The upcoming generation
I haul these type of kids to school any day I fill in on the school bus. I hate to think of the type of world we would live in after they start running things. The only stable, well adjusted kids I see are the ones I haul up to the technical trade school. And, there are not nearly enough of them. -

Memories for us old truckers
Vocational seemed to be there thing. They did build a lot of ready mix concrete mixer chassis, and I have seen photos of a couple FWD truck tractors, pulling lowboy equipment trailers. Might have to do a Google search and see what all I can find. Got me interested now. -
This will be an interesting thread moving forward......

Concrete truck wiring
I think someone bought out their mixer division. I would call them and see who owns the mixer operations now. Then get ahold of that company. -

Mulching - "The Daily Grind"
