Super Truck

Slo-Ride

While sitting @ the coffee counter a few weeks back in Tn,This guy walks up to me and asks if I was so and so. Well it turns out we where stationed in the army together and I didn't even remember him until he started to tell me some of the things we did back then. Turns out he started running 53fts for a living, Retired from working for someone and with his wife started a new business. Really nice truck, he gave me a full tour and I spend some time with him.. (Was almost worth being stranded with no freight that weekend.)
Not trying to advertise for him here,,(well maybe a little) just been wanting to post this truck for awhile and am just getting around to it. He even stated he know of EO and maybe had contacted them in the past.Would be nice to see this roll into the next expo.
(He is a great guy,,throw him some work Lawrence) :D
If ya like big trucks check this one out and his web site,it gives the whole story of building the truck and what he does.

Wow awsome truck

So is inside the trailer, It has fully equipted living quarters in the entire nose of trailer. Not as decked out as the sleeper on the tractor but nice. Back half of trailer is used for his daily opertion and tool storage.
I guess this is so big he has issues getting it towed.So most repairs on done on the spot if needed.

Properly doesn't make the standards of what some call super tucks but she sure is Prudy.
Ran with him thru Indiana a few days ago..He stated he had 3 of them build.This one he said is Powered by the largest street legal motor by Cat. Motor came from a dozer and completely rebuild by Mich Cat. Don't remember what motor he said it was but it took allot of time to get it approved for use. I think he also said that it could very well be one of the last Gliders coming off the Assembly line.

I've seen the Red Rio at shows the past year or so. She's a big beauty. I've always wanted go see the inside of it.

It's always nice to see trucks whose owners have pride in their ride.
