Buster's BS

Ok the first awaited installment of this thread. If you would like to post and hit on my spelling or grammer, please go somewhere else. Thanks bb
Not to take exception to a post made by, OXB. 27 gears, maybe for off roads things. maybe a nine speed and a 3 speed Brownlite behind, but high speed over the road will knock the fillings out of your teeth. The drive line alignment was a bitch.
But I made my 1st trip hauling ice packed chicken when I was around 15 years old. This truck had a 150 hp engine, with a blower so we had 170 hp. I think the they called it a Cummings JT.
Ive seen trucks with 250 HP and a 5 and 4 tranmission run on level gound, no wind 100 mph.
At that time, the chickens were ice packed, and had to have ice blown in on top and into the bunker. BTW they didn't pay for water or ice. We call the little engine on front of trailer called a put-put. It ran a fan that moved the air. Cranked with a rope on a little walkway on front of trailer.

Anyway I have driven trucks with eight speed roadrangers, 15 speed, 4 by 4, 5 by 4, 9 speed splicers.
Most today are air shift and don't require 2 sticks.
Most freight co's use a 5 speed box, don't want to confuse the union members.
When you get get right with your truck, you can change gears with out the clutch. Except for red lights.
Boy talk about a kick in butt, be sailing along at 80 mph and some hayseed pulls out in front of you.
If you can remember what gear you need to be in to get rolling again, my hats off to you.
27 gears. Maybe, but someone must be counting reverse.
If you think that isn't a trip. I once was in a parking lot in Indio, CA. That was almost empty. So I was pilled to gills and thought, let's see what happens if I put this sucker in high reverse. Holly shit. bb

Can't find the photo of longnosed KW that I drove. Parked in french qt. before they screwed it up with worlds fair.

Oh high reverse can be fun , you get going WAY fast ,, fucking BACKWARDS !!!!!!!

I have never had to deal with a 27 speed , 13 is the max i have EVER had to deal with .

The company i work for has 2 Volvos 440 450 hp i think , one truck weigh 65,000 lbs , the other ( with the 450 ) weighs 45,000 lbs , talk about power to weight ratio !!!!! that thing is a fucking 45,000 lb Porche !!!
Oh and one of our "drivers " has already ripped the rear end out from under it and put it nose down in a ditch !!!
" but I was ONLY going 40 mph !!!"
Yeah RIGHT !!!!!

9 speed x 3 behind = 27 + 3 reverse. A real joy hauling 4800 gallons of milk into NYC. Some people saw yellow cabs, I saw red...bastards.
Now the engines are getting so big they can use automatics in the lowlands but I wouldn't want to do the mountain states with one. That's moot anyway because I gave up my truck license when they went to CDL. Too much hassle with that damn thing. You get a ticket driving anything anywhere and it gets tallyed at home.

Ok. I'm going to jump to subject of JUSTICE! Today I was using the county paper for only thing that they’re good for. Place under deep frier to catch grease. OOpps I'd better edit my sig. or someone might drop a bomb on me.
Anyway, Back in past the HDlines were,
14 year old girl kill in auto wreck. Not much detail. A freind gave me a paper from another county. Guess who was in car? The mayor's son. It was his step daughter, who he was (anyway). Story is that he has 13 DWIs, but they never get to court. Yes Boss Hog Is alive. My great town is one of few that has radar, hell the county sheriffs in MS. can't even get one. Boombox law right. When they caught all the whites, they put it away. Before someone gets all out of joint, I have black friends & they know how to play the system here. Also the the sub cheif is blk. and a friend of mine.
The bitch is not only blind, but stupid.
If you have a problem with the law, courts, please try to find someone who knows the court clerk. Someone knows him or her and can talk to them. (I'm not talking about killing some sob.) The judge may be the bad ass, but if clerk never puts papers on his desk. You'll never go to trial. IMHO

I finally found out how the 13 dui thing works. It's the result of the plea bargaining system.

When you're caught, you're caught, it's hard to make it go away, but they can plea it down to a first time dui. So as long as the DA is willing to play the game you can get as many dui's as you want, and they'll all be first offense dui's.

Nope just never have it come up in court. Then it's not on any record. For insurance or other things

I sent them an inquiry, also. How are you doing? Did you get your roof fixed or at least patched?

Oh OK, I thought you meant she told you it was happening there.
Boeing is collecting from employees for the Red Cross. I'll make a complaint to them.

Hey Bruce, she told me that it was for only members of church. I posted a what ever to Lou Dobbs at CNN and 1 to working for change. If anyone has any ideas of where to post, I'll give it a shot. Thanks BB

News story this morning mentioned that the Red Cross is overwhelmed and so they are relying on "faith-based organizations" to do some of the work.

Will be declared a disaster area by FEMA. Crews are already standing by to help the 7?? folks who live there. Just joking, maybe. Then the ranch will house people fleeing the storm?
BTW I tried to call the # for SBA, what a joke.
