    It's FRIYAY! Just want to get it done and move on to the weekend.
    Couple of kenworths that I drove where nice. But I still prefer the newer freightliners.

    I always preferred the Pete’s over the FL’s. Much more maneuverable, at least ours were. They both broke down regularly however.
    My favorite were the old Sterling’s. Drove the same one for years and the only time it left me stranded was a broken spring. Got moved to a newer International was on a hook twice in the first three weeks.

    It's still not good, going to take a long time. It got wrenched pretty good. I still wear the hitchhiker brace when I'm at work or in my work shop at home. It could take months to heal. Takes longer when your old too.

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Louisville, 3 vehicle crash. Woman driving the truck rescued with minor injuries.

    I've been over that bridge, it's kinda spooky.

    Just enough to look kinda cool.
    We had an rv do that on a bridge out here in Idaho like 3 years ago. Concrete truck hooked a chain up to the truck and backed up hoping to hold the truck up. In reality the chain would have snapped but hey one more chain holding on probably helped.

    Scrubbed some tires, and knocked a dent out.
    I remember when they first came out. God damn great truck and a hell of an improvement over whatever that fat cow one was (cant recall) they had before it.
