[spanky]

Derek and I passed this big boy on the way back from Poplarville this morning.

Must be a government job...

My uncle drives a truck, and he says it's bad juju to drive without anything on the trailer. He's got a Tonka Truck in his strap box just for these occasions

Must be a government job...

Or........getting paid by the hour.

That is some funny sh...t. Evidentely diesel really is getting expensive.

 

[Cat]

I would have sworn sideways the driver had a little boy who insisted on strapping in his toy truck.

 

[Jimmy Dean]

I have seen that a few times, maybe 5-6, and I have spent MANY MANY miles on the interstates, always get a good laugh out of a tonka truck sitting on this massive flatbed

 

[Miltonite]

That is the most awesome thing I have seen so far today.

 

[kcinnick]

I have seen more than one driver do that when they were leaving with an empty trailer.

 

[slinkyonrampage]

I honestly have no idea what that is about, but if I had to guess, it'd be that it is some sort of superstition maybe?

Spanky, can I borrow that picture? I would like to send it to some of my family.

What I get a kick out of is when you see them with a petal tractor straped to a flatbed or a drop deck. I never thought to ask a driver why they do it, I always thought they were trying to be

 

[thomjb]

Seen similar a couple of times, always makes me smile

[oleheat]

Is the History Channel filming dow here? Yet another reality show featuring "little people", perhaps?

 

[whbonney26]

I have seen this truck.....or another just like it around before. Its prob. due to them not wanting to go empty (bad luck) so they just run with that on as kind of a joke but also to stay away from the bad luck.

 

[machinedrummer]

Great googly moogly that truck must be huge to make that dozer look so small.

 

[jimdana1942]

Is that a D-8 replica?
