pics of work truck

Have to disagree.. Been there done that at 2am this morning. Broke down at 2am and 4.5 hours later a vehicle finally came by and gave me a ride to the State camp. They fired up a plow truck just about like that one and came out and drug me off the road. Since it was about -42º I would have to say that I would have loved to see that thing come by much sooner than it did.


f100cleveland does that truck have flat or curved windshields? Plow driver this morning was telling me that there trucks with flat windshields stay clear and the curved ones are always covered with ice. They had just fabbed up a big Plexiglas shield mounted on the hood of one to see it they could keep it clear. I believe it was a International and he said the wipers and windshield design are giving them real trouble.

I see your point Crumm. I was lookin at it more from the stand point of the car, after it got smacked by the plow.

I just noticed that it has 2 plows, thats just wicked awesome cool.

The one on the side is called a wing and when you smack that into some hard packed snow it will push the truck sideways causing a pucker factor to happen. I have a v-plow for it too.

Is this your personally owned truck, or just the one you drive for a company you work for?

Cool, very cool.

So how does the Sterling drive, feel, operate?

I have never really been in one before, I grew up in K-dub's and Pete's.

This is my 5th truck. The first 3 were Ford LT8000 then a sterling 8000. Can't even compare them to this one. You sit higher, cabs quieter, more power, smart shifter, more power, the smell of new paint. Did I mention MORE POWER

What kind of engine does it have?

 

[f100cleveland]

Mercedes Benz 430hp with a 10 speed smart shift. Its got a clutch pedal but the shifter is on the column with a paddle thing like off-road ralley cars have. It shifts on it own or manually.
