Not too shabby for a Peterbuilt.

Same here, the ole 1990 W9 looks kinda chitty after sitting in the shed all winter. I'll get em out and cleaned up and post a few.

I always love going out west to and seeing the real trucks pulling combo trailers. What do you guys gross pulling those.

I don't own a rig but in high school I worked at a detail shop and we had two rigs come through while I was working there that were worth noting. Maybe you guys will like them as much as I did.

This is a Pete 359, it had the Cat engine and a pretty interesting Spicer tranny. It was a show truck but the guy also worked it too so it wasn't some show queen.

Here is the truck from when i was doing logging, dumping the wood chips out.

That classic would look good without all the red and polished tanks and wheels but im kind of simple in my taste of trucks.

:eek: How..The..FAWK does that thing stay on there!?!? :what:

It just rest on the DOT bumper, toss a chain on the front tow hook.

I'm with you but like I said it was on Trick My Truck and they like to do things all fancy. It was supposed to be like an old steam locomotive, at least that's the theme they were after.

the truck i am currently driving; 330hp3126 cat with a 10sp.. '93 fl w/ 667k on it

ADM used to dump corn trucks on massive hoists like that wood chip truck! Pretty cool

I'm not exactly a trucker, but here are my little baby trucks.

My brother in law has a dumper like that they use to dump chips at his pellet plant.

This is what I drive on occasion, 1995 Ford L9000 Cummins making with an Eaton Fuller 8spd behind it.

anywhere from 105,500 in washington to 108,000 and 110,000 in montana. i can only haul 110k (legally) if im bridged out 20 feet behind my lead trailer, i have two scale tickets this last week where i was over 120k gross LOL i only did that because i didnt have to go through any weigh stations

holy ****...thats phuckin crazy :eek:

i assume the reason for the drop axles mid-trailer is that you guys are not allowed to pull doubles? trailers like that would SCREW our bridge weight laws LOL

We CAN pull doubles (like B-Trains) but they still limit you to 120k with a permit (steel coils only) and have a heavier empty weight so in OH and KY you can haul less with trains. The lift axles are for MI only, they don't allow any more weight in OH although you can use them if you wish. The bridge laws are stupid.

we cant make any money pulling B-trains, we have a couple sets of A-trains, but canada really doesn't like to see those, almost all our trailers are R-Tac hoppers (35 foot lead, 30 foot pup)

Yea but at least you can back up a B-train, not so easy with an A-train.:hehe:

i can back mine up about 100 yards, but i cant back around corners haha

ok whats an A and B train?

Just a guess but google says: Truck and Bus Glossary

B-train

i cant find a pic of an A-train

the ones we pull are called "R-tac's" 35 foot lead trailer with a 30 foot pup and an extendable/retractable tongue on the pup

bad azz guys thanks..

Y'all got some balls!! That's pretty cool stuff.

Now out west like Montanna they try to make the tongue long so you can get more weight because they measure off you steer axle and the rear drive right. I drive a truck in IN and we just have pretty much set weight limits on axles not really on length.
Ive delivered some stone slingers in Bozeman and stayed out there for a couple weeks.

hey Taylor were you out Oregon here a week or 2 back? I saw a rig that looked just like yours rollin though the cabbage scale

B- trains I run

bad azz hay truck.. how much you get to gross?
