I have seen that truck at Watts more than once it might’ve been pulling the same trailer, but I was more focused on that tractor. Don’t see many with the nose sticking out past the fenders. We all discussed that trade I don’t remember why that is haul Scott perhaps and yes it’s a cool trailer

Yes, I imagine they would and Tom I had the same problem coming out of Montana one night it was 25 below 0 they told me with the older Kenworth you have to pull the sunvisor down to get defroster to work right of course we don’t have to worry about any of that now… bob

I do remember seeing a roadway , but I did see quite a few of them running around 60s and 70s and 80s they were quite common for sometime. GMC also had a version similar. Bob

Longshoremen chief negotiator - "I will cripple you"
mowerman replied to kscarbel2's topic in Odds and Ends
Besides I used to be a teamster years ago And I was asking one of the representatives about far-fetched demands and he told me no we don’t expect to get anything like that. We just shoot for High and settle for anything decent. They hand us kind of like selling a car you set up with a very high price not expecting to get it if you can get it fine and that made sense to me. I was just a very young guy back then. -

Yes, I’m sure they needed them up there as well

I’ve actually been up there numerous times where they close the road right behind me. It was so bad also chained up one night and they close the road. I had to turn around and go back and take them off.

I’m sure you fellas have heard a time or two sometimes that passes closed 2-3 days on account of too much snow that’s the one they have to go up there and completely clean the entire pass with those big cutters
-
We are around 40 miles east of the big mountain and we really don’t see a whole lot of it here mostly just cold air. A lot of winners will get just a few inches half dozen times and a lot of times it’s all melted off by noon. Yes, I cry way more about the weather around here than it really is.
-
Yes, I have heard that from Cattle and hay drivers
-
