WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE TRUCK, & THE TRUCK DRIVER, GO BEYOND RETIREMENT?

I would like to thank RAYMOND WARRILOW for the use of, ( my after retirement ) truck  photo, from his web site.

EVEN CANADIANS CAN'T ALWAYS BE SERIOUS. WE NEED A HUMOROUS BREAK NOW AND THEN, TO MAINTAIN OUR SANITY. RIGHT?

RELAX AT THE CHILLY BEACH CLUB, AND LET YOUR SANITY REJUVENATE.

The Millau viaduct is part of the new E-11 expressway connecting Paris and Barcelona and features the highest bridge piers ever constructed. The tallest is 240 meters high and the overall height will be an impressive 336 meters, making this the highest bridge in the world.

These great photos were taken during the final stages of construction.

We can thank SIEGLER ARNOLD for allowing the use of his photos

THIS IS WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU BLOW A TURBO, (OIL, OIL EVERYWHERE.)

CAN YOU HELP A FRIEND, LOOKING FOR THAT SPECIAL TRUCK.

I've been thinking about coming out of retirement, maybe you can help me.... I'd like to find a good, used cabover/conventional (with bug-deflector and visor), 32 speed splitter and 5 position JAKE. (The 5 position Jake is a MUST... When I come roaring off the git-off ramp at the local choke-n-puke with my cowboy hat on, I want to make a GOOD impression so that after I've circled the lot 6 times I am treated with respect... (Being of the "old school" I'm sure you understand.)

I need a 44 1/2 foot Thermo King flat-bed reefer with anti-jackknife bar. I know that with a flatbed reefer I have the right rig for any load that comes along... Don't even have to worry about over-heads, just hammer-down...

I had one guy who told me he knew where I could get a 1973 KW International convertible,
230" WB with twin corkscrew stacks.
V10 Cummins with the screws twisted all the way (you should see the flames shoot out the stacks late at night)
New gumbo rubber all around and new sticky brakes (slick drums & slackless adjusters too). He also told me, all this can be mine for $2500 plus a signature on a $250,000 life insurance policy with him as the beneficiary. I told him that all this was interesting but I really had my heart set on a cabover/conventional.

I'd even be willing to put in my own CB. (I have one with a 10,000 watt kicker... Yes sir, when I key that baby up all the lights within a 20 mile radius go out..) With that ole CB of mine, I just love to key-up at the choke-n-puke... It shuts off all the lights and creates a "humming" or "buzzing" sound for the whole area and has some looking for "UFO's"..

You see Bill, I met a dispatcher here who has assured me that he can keep me rolling as much as I want, and that any load he gives me, I can deliver anywhere I want, anytime I want.. As you can see I can't pass that up. We all know how dispatcher's are, but this one I am sure I can trust cuz he was patting me on the back while we were talking.. (Though his hand was just a little lower than I like.)

If you can help me on this I would appreciate it...

Truckers from all around the world rarely, ever receive the credit due for the outstanding services performed, making management look good, while being left, hanging in the background.

I would like to thank Dick Lower and his SPIRIT OF THE ROAD, for awarding my site for a second time. It is truly appreciated.
