I drive a 2001 30 ft Blue Bird Special needs school bus. Sorry no pictures. Has a Deere 6 cyl CNG engine. Other than that I get to drive whatever I need as a trainer for CDL driver wanna be's.
UPS Freight.....usually a International with 1,000,000 miles on it...the Volvos are worse...but better....all the new trucks are junk thanks to the EPA....
At present job, a 2013 Freightliner Coronado SD. 560 Detroit, 18 speed, 18k front axle, 44k rears, 3.91 gears. It's what we call a "Michigan Special". We haul wood chips, sawdust, and anything else that can be unloaded with a walking floor trailer. We have mostly Titans with 7-8 axles. I'll put some photos up as soon as I have time to take some.
I drive myself at work since I'm self employed...not the best rig for this kind of work but there are many parts that can stand the pace...I use my Ranger to get where I have to go but I've managed to pi$$ off most drivers behind me...either with the smoke or the slow...
On occasion a Nissan 50 Forklift or a Crown stand up electric lift. Not very often though. Just when someone else feels scared of getting something down from a rack.
a 2011 Transit Connect. A Ford Mondeo with a mini van body, made in Turkey. I drive it home, so I only pay with time to commute. Most of the guys hate it. It is gutless , though. It downshifts 2 gears when I stomp on it. It gets a little flighty above 70 and the nasty grams start around 80. I try to go local and keep off the interstates as much as possible. Taking off with the wheels cocked , it will torque steer, I prefer it to the big old E 150s for parking and stuff. It is the first wrong wheel drive since my '57 DS 19 Not very impressed.
