Brites keeps their trucks looking good. Glad your posting again PeterMack, this thread was slow without you!

Ha, thanks. Been an extremely busy summer. I've been taking pictures and people send pictures to me all the time but I haven't had much time to post. Scott, the guy that used to drive the grey R model for Brites is in a T800 now. He said the new guy in the R-model beats the shit out of it and he said that is probably the cleanest that truck will ever be. Sounds like it will get run into the ground. Sad:angry:

Did they find the sink hole next to the storm drain that needed to be repaired?

3 years ago. I was moving a grinder from job to job for a crew.. on the last job they were grinding up against the curb when the machine fell thru the pavement into a washed out sewer pipe. it almost went over. we had t tie it off to a loaded dump truck and wait for the wrecker to get there.

Gravity is a real bitch out in the Chicago area.

Yes it is! I need to clear a few pictures out of my phone. This CH layed over at Curran's in DeKalb two years ago. I remember this truck showed up for about two weeks at the end of that summer. He didn't last long.
