I've got truck envy

Buddy of mine and I stopped by Adkins Truck Equipment the other day and saw the biggest service truck I've ever seen. Now folks around here tell me my service truck is big (the 'little' one in the pics below....LOL), but the one we saw makes mine look like a baby because it's HUGE.

I didn't get the name of the owner, but we were told that he had nearly $250,000 invested so far. My buddy took the pic and cut off the nose of the truck because he couldn't get any further back to completely frame it, but you can get an idea of the size from the pic. The truck is a Western Star, and as you can see it also has a sleeper. Guy we were talking to at Adkins said all together it's only 3 inches short of being the max legal length for a straight truck in the state it's destined to reside in.

The crane on the corner looks like a baby, but it's actually a 10,000 lb capacity model, and there is also a 30,000 lb winch in the rear bumper. The street side side was too close to the fence to even get a pick, but it's basically a mirror image of the curb side. I know every door I opened was full of either shelves or roll out drawers, and part of the very front box was set up as a cross body box. There are even more compartments at the top front that are accessed by getting up in the bed.

Like I said in the subject line, for the first time in my life I have a slight twinge of service truck envy.....Not that I'd really want anything that big around here, mind you, because it's simply not practical, and the expenses on something that size would be astronomical, but hey, it's just MASSIVELY HUGE so why not ?????....LOL

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
