Why cut them down?
Thats the low overpass warning!
Well if he decides to or finds a driver, we run to Denver--Colorado is 13' on stack height,
which all depends on if they want to write it up which they don't normally. These are 13'6",
all of ours are 13', we had one #450 that was 13'8" that got ticketed, ran it there for two
years until it was flagged. But I was more or less just kidding about pruning, I like the term
pruning, I used it around the drivers many times, it would cause a nice cringe.

No doubt. I know some that pick up and drop off like a city bus.

I read a story on Reddit about a guy that drove a bus to work so he gave rides to his co workers, then got his fuel for free or something. So manglement didn't like him getting fuel for free and ended it. He drove to work the next day with his motorcycle and promptly got his free fuel back the day after.

All this exhaust system pruning talk was bad ju-ju. Doing my yard walk-through today and this guy crunched the custom 49x heat shield. Shame on the mess. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Did the hooker catch her handbag on it? She must have been pretty good size to bend that stainless that good.

There are strange things done in the midnight sun buy the men who moil for gold. The arctic trails have their secret tales that would make your blood run cold. The northern lights have seen queer sights but queerest they ever did see. Was the night on the Marge of lake labarge I cremated Sam McGee

Still shopping. I've bid on a couple auction trucks, and been too cheap.

Just had this pop up, its in dallas, so no rust, about the right wheelbase, and already has a flatbed on. Mount some extra axles and I could be good to go.

I'm not so keen on the color, but at under $20,000, I can live with a little ugly.

Under $20K? That's a deal.

If you don't buy it I might.
