Seems that the trailers never get much love, what good is a day cab if you’re not putting 26,000 pounds behind it?

As a note, these single axle day cabs would never pull a belly dump, as they carry in excess of 25 tons.. The baddest truck I’ve seen first hand was a 2017 Sterling Super 18 dump truck with 4 helper axles. I don’t know the cubic feet of the bed, but it had I think 25 leaf front springs for about an 18” stack height. It was almost a 4x4 and it carries a-l-o-t! But I digress cause I’ve worked on Cat 793’s so nothing compares to that, except the 797’s… Don’t get me started on the P&H shovels.. LMAO…

Variation of the dozer drivers, and yes, the one on the left is partially decap’d, he didn’t see that cable stretched out across his path, yet he still operates because supers in road construction never allow you to quit.

Houston, we got a problem...
You ever consider being on that Hoarders TV show?
I have one PIE box trailer, a car hauler, a Borden tanker, and a few gravel and crate trailers, I feel totally emasculated. Want to adopt me?? I'm already housebroken and don't eat much? :)
Now about those P&H shovels..... :LOL:

I’m working on it. I sold at least 6 sets. I sold around 8 or 9 sealed trailers. Even with all these loose trailers I also have one of each sealed on card. I’ve been downsizing, and haven’t bought anything in a few months. I was in a striped track hunt, and now I have like 12 curves, 15 turn outs, and a few 6, 9, and 15’s. I wanted to get a couple lined terminals but haven’t seen any nice ones yet. Or they are just priced dumb AF.. I’ve been wanting a couple road/rail tracks for my GO Joe US-1 and train sets, but those always sell for ridiculous prices. I’m not gonna spend $180 on a couple track parts that I could use to buy an entire set..

I guess when I said I’ve spent $30,000 on this stuff people think I’m bullshitting.. lol.. I’m not. I had somewhere around 25 sets at one point, around 100 slot cars and 85-90 trailers, I think 185 accessories, 500+ track parts; of course this stuff was mostly in the sets.
