A battalion is between 3-7 companies. 3-4 in an Infantry battalion. That’s between 300-1200 troops. 12-15,000 NYPD are meter maids. Close to 20-30% are nearing retirement, and in rocking chair jobs. They can’t control what they are assigned now. Let them “walk two states over”, the attrition alone will make them cannon fodder for those hillbillies.
I had a 69 SS-396/375 hp Chevelle. Muncie M-21 trans. It ate clutches like I do home grown tomatoes now. Bad feeling when it starts slipping. First 2 times , Chevy paid for , last ones I learned how.
I had a 1969 Ford E150. Blueprinted the 302 engine, low end torque cam, higher gearing, replaced the three on the tree with a four speed. 27 mpg going uphill at 40 mph. So much torque that at 5 mph I could floor it, and spin the clutch. Like the 69 Chevelle above, after a couple of clutches I learned to drive with more caution.
What you're saying is, they're about to move there anyway.
My old intact male chocolate lab got me in trouble for doing that one time , it didn't help when I asked him what it smelled like !!!!!.
I guess there are a bunch of guys from Texas here that didn't find this funny...
Saw this sweet rig this morning. The irony is palpable…
You must be an owner operator or someone that gets paid by the load to risk that run. I will say this if I had a pick with no clutch I would go with the big rig.Not a one up but a similar story.
Clutch went out of the Pete as I pulled under the load rack.
Jerked it out of gear and got stopped.
Threw on 8500 gallons of gas and like you said, put it in first gear (18sp) and start the motor.
I was able to make the rest of my 406 mile trip, timing stop lights and rolling stop signs, got unloaded, truck refueled and parked all without a clutch.
So yeah it can be done but would I want to do it every trip?
Not really
Reasons ? You’re in the crows nest and can read traffic 100 % better than a car. You can control your speed with Jake brake and more gears.
When I drove I would for the most part roll up to a stop without hitting by brakes and come to a complete stop.
Good job on getting your truck out of gear under the rack. As most would not know you could never get it out of gear without tapping the accelerator to take the load off transmission.
And I will say this only about 2 % of real drivers could actually pull that off, good job.
Especially with a load of fuel, you have a set.
The only way I knew how to drive my car home like that was because I used to drive my uncles 10 wheeler that had a 5 and 4 browning transmission.
And if anyone ever doubted a guy in a big rig could not come to a complete stop in a fully loaded big rig in city traffic without hitting his brakes I would say how much money do you have ?
Honestly it’s not really that hard you just have to know how to read traffic.
My whole CDL driving career that was about 10 yrs was all %, need I say more, lol.
Driving 80,000 fast and furious and 106,000 in Idaho in a truck and pup.
Loved driving but the pay sucked.
Same moral compass as well.
I guess I missed the back story pen this meme….
obviously there are scattered areas in #3 that would need attention. i can name everyone of them in FL. also,vulnerable from the caribbean like now. am sure guys from other states in #3 could point out areas in their states. area 4 is +/-. correct that IL would have to go. area 5 is a problem but would no doubt self destruct. but NC and esp KY would be vulnerable until 5 had totally burned itself out. all i know about WI/MI is the reports of their commie overload so no opinion. HI would be chinese quick but no loss. area 1 is quite balkanized so ??? real open invasion like we have going now from the southern border a big prob.
