I agree with your post about drivers not liking cameras in their trucks billy. We just got them and I hate every second of it. They (our company) said these were not put into the trucks to weed out bad drivers and fire them but to use any mistakes they see as coachable moments. They said the same thing about our elogs and they now have used both to doc bonuses and fire drivers. They also take those so-called coachable moments and play them in front of the whole pool of drivers at quarterly safety meeting which I think is wrong and humiliating for those drivers. I personally voiced my concern to my boss about this and said I do not want my video played in front of everyone if I ever have a recording. Mind you I have a clean mvr and have never had a speeding ticket or an accident.

i came across this craigslist ad this morning and had to read it twice to make sure I was really reading what I thought I had. https://greatfalls.craigslist.org/hvo/6019455306.html

Weren't able to get up around babb, st Mary's or much of the stuff north of cutbank for quite some time. As fast as a road would get punched out the wind would pick up and fill it right back in.

Why does the blue and white truck say big red on the side?

That's awesome. My Lincoln only has a 4 banger gas job in it. Very nice restoration job.

She's the first one to call someone on here names yet when I give her a hard time about her line "you guys don't get it I retired at 55 and do whatever I want" she plays the typical liberal victim card. "You attacked a member". Attacking you teamstergrrrl would be calling you names like you do to others on here on a regular basis. I don't like you but I still don't resort to name calling like you do. But I'm sure like every other conversation you'll either be right (because you've never been wrong yet) or play another victim card or call someone a name again.

You just keep sitting there in La la land milking your fellow teamsters for your early retirement and medical bennies you made on their backs.

How about putting the news up about everyone who lost insurance under our current healthcare system? Or how about how premiums have doubled or tripled and are supposed to go up 110% in AZ this year? Like rowdy said the old plans (high deductible low cost) great because anyone can save seven to ten grand for their deductible. Pay it just like a monthly premium and guesswhat?! If you don't use that money sitting in your account it's still yours, you don't lose it if you don't use it like the plans are...but I forgot, like the guy who framed Obama care put it the American people are to stupid to realize this is a tax.

Would make a bitchin motor home.

I think she was either airing or drying it out.

No. From what I've seen the government is the absolute best at wasting money and far overpaying for things. I used to sell the bureau of reclamation chemicals for containing noxious weeds until one year they went with a big box store brand company and I can tell you with certainty they paid far more because guys at the BOR told me what they paid and when I chuckled and thought I had this sale in the bag because I could beat that price bad they told me they were being told from the top where to buy things no matter the price. So I think the government is piss poor at negotiating since it's our money they're spending and there are no consequences to for being bone heads.

So why would mack not capitalize on an engine that makes more horsepower then claim less? Doesn't make sense to me. Where do you come up with idea that Mack has always sand bagged its hp ratings? Is it based in actual fact or just "it feels like it pulled better"?

Yes. They're putting autos so you can throw a newbie with little to no experience behind the wheel of a truck. I understand wholly all of you who learned how to drive and are now enjoying your autos in stop and go delivery and vocational work. But as far as I'm concerned you can have be auto I'll keep the stick, I'm far more comfortable with it.

Wow that's a cute little bugger

This year was willys/jeeps 75th anniversary and jp magazine did a really cool 7 part history of jeeps. After WWII the first CJ's (civilian jeeps) went for for sale and were mostly marketed as farm equipment and other vocational equipment. You could get them with a drawbar, pto and many implements to run off of the pto. There were trenching attachments, big pto driven onboard welders, seed cleaners and many more uses and attachments. It's pretty interesting to google it and see all of the old brochures for implements for the willys.

the abs on the tractor doesn't appear to have been working properly either

People have no shame. Giggling and taking pictures in your sweat pants and slippers at WORK!

He's outa his fricking mind on $50K for the asking price and delusional about it fetching $500K at Barrett Jackson.

Probably takes them twice as long if it's a stick. I'm unashamedly biased against automatics in trucks because the main reason for it is to put more inexperienced driver behind the seat because it's just like driving your Camry.

No, every farmer abuses that exemption.

If you're only hauling some on the side I'd definitely save up some $$$ and fix/ rebuild your older truck. That way you could cash flow your rebuild and not have a monster payment on something. If you had all new running gear and took good care of it it would probably last you until you decide to quit trucking.

Come up to Montana during tourist season and you'll see plenty of bone heads and blue hairs doing all kinds of stupid stuff. When I used to haul cows to Nebraska I used to have to take a highway that paralleled the freeway because I had over 5 axles and was was very impressed with their laws. The signage was 70mph for trucks and 50 mph for pickups pulling fifth wheels. Always amazed me that you can pull a 30+ foot camper with a boat behind it at 70mph and a semi with far more braking power to handle the weight safely is 60 mph. It also chaps my butt that farmers and their employees do not have to get cdl's to drive a class A truck and trailer as long as they are only hauling their own stuff.

Had no clue that you could buy a 63' fifth wheel camper to pull with a 1 ton pick up! It's cool, it's huge but it's been a pet peeve of mine (people without a cdl pulling big loads, driving trucks with air brakes in the name of rv-ing) https://billings.craigslist.org/rvs/6004209835.html

I loved watching the pilots practice their touch and go's at Gowen AFB. They don't look it but are far more nimble than one would suspect.

That is one sharp dump truck. Should have no problem moving that one.
