17357 The majority of the freight I haul is for our government,and have hauled lots of Bradleys and M 109's over the years like the one pictured here.Rarely do they let us operate these unnatended,but we hauled 67 of these into the port for export over the past 2 weeks,the steveadores don't want to drive them so we had permission to unload and stage all of 'em.Another driver took my picture this afternoon as I backed number 67 in line.We did take the long way around the marine terminal with these sometimes and they are a blast to drive.Actually easier than a car,they have a 4 speed automatic in them with a steering wheel,and they will really travel if you can stand the noise!Just had to be careful I didn't hit the switch and shoot a ship out of the water,lol.Also we haul these with the barrell to the rear and get few tailgaters,I wonder why.:thumbsup:

Yeah,J.J., I was having lots of fun.I have unloaded these before off my trailer,then the military takes over the driving.This time I unloaded with guidance from our other drivers so I don't back over a car or something as you can't see a thing behind you.Then your on your own to crank it through the gears and see what it will do,lol.Over the years I have driven just about anything there is with tracks or tires,but this rates right up there on the one of a kind ride scale.:yes:
