Big Trucks that go ChiSshhhhh

That is massive - it looks like he could live in it.

Freightliner Classic 1990-2010 Heavy-haul Rig

Belonging to United Rail Service of Somerset, Kentucky.

This rig has thirty wheels on the ground.

This truck is equipped with 11R-24.5 tires; whereas, most are equipped with 11R-22.5.

This particular example is a Daycab. (no sleeper)

In 1987, Freightliner replaced the classic FLC-120 with the aerodynamic FLD series.

The FLD did not go over well with independent operators; so, in 1990, they replaced the aerodynamic FLD hood and front end with the FLC-120 hood, thus producing the "Classic" with 120-inch BBC and the "Classic XL" with 132-inch BBC.

The FLC-120 is still preferred over the FLD "Classic"

A quick identifier to determine whether a truck is an FLC or an FLD is the FLC has a much wider division between the two sides of the split windshield.

The forward of the three rear axles is a lift-axle, hence the hump in the fenders.









The trailer is a Pitts Detachable Gooseneck Lowboy

United Rail Service trailer number URS TD T8

The fourth axle will flip up and over to transport position.

The trailer loads from the forward end.

The front of the trailer is lowered and the neck is removed from the trailer.

This photo exhibits how the neck can be detached for loading/unloading.



These two photos exhibit how the fourth/rear axle can be flipped up onto the top to both shorten the trailer and save wear and tear on those four tires.





Thanks for looking; I hope you enjoy.

Smith Sales Kenworth T600B Truck #23

I buy all of my hay from this guy.
There are only twenty-two 32x32x96 bales of Alfalfa on here, instead of the possible twenty-seven; averaging 900-lbs apiece, the twenty-two will weigh 19,800 lbs; a full twenty-seven bales will weigh 24,300 lbs.

The details that tell me this is a T600B and not a plain T600 or T600A are the missing wing-glass and the curved windshield.
I much prefer the earlier versions that have wing-glasses and two-piece flat windshields; night-time and bad weather visibility is far better with flat glass, plus the wipers work ever-so-much better.
At least this version still has good old self-contained genuine glass sealed-beam headlights and not that old milky plastic mess found on later models; with those later model plastic headlights, you will be driving down the road in the dark and be wondering whether they are even on.

Ford L9000 AeroMax 1988-1991
A "Louisville Line" truck built in Louisville, Kentucky.
In a fool's move, for the first time in a North American truck, automotive-style composite headlights were used; this foolishness came to an end with the 1996 model, when they reverted back to the much superior all-glass sealed beams.
Upon its introduction in 1988, the Aeromax L9000 was the most aerodynamic truck in North America (and probably one of the ugliest).
The original non-aerodynamic Louisville Line trucks are some of the best looking trucks ever made.
I have been searching my brain, trying to remember which nation-wide trucking company used that paint scheme on all of their trucks; I am wanting to think maybe Fed-Ex.

This truck is pulling a bolstered log trailer.
