That big air seeder with those big yellow tanks was fun. 11'11" wide and 14'2" tall.
That windrower was another fun one. I got to go around the Baltimore Beltway during rush hour and that thing was 11'11" wide.

My newest addition

2012 Pete 389 tri-drive, 36" bunk, MX 485, 18 speed. It is still under construction, I am currently installing an aluminum gravel box. It will be pulling the trailer pictured.

Sooooo no chit but I built your sleeper haha I always remember the paint jobs that aren't solid colored.

The only driving of these trucks done by me is in and out of the shop and maybe a road test, but the loads they haul are amazing:

^D11 dozer... Had 6 inches on each side of the dozer when pulling in the shop.... thing was HUGE!

This is our largest trailer that is used daily and the truck that pulls it:

Some of the rigs from my work, high hood T800 setup as a service/support truck for the mill. T800 "short double" (quad axle dump with a 24ft 6 axle pup trailer) & one of our Petes that is dedicated to lowboy. All "MI Specials" with double wall frames & balloon front tires. Have to get some pics of the rest of the fleet sometime.

Yea I live in the same town as their main yard/office and didn't know how big they were until I started working for them LOL. 500+ trucks and 2,000+ trailers now. We have flatbed/step deck, heavy haul, bulk (biggest division by far) where we haul cement, flour, sugar, and a few other odds and ends. Dump wagons, tanker, and reefer.

We definitely have our hands in a little bit of everything, makes being a mechanic pretty fun, get to do do alot of odd jobs and setting up all sorts of different trailers for big hauls and whatnot.... Now if only they would stick to 1 make of truck. We have every make but Freightliner, Western Star, and Sterling lol.

So you are a mechanic with them? If you don't mind me asking what do you get paid and how are they to work for? I am looking for a new job and I am a mechanic and they a have an office/shop about 6 miles from my house in alton, Il and I was thinking about applying with them I would just like some feedback from one of there employees
