Just Because

[1984Sideways]

You'll notice that cracker box sitting way down under that load. I'll never miss that ride.

Are those the old big block gas engines?

This one's for mud:

You never had to worry about falling out of a Roadway pumpkin. When you opened the door you were at ground level.

This is one of those it was like that when I hooked up to it moments. Some things stay the same over the years. Cover your butt.

Well crap just happens even back in the day but that is no low bridge can opening.

A lot of new guys couldn't drive this.
Std equipment had a steering wheel, stick in the floor, a lousy driver's seat, and a pusher.
No ac, no air ride, no radio, I think these had 250 hp.

Roadway Spy.

You have to admit his forklift skills are impressive if you own a scrapyard.

My reading glasses have been misplaced, but are there 2 handtrucks on the cab on the left?
I remember Roadway having the tractors with the one handtruck on the front. It got a lot
of laughs back in the day. But I will say this, Roadway set the standard back in those days.

Is there a reason there happens to be a mirror in the picture? Someone trying to send a subtle message?

I think they had the Ford 391 3-4 MPG gasoline engines early, later they came with the head gasket blowing 8.2 Detroits

When Nielsen Freight got some new CL 9000 s I thought crap here we go again setting straight above the steering axle but to my surprise that air ride cab was a dream. Hit a big pothole in a crackerbox break your spine.

I broke two fingers back in the early eighties on one of those CL9000 COE's with an air cab.
Had a 13 speed, when I shifted into 9th on a curve the cab rolled and smashed my hand between the instrument panel and the gear knob. Never wrapped my fingers around it again.
