Show us your Big Rig

[87iroc]

My dad drove a truck for 35+ yrs...maybe 40. I don't recall. He was OTR more than he wanted and barely knew my brothers and I until we were in our teens. He started driving before there were interstates.

He told us if we drove trucks he would kick our arses. So I became an engineer designing diesel engines....

I don't have a picture of mine since I got a different bus this year... but it is very similar to this one:

My current ride, 2012 Peterbilt with a 12,000 gallon tank.

A few from the past

This is all i got....does it count lol

Part of what i do at work, i was going to go OTR but i have young ones at home and don't want to be away from them.

Sadly, sometimes I miss moving things around with a hydraulic fifth wheel yard truck .

I drove a jockey truck for a while, wasnt a bad gig.

Yea it's a good way to learn how to park your boxes.....i used to have a mac day cab, but the company decided to retire it and put out $72,000 for this thing.

Pretty nice, i miss the radio though.

I love the old Fords. I did get to drive one a few years ago. Delivered it to Pampered Coach in Hew Haven.

No kidding? Yeah, that would put us pretty darned close then.

 

[Bigtanker]

Nice pics all of you. Keep them coming!

 

[Bigtanker]

i like the way your handling your big rig

"Trucker clock.....who wants it!?!?!?"

 

[Aggar]

Here's mine cleaned before harvest a couple years ago.

Here it is watering my sweetcorn last summer.

 

[Aggar]

Hammer, I use to work for Barry and John many years ago.

"Trucker clock.....who wants it!?!?!?"

Talk to teddy bear.

Nice Pete. Like the two tone on the roof.

 

[Hotdoger]

I worked for them back around 2002-2003.

They called me #1 Mother F'er.

Barry pressured me into going to Canada one time, I told him I would, but he would have to "Hold my Lunch" for me. It was my carry piece in a paper bag.

Did you drive a straight truck, or one of the **** trucks?

I ran my own cube truck for them. Had to be at least 10+ years ago. They were still on 36 in Avon.

Yea I was their Canada boy too.

I left and did a Freightliner semi streach box truck and went down to Certified/ Venture on the south side of Indy for several years before they split and closed their doors. Best money I ever made trucking. Too bad they closed.

 

[Bigtanker]

Bump for the nubees. Let me see what you drive.

 

[newdumdum9825]

ooooh truck porn!

I wish I had a pic of my grandpas Freightliner, it was a really dark purple so dark it was on the verge of being black. it was soooooo nice but sadly we had to pull him outa his rig for health reasons. It was a shame to have to sell her.

I do have a story of him tho when he was OTR. He hit a bad patch of black ice and skidded off the road into the median, and hit a big slanted drain. The trailer actually flipped onto the cab crushing it. the cab filled with coffee beans. When first responders arrived he can hear them talking and they assumed he was dead.

luckily his seatbelt broke and he fell into the floorboard of the passenger seat somehow upon impact. Saved his life


Also i have a story of a driver who left the airport in Indy, drove around 465 returned to the airport and thought he was in St. Louis. Turns out this guy was stoned and drunk

 

[bluewraith]

Do these count?

I resigned back in Feburary, but driving them was my favorite part.

 

[tv1217]

My first as an IC(big mistake) at England

Current ride is another Cascadia, white Schneider truck.
