much better,what happened to pride in profession? Bathing? clean clothes? Deoderant? shoes? I manage to get cleaned up everyday,one way or another? Don't own flip-flops,sweatpants,or anything of the sort.
I may be a dinosaur,but I represent my company in a professional manner,respect my customers,and my equipment to the tune of 3.5 million miles safe driving! run clean,safe equipment,and do what I say I'm going to do,right wrong or in-different!............Rants over,back to your regularly scheduled programming!.............................Mark

I agree Mike,i think it will look a lot nicer with an original type bumper,but then I like the "Old School" look on a truck.....................................Mark

Got to see this in action today,Queens,NY Home Depot,single lane around the store to the docks,i'm number 3 in line,Swift is 1st, un-fortunately (for SWIFT) it's a blindside dock! well,after about an hour of pull up back up pull up back up, guy comes out of the store,starts raising hell with the "driver" who almost instantly starts crying! (It was a man) who was dressed like a woman! so the guy tells him either get backed in the dock,or go to the back of the line (about 15 trucks by now) well now this dipshit cant get out of the situation he put himself in going forward! guy looks at me, "Clark,can YOU get in there around this asshole"? Oh hell yeah! went around him while still trying to get moved out,backed in (one shot) shucked 43 pieces,bills signed,trailer doors closed BEFORE this guy got straight enough to pull forward! don't think I've seen that many pissed off truck drivers in a LONG time! Just one more reason just because your un-employment runs out,does'nt mean you should be a truck driver!....................................Mark
