    Default Large Car

    My dad and I was at WalMart this morning and we came across this truck. Pretty good size bedroom. Not bad for an International.

    WTF can he haul with that thing? Feathers?

    The 5th wheel is back behind the rearmost drive axle and it doesn't appear he could slide it forward without the nose of the trailer colliding with the sleeper.

    Good luck getting the axle weights legal with that one.
    If you can't shift it smoothly, you shouldn't be driving it.

    He might have brought a load of toilet paper to WalMart, and they went shopping.

    That tractors probably configured for hauling a huge 5th wheel camper.

    I've seen a couple like that too. I asked what they might be able to haul with it, and I was told... "A race car". In a few instances, someone with money gets one for a motorhome.

    I usually see those with a race car or show horse trailer behind them. Sometimes they have "Recreational Vehicle" stenciled on them and no DOT numbers. I didn't know you could do that, but I guess if you are not for hire you can.

    Classic case of Pete envy, I'd say.

    What the designers all think that all truckers WANT to be able to reach acroos the truck to roll down the window NOT be able to see behind the sleeper to back up when needed. Also that normal people would needed to squeeze thourgh a space tighter than the spot between the frame and cab of and International gives you to change the slave Clyinder on the transmission to get to the bunk.

    My passenger window operates by air, no need to reach across. I do hang my cup holders on the passenger door, and that's pretty convenient. I have no trouble getting into my sleeper and I'm normal, well almost normal, well I think I'm normal but my wife thinks I'm nuts.

    I love the old Peterbilts, I'd like to find an old model 350 and restore it.

    My old boss always said: The cab of a Peterbilt, You can heat it with a match but you cant keep it cool with an ice cube.

    After lift-off, turn right at the moon, then left at the milky way... Third star on the left and fire retro-rockets...
    These new trucks look more like space ships than trucks.
    And, I can tell you that "built in Mexico" does NOT mean quality.
    The new trucks the company just started getting in last week are Petes. And, certified clean idle.
