Ok ok ok, so what is it with these concrete pumpers? I see one the other day called Putzmeister, and here tonight I see one called Schwing? Please tell me this is a huge joke. WOW.

Sure is funny though. I almost wrecked my SUV when I saw putzmeister I was laughing so hard.

Ooooohhhhhh! Never heard that term before

Sam, a glider kit is a chassis with the cab and hood, without the rears or the motor and trans. It was a way to get a new truck without getting a new truck. It was great for a wrecked truck, or if your cab was falling apart before the rest of the truck(Freightliner).

I know right? It's a big Whiskey Tango Foxtrot moment.

Well I've got my American and POW flags hanging up from my balcony for today, and am going to go out and go shooting today while it's still legal to do so, will be illegal in 60 days, unless it's your own. You can't even show your buddy the new gun you just bought anymore, it's illegal. Ok rant on that over. Have fun today fella's.

and another local, but this old Chevy is probably past saving from the berry bushes. Not sure what it was, too big for a wrecker, maybe a well drilling rig?

That old crane looks like it was used for loading hay.

That makes sense, they grow a lot of hay in the area. I didn't know a crane was commonly used, my limited (and unfortunate) experience with loading hay involves a lot of lifting, sneezing and itching.

Here are some from my travels

Gotta love the paint schemes on Wolfpack rigs

If anyone has ever seen the Jason Aldean video for Night Train you will notice that his stage show entourage of trucks are featured in it. I saw all nine trucks at a T/A in Virginia back in 2013.

The old Clay Millican race hauler from 2007. This is sitting like this at the Werner trailer yard in Omaha.

That's what WAS used. No they use squeezes. Basically a big road forklift.

They can get a bit flashy.

Those forklifts are kinda ugly I think but I'd probably do something similar if I had one so I'm not one to talk. HAH.

That old Chevy though, beautiful.

They like driving those on the roads, even see them on the freeway sometimes.

Seems like it wouod be dangerous if someone got hit by a forklift doing 65mph or more.
