Popular Post other dog Posted May 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2020 I saw a big Mack truck in Ohio, might have posted it before. I've loaded in Weirton a couple of times and I just cross the river and run down rt.7 to the bridge at St. Mary's, WV and cross over to rt.2 and run it to I-77 at Parkersburg. I saw a picture of a girl in a truck on the interweb. I even saw a flatbed reefer- I saw a helicopter too, but it was in the sky over McKeesport, Pa. This R model was parked at the scrap yard in Port Vue, where I took a load of scrap Inconel. Looks like a 6 speed. Had a hay rake on the trailer. Train in Port Vue, Pa. Mixer in S.C. I haven't seen any girls in any cars, but here's another one from the interweb. 5 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Vladislav Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hmm... Difficult to choose the favorite between "in a car" and "in the truck". So I would go for the R-model Nice "DMM in the hills" picture too. Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to see them in the Westvaco paper mill in Covington but I never knew what they hauled either. They had a lot of axles on all their trailers though.

A few years back I was talking to a guy that worked for the company that makes most of the round cylinder containers for frozen juices and pringles style potato chips. Said that when switched suppliers and bought rolls of metal from up north and transport them to the south to their plant in SC, that by the time the temperature changed from the north to the heat and humidity of the south, that the rolls would begin to rust. So, they started shipping them in refers. Quote Ed Smith1957 B85F 1242 "The General Ike" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post david wild Posted May 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2020 Your covered wagon as you call them is for hauling rolls out a mill, or mill rolls we call them, Turner has div. just for hauling mill rolls and run up to 13 axle special built by Trail King mill roll trailers, Thermo king units you see are actually Heat kings and make heat so the rolls don't get chilled. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyGunner Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 There’s a watermark in the blondes picture. Type in the name “big rig Barbie” and there’s lots more “truck” pics to enjoy. 1 Quote The problems we face today exist because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living.The government can only "give" someone what they first take from another.

Brocky Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) All the eastern Matlack trucks had Dayton wheels. Matlack bought out PIE Tank Lines in the later 60's early 70's. Possible they painted PIE Budd wheel trucks Green and yellow???? Edited June 8, 2020 by Brocky Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
