We know exactly who hit it LOL. Your right Bruce it was another semi.

here is the rim of that truck that got caught on the lugs on mine.



You can see the red marks half way down the trailer



It was a female JB Hunt driver, and she went inside and asked who's truck that was so good thing didn't run away.

And yes Tom, drive a family wagon LOL. I don't buy it, I don't pay the insurance, the fuel or the repairs so I don't get a say in the brand LOL. Although does ride nice. It's also a 2012 LOL.

i call them family station wagons because they are just like driving one.
ride like on clouds, air conditioning that will freeze you out of the cab, unbelievable sound system with in the steering wheel controls, power mirrors, heated mirrors, the best visibility i have ever seen in a truck, i mean almost no blind spots visibility. power seats with 9 different adjustments for driver comfort, fantastic fuel mileage with a 425 hp engine and 10 speed trans at 7 mpg.
what else am i missing Rob?

Actually 465HP, 1670ft/lbs tq 12spd autoshift and 7.4mpg.

not only great AC, but in the winter a heater that even below zero I have never turned all the way up.

Oh and even tho don't use it a nice sleeper with lots of storage space.

Dan, not easy on the eyes particularly although not as bad as many. BUT she was older then ME.

No pics sorry.


But along those lines, I remember being in a truck stop seeing a chick with LONG blonde hair, built like a brick you know what house and I do mean STACKED as well as decent legs and tail. Turned around and her face looked like she had been rode hard and put up wet. guessing looking at the guy she was with, probably in her mid maybe even late 60s and once again DAMN for the rest of her.

i worked at a recycling sorting facility for a stint and we used to have several truckers picking up loads, a good many women out of the bunch. out of the women maybe 2 were alright, one of which was just a ride along wife, 2 were 60+ heffers and the others were all just barely millimeters above the worst lot lizards you've ever seen

i believe i told my lot lizard story some where online, here or nwu, but if you haven't heard it i'm bored and i'll tell it again.

Rob, that's a damn nice truck.

I hate several effing things this morning but the top of the list is the erector set I call a back...

Yesterday I got stuck working down in the pits of hell working on a screw conveyor, bucket elevator and some pos hydraulics.-most of the time bent over at the waist or kneeling but still bent over. Last night and so far today my back has been a mfing horror show. I didn't sleep a wink and percs seem to have zero effect. This is the first time I can recall being in "pain" from my back since my surgery over 2yrs ago. Its hurt a couple times here and there but nothing bad. Today this sob HURTS!

Today I'm on scheduled work overtime. This means to go home I have to use vacation time and only get paid my regular wage. Overtime money is just too damn good. :-(

the one i run is a tri axle dump truck ,so it has no sleeper.
i heard those autoshift trucks are sweet. the bossman i do the most work for is looking at a 3 year old T-800 tri axle with a 550 Cat and an auto trans.

kris, call up paul for a special delivery. he knows where the good drugs are, damn hippie kids.

on a related note, i hate screw conveyors. cnc machining company i worked for had some ridiculous setup where a few machining centers had their chips and coolant flowing together into a screw conveyor to a single scrap hopper to save space. it was a horse shyte setup that failed regularly and ate motors left and right. nothing like digging a long heavy auger blade out of a few hundred pounds of metal chips. twas not a fun task.
