Truck Shop
Senior Member
Wreck photo's from todays trip on Overload for the Day thread.
I wonder if a mechanic would have been there to give his 2 cents on the build? This really hits home with me the place were i have worked and am working part time is a deal . It has grown and expanded and grown some more. They have a building that they call the truck shop its more of a warehouse . It has been built on to several times . One side will hold a truck trailer but its need to store stuff . I think i could have done a better job but i always think that after its done and i can see the problem .The shop the boss built for Penske, didn't make the bays long enough. Can't get a truck and
A train/ or 53' together in a bay and work on both at same time.

Really it's about trying to hoist 270 lbs of biscuits, gravy and plumbers crack up that high."falling out the door and busting your caboose"
Some farout stuff like these trucks look like they would have been a lot more problem to build back then maybe they weren't ?One thing to really show how distorted the interior was look at the height of door to bottom
of door glass. You climbed up the outside corner of cab to enter, IIRC the floor had a drop or
recess of like three inches, so you had to step over that entering exiting. It was a weird truck
to say the least.
