Steel Soldiers MV of the month - April VOTE HERE!

[papabear]

OK...here's my shameless plug for my M818...I know the pics suck but at least she performed in a magnificient manner. Here's the story.

Columbus 911 called us today to move an abandoned trailer from the turn lane in front of DMV of all places!! Seems all eight of the trailer tires burned beyond use and the rig was stuck. Evidently, another wrecker service was supposed to handle the mess but didn't...and yes...there's a lot more to the story then I'll go into...BUT...the driver dropped the trailer and went on his merry way and left the loaded 2014 Wabash trailer loaded with 41K sitting.....for almost 24 hours!! Well CPD got some irate calls from DMVS saying they wanted the trailer moved ASAP and we were called in.

As fate would have it, both of my road tractors were gone...one in NC and the other in lower Alabama and both heavy wreckers had calls backed up for all day. What to do?

I called Columbus tire to take 8 tires out and put them on and called my insurance company and had the M818 added to the fleet insurance and long story short, I took a crew out with BabyBear to supervise and we got the rig back to the impound lot.

Just goes to show...you NEVER know when a FMV will come back into service and save the day!!

Shameless plug, yes, but still a good story. I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that tow/storage bill.

How does one nominate a vehicle for future MV of the month polls?

For any of the guys that were up at the MTA show this weekend don't forget my mule that was on part delivery detail this weekend. Saved alot of guys alot of walking.

Just wait until patracy starts the new "MV of the Month...May" thread and nominate whatever vehicle you want...with a good pic.

Shaking babies and kissing hands like any election.

Should have said "vote for me and I won't show you my body." I tried that but they couldn't stop laughing long enough to vote.

DOH!!!

I thought we were supposed to kick the babys and bite the hands!!!

I have GOT to get my hearing checked!!

But seriously. you have a REALLY nice vehicle!

 

[Whiterabbit]

Thanks! That means alot because I've seen your sharp truck.
It was a remove, repair, reinstall and cut, beat and weld rebuild. VERY tight budget! I was just lucky to have been trained by Uncle Sam to do all the work on it.
But the race isn't over yet!

 

[papabear]

So...looks like the polls are closing and all precincts are reporting in.

I just called CNN and FOX News Networks and they both are calling the win for Whiterabbit's outstanding jeepie!!

I have this to say about that: CONGRATS BRO and:

 

[patracy]
