While talking to my trainer the other day about getting me into one of the new T-800 rentals at the hub so I didn't have to drive the yard dog over the passes every night I realized everyone has of course their favorite truck. When I causally pointed to one of the newer trucks and said jokingly, "Well it's not a W-9, but it'll do." He curiously looked at me and asked, "What's a W-9?" I corrected myself, "You know, a W-900.." I heard crickets.
How do you not know what a W-9 is or a long nosed Pete is? How are you in this industry for 5 minutes and not know what the grand daddies of trucks are? It struck me funny. That got me to thinking.. what is your favorite truck and why? Is it an aero with a great ride and fuel economy? A chopped Pete with all the chicken lights you can muster? Old school cabover for the nostalgia?
Post a pic of your favorites and why, old school or contemporary it doesn't matter :)
I'll go first... and you don't have to have just one favorite!
I picked this one because of the massive grill guard on it.. I think it looks mean, LOL
I don't think I have seen the snorkel looking things on the breathers ever before.. I think this is from a different continent. HA
Anyway, I would take a W-9 just because I like the way they look and I have had both KW's and Petes. I am not a chopped truck kinda gal. I want them bigger, beefier and lit up like a Christmas tree, ostentatious kind of girl. Maybe it's the inner super trucker in me, that I should be ashamed of.. but I am not easily shamed. LOL
