Yeah, I think I was right next to Pacific truck and equipment and the guy in the recovery/can trailer was on the shoulder waiting to get out when the light up ahead turned.

Thought so. My F-800 came from a Podunk dealer just down the road from the Freightshaker dealer. It was surrounded by Gordon trailers.

They got some good deals in there... older stuff generally needs some TLC but they try to keep things affordable :) I was in there a few months ago and one of the guys was selling a water tank truck to some guys from over by you, it was having a brake issue- something to do with the compressor not unloading or cutting off... anyways they were going to drive it back over that afternoon.. right after they hopefully got it fixed...

In the days when I enjoyed working on big yellow stuff I looked at an Oshkosh 4X4 truck with a 14' utility body and a Pitman polecat crane, thought that would be good for offroad work. It was a monster looking beast with the forward sloped windshield. The climb to the cab door wasn't real inviting however.

That one is nobody I know, but I do see that rig over here on I-90 once or twice a month. That set of trailers looks just like half a dozen I see every now and then. But I don't put cheap plastic mudflaps on them. ;)

I'm not sure where these get milled up at??? but I do see quite a few every now and then. I know that whenever we can we save out the good straight ones on logging jobs as they pay a bit more for em' :) as long as you got enough to justify the separate operation to get em out of the area.

That one was headed east from mckenna... so probably coming up from down south rochesterway.

Yeah, just wondering. I did some equipment work out by Porter 10 years ago or so and remember a whole yard full of looong poles in Rochester by the rail yard.
