Last one for today and Martin Phippard comes calling with a cheery "Good evening Sir!" before adding, "Thanks for posting the perfectly-posed pictures of the prettily-prepared Peterbilts. They are, after all The Class of The Industry, or so Peterbilt publicity people would have us believe. Pretty certainly, but they have never turned my crank." Aha... And hark... Does Biglorryblog hear an axe being ground...?

Indeed MP goes on to say: "And as you know already when it comes right down to hard graft and tough conditions, somehow it's always the other Paccar product, namely the Kenworth, that can be found 'toting dat barge or lifting dat bale' or indeed whatever else may be required of it. And for evidence look no farther than www.speedyhh.com from whence cometh these evocative images."

And as if to prove it the 'Keeper of the Flame' has sent me a whole shed-load of Speedy pictures... So cllick through here for more..and I'll post the rest up tomorrow!

Martin contiues: "Based in the Western State of Colorado Speedy Heavy Hauling specialises in oil rig moves throughout the Western USA and Canada. It's a land where the men are tough, the conditions tougher and the trucks, well the KWs anyway, right on top of the job as usual. Unsurfaced roads, snow and ice and oversize loads are literally all in a day's work for the big old Brutes..."

"Oh and by the way Brian," says Martin, " the Peterbilt steel hauler can be referred to as a Michigan Train, a Great Lakes Special or a Break Double. But NEVER as a road train. Geesh, how many more times Bye Now, Martin P!" Well get over it as I still don't know the difference between a Scammell Highwayman and a Trunker either..and Bob Tuck is just as hacked off with me as you are - so better get in the queue!

Great photos Martin, we dont get many Peterbilts down here but I remember years ago they used aluminium chassis. Is that still the case ?
