    Also, I was wondering what year tow drivers started removing the driveshaft

    Forgot to mention, they were all painted Allied van lines, colors, and all in really good shape like they had been restored

    I don’t even recall ever seeing one on the road when I was a kid I’m sure I did, but when I moved to California and used to go to the Bay Area quite a bit I believe it was Allied. Van lines had a bunch of them running around the bay area all cleaned up middle 80s. I don’t know what was up with that and I don’t know how many they actually had, but I used to see at least one of them all the time around Oakland. Still working… Aaaaahhhhh good old days.

    That was very interesting thanks for that … don’t get the so called 25 billion spent so far ,,, military already paid and ready equipment already owned … but I expect they probably had to buy more high priced fighters that adds up quickly

    Well, I’ve made a lot of mistakes of my time if I could go back and do it all over and pick the right routes I would be signing up for it now I used to hear older fellows when I was a real young guy saying the same thing. I wish we could start over and know what we know now didn’t quite know if they were talking about now that I’m old. I see what they were talking about. sorry Larry it seems to keep going off rail ha ha ha I know you probably don’t care that’s all interesting conversation.

    Excellent,, thanks for that ,,, lately around here people are air b and b ing thier campers as little as 85 bucks a day off season… I told Mrs mower if you could find a freight liner,,, I would drive it all over the place without crying

    Haven’t been over here in a while thanks for that. The whole thing sucks. I feel sorry for lots of people that have to use a lot of it especially especially independent truc truckers ….his go around. It doesn’t really affect me much at all. I usually only drive 30 miles a week. and my car is not a gas hog. Let’s hope this mess ends shortly… bob

    Well, I retired a year and a half ago. I was glad I called it quits in a Peterbilt instead of that Volvo I was stuck in for a year or so ha ha that was a real nice looking rig you had there Tom thanks for the post Tell Xena I said hi…. Bob

    Oh, one more thing it usually takes me way longer than I figured to do anything. It doesn’t have to be truck repairs. Also home repairs that’s it ….back to Larry.

    I had that issue with a car 50 years ago and one lamp someone had put a single filament replacement bulb in where a double was required… point being I would start with unplugging turn signal lamps one at a time … good luck… bob
