Where's the truckers at?

[harrysmith500]

Just wondering who the other truckers are here on snowest.

Who you work for, what you drive, ect.....


My family has a sand and gravel hauling out fit. I do a bunch of the heavy haul and some flat bedding. Main ride is a 78' W900A with a set of sticks.

I work for a propane company... we run everything from small bobtails to tridems to super B's with some picker trucks thrown in for good measure. Been buying mostly Petes and Kenworths.

Fill me in here, what is a a 78' W900A with a set of sticks? I'm guessing its 78 feet long whatever it is......

 

[Trashy]

Or is it a 1978 twin stick?

 

[harrysmith500]

you got it. Its a A model kenworth with a brownie transmission. Pretty fun to drive but I only pull empty trailers with it anymore. I use a newer truck for actual work...

We just have Volvo's, nothing special.

Home every day, good money, stress free unless it's snowing ( =

I've been trucking on/off for 15 years (which is nothing in the trucking industry). Right now, I'm working as a fertilizer plant manager, but still have my CDL for deliveries and whatnot. Spent most of my first years trucking hauling grain working for custom cutters. I like what I do now, it's nice to be home every night and I make a decent living, but the thought of dropping it all and going trucking (especially with the way north dakota is booming) is always in the back of my mind.

Here is today's venture

 

[Pedersen]

Drive for a small family-company, I am the potato of the company that jumps between truck as needed, but most in a Scania with a crane mounted behind the cab. The rest in a tanker or a hooklift. Drive most local here in the north of Norway, but some longer trips. All trucks are Scania with the exeption of a Volvo FH500 hooklift bought this weekend as a backup.

Those Scanias are some pretty cool rigs. Kinda surprising we never see them here...!!

True...... This weeks adventure took me to portland Oregon from salt lake.

The 90,000 pound crane I took up.

Getting loaded with a back haul.

 

[Pedersen]

Interesting to see, we do things slightly different (or we build our trucks different) .
Have a Wide load scheduled next week if I get all the paperworks done. We need police-escort from from around 3,5 meters (12-13 feet) and if we get higher than 4,3 meters (due to all the tunnels)
Will try to get some pictures.

Pedersen your Scania has a mighty fine bumper, is that off your sled by chance??

If it's the cowcatcher (direct translation) you refering too it's not made from my sled, but pretty nice to have when you have as much moose around as we have. (why do I feel like you'r having fun with me?)
On the Scania on the left you can see how little damage a moose does just below the turning light. the moose flew 20 meters along the autofence, breaking both back feet, the back, some bones in it's chest and one of the head thingys (don't know the word)
