Ridge Runner Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Grub Don't bother Doc he could still be on his honeymoon. Some of us it last longer than others. Heck my friend next door has been on ten of them. Not one time with the same woman. I couldn't believe when he told me but it's true.

DOC Posted August 23, 2015 Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 Grubbie didn't win. No one has won yet. His answer was posted on a different thread and I had moved it over to the contest thread. Who in the hell goes to Norfolk Virginia for a honeymoon? I have never been in Virginia in my life.So no Grubbie is out of the running.Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grubstake1 Posted August 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2015 DOC, I've been all over, I delivered the BULL Wheel for the upper ski lift at Killington Vermont, from Carson City NV. where it was made, oversized load, it was 15ft in dia. and I had to be there in 6 days, to meet a chopper that was taking it to the top of the mountain. Hawk missils out of RED River Army Depot into White Sands . You would be surprised at what I hauled, and where. Grubstake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyDigger Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hey GrubbySpent the better part of 10 years running OTR, and most of that was with aa 45x96 skateboard or 53' step-deck behind me. Pulled a few loads of militaryhardware and vehicles, but thanks to a strong survival instinct I never acceptedany loads that could possibly go "Boom!".Hung it up in 2000. Miss the open road a bit now and then, but I just remindmyself what glare ice looks like, or having to put up with lot lizards every timeya try to get a good nights sleep at a truck stop.I'm 4F now, but gotta admit it'd be fun to get back out there for a run andwear out a few gears. Do they still put real trannys into trucks, or havethey call gone to automatics? 'Bout hurt myself laughing the first timeI saw one of those automatics, but everyone swears they're the cats meow.Just don't see the fun in it..

Grubstake1 Posted August 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 I don't knowmike, about the trannies. I quit driving longhaul in 95. Mine was a 400 Cat with a 15 speed tranny. Big KW long wheel base, pulled everything, from 40footers to the 53 footers, Mostly heavy haul stuff, and yes I did haul stuff that went BOOM! C&H transport out of Dallas TX, and then For Arrow, Lucky I got ff the road before they screwed there drivers when they shut down.
