    Nice service trucks. I am a big believer in Bigger is Better when it comes to service trucks. Give me a Freightliner or a KW over a Ford or GM any day. Thanks for posting the pictures

    Now that's the type of work I'd love to get involved with. Working on a pipeline and hanging on to the side of mountains would be wild to say the least!

    It looks like the Wasatch front, just to the east of Salt Lake City, UT - or more specifically to the east of Bountiful, UT just north of SLC. (fwiw)

    Great pics. I like the Polaris setup. Hope to have one like the Peterbilt one day.

    Nice service truck. So where is the sleeper and can you get satellite TV for that thing.

    Maintaner built my service body.

  17. #17CM19952012-03-25 22:21

    IMO, Maintainer makes the best service body. There are some very good products that come out of Iowa.:usa
