Looks like you are in overdrive now!
Yes Sir. Time to wrap this thing up. Been down for 2 months now.
Looks like you are in overdrive now!
Looking good Mike! I'm sure it's a visual thing but the part aft of the rear axle sure looks like a long stretch. Will there be much/any flex back there? I can't wait to see it after it's painted.
Hey PMM!!
We've missed you over on the Auto board.
I just joined today so that I could see all the pics of this new build. Looking over this site, I'm glad I decided to join. Lots of cool stuff here.
Sorry to hear about the white truck. Where's it at now?? By the looks of the 3 pictures you put up, it looks like it would be an easy repair for you, know what I mean. Are you going to sell it or bring it back home as a "Back Up"? Had the same thing happen to me up in Ohio back in 2005 when I was with RAD. Didn't hit my truck though, took out the back corner of the 31ft "Tag" trailer I was delivering over to Pennsylvania. You got lucky here, the guy that took out my trailer didn't even stop. Was walking back to truck and something didn't look right. As I got closer, I was like what the heck!
Sure do like this new truck build. One question though, you didn't have to file IFTA on the last one did ya? Looks like you'll have to have to this one. I know with the weight of these trailers we haul, you are never never going to be working that engine and I bet your MPG is going to be much much better. Also, if you go ahead and finish the top deck from the dual to the cab, you'll have plenty of room and the carrying capacity for a 2 car backhaul gig. If Horizon is not getting you backhauls, then we need to talk. PM me and I'll tell you who NEEDS Haul & Tows desperately right now for their outbound trailer deliveries and their auto hauling backhauls.
Can't wait to see this one finished!! Don't be a stranger, OK!! Pop in over there and say HEY sometime.

I didn't know Y'all moved over to Autoexpediters when Rvtransporters shut down. I'm not registered there...... Yet.
Now that I have found you.... and Karl, Colorado, Blacktruck and Roadmedic... I'll be there shortly.
