Are those Air Force markings on that rig?

Via Twitter comments, it's "USA Truck".

OK thanks, somebody has grabbed that for a corporate logo.

Gravdigr · 01-10-2019, 01:00 PM

It's looks like the old USAF logo. Color is a bit different, also.

Happy Monkey · 01-10-2019, 01:13 PM

It's still the current USAF roundel, but lighter blue. It doesn't seem like that should be OK, but they've been doing it for a long time.

Gravdigr · 01-10-2019, 02:05 PM

Then I'm wrong.

Happy Monkey · 01-10-2019, 03:04 PM

Well, you're right that it's an old USAF logo (dates back to WWII) with a slightly different color. But, while it is old in terms of years, it's not old in terms of replaced.

I feel like that company used to be bigger. I remember seeing that logo pretty frequently years ago.

In local trucking, a load of fracking sand got stuck under the railroad bridge by my work that took the AC off the top of an RV last summer.

I remember working in a warehouse in the 90s, we they had a USA Trucking lane in the shipping dept.

They took Medusa to a car show, got separated at a gas station, so he waited out side the show because she had the money.
I think she was also in charge.

Pretty cheap for a fully prepped, blown, injected race motor, plus a ton of spare parts and a whole barrel of nitro..

Gravdigr · 01-13-2019, 12:26 PM

I used to have a 76 Pontiac Lemans Sport Coupe. Had a .060 over Pontiac 400, healthy cam, massaged 7M5 heads (or some such alphanumeric designation) and a Quadrajet from a grain truck engine, iirc it was 427.

I had right at $3000 in that motor, machine work and all.

That was a fairly heavy car, and it would boogie right on down the road.

Canadians moving a propylene/propane splitting tower.
The load and trucks is 587’ long, 31’ wide, 42’ high, weighs over 900 U.S. tons, and has 912 tires.

Wowser.
The front four trucks look like horse teams.

My God, the logistics of that move...
