Trucks

Welcome back to another 10 pack of random rigs!

We've got a decent variety lined up for today, so let's get started...

First up, a seldom seen SFA Freightliner FLD120.

A beefy Terex FDB6000 for Chandler Concrete, whose headquarters are in Burlington, NC.

A very sharp Peterbilt 389.

A nice Chevrolet Silverado for Privacy Fence Solutions from Kernersville, NC.

These have a specific numerical designation, like 4500, 5500, 6500, but they all look essentially the same, and I don't see a model designation logo on this one.

What is it with Chevys always having a headlight out? I notice this a lot, and on Chevys from several different eras.

A Mack Anthem for Reliable Tank Line, who're headquartered in Winston-Salem, NC.

I haven't really noticed before, but I think the Anthem is the only truck to have the spot mirrors mounted to the top of the hood.

A RAM 3500 for Fleet B Logistics from West Palm Beach, Florida.

The Dodge/RAM story is a convoluted trail. Maybe that could make for a good history article?🤔

A Mack MD for White Cap, whose HQ is in Norcross, Georgia.

These seem to be doing well, which is impressive, as Mack hasn't really been a presence on the medium market in a long time, if ever (they had the Midliner, but it didn't seem to be popular at all).

A nice Kenworth T370 for Redbox+, who're headquartered in Mt. Clemens, Michigan.

Regarding the Interlude below, looks like this is set up to deal with the porta-potty, too - note the hose and bottles.

Interlude - while doing my research on Redbox+, I came across this one their site~

"The Elite" dumpster...

Seems like a good idea at first, except - when a dumpster is loaded/unloaded, it goes up into a considerable angle to be pulled onto the truck, which could cause issues with whatever is in the tank of the porta-potty. Also, if you're inside, and stuff is being dumped/thrown into the dumpster, and possibly the dumpster is being bumped by whatever equipment is loading it ... that would make for an exciting time.

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled programming...

A very nice Western Star 49X for Hennings Construction, whose HQ is in East Bend, NC

It's possible, judging by map observation, that East Bend is a reference to the course of the nearby (to East Bend) Yadkin River.

And wrapping up today's round, one of our rigs, W-45. An International 9900 for Kirk's Sineath Towing from Greensboro, NC.

We'd just settled into this parking lot for lunch and just happened to catch 45 - it had just dropped a truck at one of the several nearby dealers.

This rig actually has a pretty interesting history, and I'm considering doing a short article on it...

Anyway, that's all for today - as always thanks for looking!
