No. One of my uncle's is a truck driver. He prefers restoring older Mack trucks from what I remember.

Nah, I think its pretty cool to see a different side of these trucks that you normally don't get to see. And yeah, i noticed that condo sagging a little also. I guess it just might be the added weight or could just be how they're built. Nice pics!

those are f**king sick. that john deere truck is nasty, with 3 brand new JD 2755s on the trailer. Somebody has some money considering those tractors are over 100000 each.
I really like the first one, that things hammered. I don't care for the color too much but I sure like that orange color. Those are some good photos you took, do you have any more photos?

Gotta say one thing for big trucks - they have plenty of room!

i think being a long haul trucker for a few years would be sick.
derek, is that a condo? Meaning you know, is it one of the trucks that instead of just having a bed, you can stand up in the back?
What kind of truck? Peterbilt, kenworth, freightliner, etc?
That so nice... I wanted to be one for awhile, but I also want to make some $$$ so I can drive a H2 lifted 30feet to piss everyone off. So Im going with the $$$ and the H2, oh well.

yeah Chris, thats a freightliner condo. Its got a LOT of room. there are bunk beds back there and with the top one down you can sit on it and reach and still not touch the ceiling
I really enjoyed my time trucking- got to see a lot of cool things and meet a lot of people from all over the US(ive been to all of the 48 states except north dakota). Unfortunately i wasnt really into photography at the time so I dont really have a good record of those years

these are the only pics i could find, the others are probably somewhere stored at my parents. dont have a scanner so i took a picture of the prints.
this was from when i pretty much ran to LA, vegas and san diego from olympia, then tried to find whatever inbetween to get me back.
this was a cool load- 2 crane counterweights brought me up to max load. this one in front of the trailer and one in back.
