Buddy of mine and I stopped by Adkins Truck Equipment the other day and saw the biggest service truck I've ever seen. Now folks around here tell me my service truck is big (the 'little' one in the pics below....LOL), but the one we saw makes mine look like a baby because it's HUGE.
I didn't get the name of the owner, but we were told that he had nearly $250,000 invested so far. My buddy took the pic and cut off the nose of the truck because he couldn't get any further back to completely frame it, but you can get an idea of the size from the pic. The truck is a Western Star, and as you can see it also has a sleeper. Guy we were talking to at Adkins said all together it's only 3 inches short of being the max legal length for a straight truck in the state it's destined to reside in.
The crane on the corner looks like a baby, but it's actually a 10,000 lb capacity model, and there is also a 30,000 lb winch in the rear bumper. The street side side was too close to the fence to even get a pick, but it's basically a mirror image of the curb side. I know every door I opened was full of either shelves or roll out drawers, and part of the very front box was set up as a cross body box. There are even more compartments at the top front that are accessed by getting up in the bed.
Like I said in the subject line, for the first time in my life I have a slight twinge of service truck envy.....Not that I'd really want anything that big around here, mind you, because it's simply not practical, and the expenses on something that size would be astronomical, but hey, it's just MASSIVELY HUGE so why not ?????....LOL

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
