guitarsam326 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I'm not sure if there's a topic on this forum like this already, but if there is just point me in the right direction. I thought it would be cool if all the "drivers" out there could post pictures of the big rigs they drive, you never know we might run into each other some time. I mostly stay in NC and VA but hey, who knows right? anyways, ill start off, I drive an array of different trucks for my company so here goes!

Petetrucker07 Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 (edited) I dont have any pics of what i currently drive. Simply because the company is gettin rid of old trucks, buyin new. I dont know what ill be drivin for a couple more months, rumored to be a new '15 KW. But this is what used to drive at the previous company. The blue truck i drove for a short time. The white truck was stolen a week after this show. Edited January 4, 2015 by Petetrucker07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btapper Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 My month old Freightliner Cascadia Evo. I pretty much haul air/ocean freight from Pittsburgh to PHL/EWR and back 3 times a week. So if you see a white cascadia going by you at 72mph on the pa turnpike, good chance it's me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabrux Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Jeff, how many yards is the drum on your mixer? Curious about the extra axles on that thing. What is the one up at the fill port for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rctruk Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Jeff, how many yards is the drum on your mixer? Curious about the extra axles on that thing. What is the one up at the fill port for? Chris: That truck hauls 10.5 yards at a gross weight of #76000. The extra axles are to satisfy the AZ weight laws...two air activated pushers and the hydraulic booster (the one by the charge hopper). The booster axle lengthens the truck to 40ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabrux Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I figured it had to be a hefty drum to have that many axles! The most common mixers I see are double-tandem trucks with 8 yard drums, look like this: The biggest drum I've seen in my short concrete testing career was a 10 yard drum, but it was on a trailer.

guitarsam326 Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Awesome guys, it's funny to see that peterbilt still uses that funky clutch pedal, our 86 359 is the same way! Jeff, I always liked the t800's, and every time I have a choice, I pic our over any other truck.

Petetrucker07 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The owner thinks he knows who did it. They took the time to drop the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petetrucker07 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 First time i ever sat in a truck i was 3. First ride in a truck, 4. First time driving a truck, around the block, 13. A birthday gift from a family friend from South Dakota. It was Freightliner Classic XL. 13 speed, 600 horse 60 series. In kindergarten i could spell International. My grandpa used to say when i was little if i fell and cracked my head open, trucks would come rollin out. Guess i was doomed from the start to be a truck driver.

Dad drove since he was 18 and he's still driving, then there's countless uncles and cousins on both sides of my parents family who drive, so why not me right?
