Just a truck kind of gal

Just a truck kind of gal 07/06/2004 06:26 PM
I don't come from a family of car people, you know, those kind of people that actually car about cars, buy new cars, keep their cars clean, and/or actually name their cars. No, my parents represented that rarest of California demographic during their eight years in the Bay Area: the one car family. Nearly my whole life our four-person family had one solid, dependable car. Nothing too flashy, and rarely anything new. At this very moment, my parents swear their current car (purchased used) is satisfactory, even though they just had the door welded back on because it was rusted through and nearly fell off. So imagine my surprise this summer when I discovered that there was a vehicle for me! After years of avoiding driving as much as possible, and in general demonstrating great distain for all things car, I've unlocked one of my life's mysteries. You know how they say you really figure out who you are in your thirties? Well I've discovered I am a truck person! I've been lucky to have a 1996 Ford pick-up at my disposal this summer, and boy have I enjoyed tooling around in it! Aside from its obvious greatness due to its green color, it's also just fun. It bumps along the dirt roads in a very satisfying manner. Its bed is perfect for holding my clamming gear, or mulch, or just beach chairs. And everywhere I go, I share knowing nods with other island pick-up truck drivers. Yup, I may not be a car person. But I sure am a truck person.

Monster truck

Monster truck 06/23/2004 11:13 AM
The world's largest truck is the Liebherr T 282B, used for hauling in the mining industry. At more than 24 feet tall and 47 feet long, the 224-ton monstrosity can still putt along at 40 miles per hour. New Scientist has published an interview with Francis Bartley, head of R&D for Liebherr:

"The first time I was in it at a mine, the driver started to drive away and actually ran into the back of a service truck. It seems we mashed it down to the ground. I saw someone yelling, but we didn't feel a thing."

World's Largest Truck

World's Largest Truck 06/21/2004 10:31 AM

What's huge, slow, and capable of hauling up to 400 tons of bullshit? While my first response would probably be Slashdot, too, in this case we're describing the Liebherr T 282B truck, a 224 ton monster with a massive 3650-horsepower diesel engine. New Scientist has an interview with Liebherr R&D head Francis Bartleby in which he drops a load of tasty T 282B trivia, like the fact that the huge diesel engine actually generates electricity to power two electric drive motors, and the story about the time a driver of one of the big trucks accidentally crushed a normal-sized service truck and didn't even notice.

(Picture47, originally uploaded by davidfg)

We made a rule in the house this year that packages mailed to us and still unopened count as wrapping, whether or not the things inside are wrapped as well (we have no way of knowing). You can't see what's inside the boxes so it does the same thing as wrapping. It also cuts out a stupid step where you have to open a present for someone, wrap it, then have them open it on xmas day.

But not this year, brown boxes count just as much as holiday paper wrapping.

Next Generation Truck Stops

Truck Stop Wi-Fi Growing

Truck Stop Wi-Fi Growing 12/29/2003 02:57 PM
Truckers are really enjoying using Wi-Fi at truck stops: They use it to keep in touch with family but also to get directions or information about road construction or to send photos to bosses about goods that may be damaged at pick up. This story mentions Flying J, Truckstop.net, and TravelCenters of America as truck stops that are rolling out Wi-Fi or plan to....

Truck-stops with WiFi thriving

Truck-stops with WiFi thriving 05/07/2004 03:35 AM
Truckers -- who made CB radio into a success in the 70s -- ar enow chasing another kind of wireless. Truck-stops that install WiFi can attract more business from bandwidht-hungry long-haul drivers.

David Maloney, a trucker from Aledo, Texas, is one who'll go the distance to reach a truck stop equipped with wireless Internet access.

"The only time I really get to use any kind of broadband is out here on the road," said Maloney, who recently stopped at a Flying J with Wi-Fi on his way from Virginia to Appleton, Wis. "That's the whole reason I came this far last night."

Navistar to Sell Giant CXT Truck

Navistar to Sell Giant CXT Truck 09/13/2004 04:38 PM

As my buddy Ryan put it, the new CXT truck is "not just Muppets silly, it's like 'I can't believe he killed the whole human race,'" kind of silly. The new 21.5-foot truck weighs seven tons and gets about 6 to 10 miles to the gallon. It's essentially a semi-truck scaled back to be a consumer vehicle - but it's still going to cost over $90k.

I'm agog, or agag, or adama, or whatever it is you do when you want to cry for weeks at a time. In fact, just take a couple of these DiscHub codes right now for free.
