Phil sent this, the boy has some skillz!

I would be hard pressed to back up a set of doubles like he does and I used to back a 48′ O2 tanker a half mile through the VA hospital in Tacoma, WA and where the tanks, a hard left and an immediate hard right turns at 3am in the morning.. One, he doesn’t use a trailer dolly for the second trailer, an extended trailer 5th wheel, so he doesn’t have two extra pivot points. It is a European truck and trailers and that suicide knob would get him a ticket here in the states. I don’t know if that length and set up of trailers and the bridging would be legal either.

Edited to add,

The Tactical Hermit sent it to me and I forwarded it to CederQ because I know he used to drive trucks.

Prestige! Luxury! Utter Crap!

THIS, is why I am not THE LEAST bit impressed by peoples misplaced exaltation of fucking Limousines.

Because I have worked on the miserable Hack Jobs and I know what’s under the skin of these overblown skateboards.

Plywood, screws and brackets with electrical wires and heater hoses just laying on the floor behind them.

Home made wooden boxes with heater cores and air conditioning units glued to the damn floor.

All covered up with upholstery glued over foam onto the plywood.

Multiple drivelines spliced together with carrier bearings and hoops to keep them from falling down into the ground.

Frames hacked and spliced together, I have literally seen these things up in the air on two post hosts and sagging so hard in the middle the doors won’t open and those fancy windows in the middle were popping out of the frames.

Oh but they look so nice don’t they?

They just ooze money and power going down the road.

You should try parking one of the miserable bastards inside a shop sometime, let alone work on one.

I had to empty out four work stalls just to get one turned ninety degrees and get it into the work stall I was going to tear into it in.

Then the real fun started.

The best part?

It was the exact same make and model as the one in the picture.
