Dodge big trucks

F$#@, these POS scab car haulers the manufacturers are using now?
Their drivers don't last a year.
And nobody cares. It will get there eventually one way or another.

In the 90's moving rental fleet around FL cities... Tropical Transport brought in the most broken down, obviously on their last legs trucks... none of the drivers could communicate in my native tongue. Threw one off my lot for using my car to jump his busted trailer... Chrysler computer controlled alternators can cost a lot to repair after you short them out. Had to get someone bilingual to explain "get the F out" and finger extended to the gate meant I didn't give a **** about his paycheck. At least the new car carriers were usually not idiots... but watch out when the used cars deliver. Some of the outfits used by the high lines are really good drivers and equipment, at least 10 years ago... but just when you think all is good... some POS rolls up because they were overbooked.

Us non union guys all get it in the pooper at some point, but IDK if any of the unions are worthwhile these days either. Met a lot of guys over the years who's jobs were moved without option for the expensive help. All a guy like me can do is keep the resume in good condition for the next time you use it. Seniority in my world relates to vacation time... not much else.

FWIW the biggest damage I encountered was rail dust causing rust spots on the paint of just about anything shipped by rail... it would come in batches... IDK why, bad wheel maybe?
 
I'd rather drive a septic truck than drive an auto transport in the north.
I deal with them weekly, when it rains they can have a tough time driving up, in the snow you'd have to be nuts.

Not a Dodge, but I thought you guys would like this. This is the hauler V (Veri) Gains used to haul his Dodge Dart Pro Stock car in. He rolled into Pomona yesterday & began to set up for this weekends race. V made his fortune from vineyards he owns in Italy & the U.S. He also has a fleet of automobile car carriers. A race car chassis shop (Lazerus Race Cars) & a racing engine business (Madcap Racing)
 
Believe it or not late last season Britney Force (Johns daughter) crashed into a bridge & ripped the top off. I'll see if I can find a pic
 
Yah, but she's so freaking hot, I can look past that minor mishap...

Actually, looking close, it looks like she went through a guardrail and off onto a sandy shoulder first.
 
Yea story is someone pulled out in front of him & he scarfices the truck to avoid clobbering a small car

Not a Dodge truck, but a Plymouth car. How many of you remember this movie? Featuring Dennis Weaver & Steven Spillberg worked on it too
