  1. One of the "major" carriers has a small satellite terminal near here with a CDL "training"" facility on premises. Trouble is this,they guarantee classroom to highway in 10 days! and an additional 10/20 days with a "certified trainer" (90 days solo qualifies you as a trainer BTW) The DMV has a long list of available languages you can take your test in,or utilze a certified translator. Women are encouraged to apply,as now all our fleet is 100% autoshift! I tend to agree with Mike,the trucking industry did this to itself,and I have no sympathy for the fallout left behind! with all the new laws etc. near poverty wages damn near impossible to make a decent living in a truck anymore,who the hell would WANT to drive a truck? the answer is just as expected,bottom of the barrel,that have nowhere else to go,thats who! Big money driving? bullshit! home every weekend? bullshit? but they will find out soon enough what the "real world/road: is like!..............................................Mark

  2. McDevitts is a great place to deal with,i've been there several times,and was always impressed at the amount of knowledge the employees/counter-guys have. Not many places left with that level of service experience!...............................................Mark

  3. I have also heard Mack had a shit-fit when AMT released the "Junkyard Dog" and it was the beginning of the end of their working relationship. The kit was never well received by Mack.or the general public and as such Mack did in fact pull their licensing agreement with AMT. It is EXTREMELY hard (so I have been told) to get Mack to agree to any model or toy development,prolly why we will never see a CH,CX,CV,or Titan in a complete kit form,which is a real shame,cause I'm positive they would sell with both us modelers and truck enthusiasts................................Mark.

  4. Paul,i have a few cab kits from Dave as well,i want to do his MB up in APA livery like the one I drove way back when! Going to use the AMT shorthauler Ford for the chassis,body and I know Jerry over at Modeltruckin.com has the decals...................................Mark

  5. Lol! not even CLOSE! never had this one as a kid,pretty hard to find nowadays,there is a transkit in resin now to build the correct RL,but it ain't cheap either! made by my friend Dave Natale up in Egg Harbor,NJ.......................................Mark
