Nice Work Truck
My neighbor is getting a new roof and the roofing company has parked this in his driveway to haul the scrap materials. Nice to see such a fine work truck. I can only imagine how many loads to the dump it has made. If my roof wasn't 2 years old, I would get a new one just to have it parked in my driveway for a couple of days!

Re: Nice Work Truck
Good looking truck and it's amazing how many of the big trucks still work every day or every harvest season just as they have for the past sixty something years. A couple of the big hop growers around this area ran AD trucks for hop harvest for over 50 years until they finally wore them all out and changed to different trucks. They would be lined up beside the hop kilns in the off season.

Re: Nice Work Truck
That is very cool. I can imagine these guys have a lot of people take photos of their truck when they park them in the driveway like that.

Re: Nice Work Truck
I really like the fact that given that these old truck tend to mark their territory, the roofing crew laid down a tarp.
