It’s a pretty nice die cast model truck
I forgot to post a picture of it before I posted….
Since we're such good friends, get me one to go with my ABF tee-shirt and baseball cap.
I did not know there was a contest going on but I live so far back in the sticks I often don't get news till it is not new.
I don’t even remember how or when I did it….
Probably for active employees. I've been out of the loop for a while.

It is my understanding that all employees with 30+ years got one and there was also a drawing. I got mine a few months ago. I’ve been here for a little over 30. Congratulations to everyone!

I noticed that it comes with a twin screw tractor. Does it have the sliding fifth wheel so that you can mangle up the cross members of the landing gear on the trailer if the fifth wheel is not slid all the way back?I got one, a friend told me to hang on to it for awhile and sell it as a collectible to Judy for 25 grand.....solid plan....LMAO
The details on a scale model are important you know.
What few sliding 5th wheels we had PIE welded them in place.I noticed that it comes with a twin screw tractor. Does it have the sliding fifth wheel so that you can mangle up the cross members of the landing gear on the trailer if the fifth wheel is not slid all the way back?

We never removed mud flaps or worried about landing gears, they didn't want their drivers getting their pinkies dirty.
I actually thought the same thing when I got it...lmaoI noticed that it comes with a twin screw tractor. Does it have the sliding fifth wheel so that you can mangle up the cross members of the landing gear on the trailer if the fifth wheel is not slid all the way back?

Be nice if someone took it out of the box so we can see it.

381 would probably wreck it getting it out of the box!!!
He would then have to file an accident report and the company would have to bring DCMDoc out of retirement to go pick it up with the flat bed trailer for repairs!!!
So……it is probably best to leave it in the box.

That would hurt future collectability....Judy would probably pass if I did that.......
