Gonna restore it one day, meanwhile it slowly returns to the earth. Heard that one before.

Follow up to my chase of the KW COE. Not an Aerodyne as I thought. Original owner sold it to a cousin and he or some other cousin put gas in it and scatter the bottom end. The owners son bought it and is planning a rebuild of his dad's truck. He got a running engine from a customer that bought some crate engine. Going to put it in whenever he finds time to come get it.

Nice old K100. Would look really good sitting on a streched 250" wheelbase
Who puts gas in a big truck.

I saw a bunch of older trucks, same as the last two posts, when I was driving north through California last February, it wondered if it was something like this. It was cool to see a bunch of old trucks cruising down the freeway!

One of the local trucks in the Ohio River valley. His winter truck is a 379 Pete. This is the summer truck.

I loved how they plunked an old Dodge pickup on it.
Tell the truth. You were scrunched up in that thing.

This is oh so wrong!
Starsky Robotics tests first unmanned autonomous truck on public highway in Florida (with video) - FreightWaves

Notice one important thing.
The truck's max speed is 55 mph.
Even on a FL Interstate.
And it does so in the left lane.

How much road rage is this gonna cause. A lot.

None, when you're in your autonomous car and everyone goes 55. And we all eat at Taco Bell because they win the fast food war.

There use is limited. If they can't get the post office, UPS, Fed Ex on board to absorb the cost to bring the per truck price down, also needs to be attached to a terminal to terminal be with fleet maintenance available. The cost of road calls and time wasted because the truck parked itself on the shoulder at MM 173 (with no emergency triangles deployed, unless the autonomous robot jumps out and sets them up), waiting for Jim Bob mechanic to show up and replace the green corroded wires to the R3 sensor on the second trailer.
You think your package took too long to get to you today, wait till Xmas comes and goes and your still waiting.
Put the trailer on the train. Less trucks on the road, drivers drayage < 100 mi
Trucking is always easy from the outside looking in.
