Ah what spare fuses????? even my old 1977 I H 4300 only had a fuse for the radio , the C B, the scanner and my Midland company radio oh and Jake brake that got tossed and replaced with a breaker after the fuse blew on the Pa. Pike coming out of the one tunnel and made for a wild ride down the mountain . Everything else was breakers and come to think about it even the 1970 R 700 Mack was all breakers except for the radio. The last big truck i drove was a 1998 I H 9400 and again all breakers except the radio and a radio is not something that should it fail affect the safe operation of said truck. Loved pulling RGN's as ya would have to be real skinny to crawl under one of them even when empty . also having fairing helps keep them from crawling under . I so enjoyed hauling the oversized as i was never bothered , Most times i could not get on the scales due to the design of the scale house , N.C. built this fancy new scale on I 40 and with those tire presses i hauled if i went on the scales that fancy bay picture winder would have been removed with the left side of the load . and with each load i would go in and park off to the side and take my permits in and after the third time i walked thru the door i would get OH it's YOU again , GET OUT OF HERE and see ya in two weeks as every two weeks i would haul another press . The one old scale i had to cross was here in Ohio , The old weigh master there hated me because the first time i pulled in he had all these traffic cones set up so that he could see if you were on his scales or tryen to keep one tire off the outside . I knocked them all down and scattered them all over the place . Made him mad . Two weeks later we did it again . I told him that i'll do it again in two weeks . He told me that in two weeks when i come in just pull around back and come in waving your permit . don't come across the scales . I got to see your permit. . i asked him if there was anything else i could do for him and he siad being smart , Well ya could bring me a Whopper Curly fries and a diet coke . I'll pay ya . So that was what he got i would stop at the truck stop above the scales and go to Burger King and get him his supper .
