Re: Google maps truckspotting
That looks like a blown turbo caused that.
Re: Google maps truckspotting
Ah back in 2009 (Choose the April 2009 streetview to see it) when Labatt still had their old Western Stars and the gold coloured B-trains.

Re: Google maps truckspotting
Those Labatt trucks look so wild with those 6' spread drives.
Re: Google maps truckspotting
@TruckSimChris and that's why I like them.
Here's a bunch of trucks I've found further down the I-70.
Here's a bunch of trucks I've found further down the I-70.
- Cascadia with a step-frame reefer opens the show.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/hre6JcQUpcf8WfKaA - Kenworth T660 hauling a food grade tanker. "Dairy Farmers America".
https://maps.app.goo.gl/H5mejdgzC2AyUjgD6 - Your typical 2000s rig.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/SzjbSYvtTacjrqdv9 - Here's a short sleeper Peterbilt 386.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/u396NQJbT6X2UUG29 - FedEX single drive daycab T660 with one pup trailer. Looks funky.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/HWx6Hd9uB1SnYB9RA - Kenworth T880 with a tiny sleeper and an interesting dryvan trailer.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/JDNAZpi7MnvoE46v6 - Freightliner Columbia tanker truck and trailer rolling down the side road.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/txPwLEZcmJMws7QC8 - A good-looking Volvo VNL.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/u5BCQpZUrp6H9q2b7 - Finally a classic Peterbilt. This one with a flatbed.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/eLFnARZjBTZmSfRD9 - SAIA old Volvo with mismatched trailers. The scenery is nice around this part of highway too.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/9A277wGD6fX1tSAY8 - Mack Pinnacle daycab pulling a dryvan.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/WQbH5em5TG8rDjcp9 - International ProStar that looks somewhat cool here. Strange structure under the trailer again.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/iPKkbR8eGcsJMQgk8 - Here's a Kenworth T800 with a gas tanker.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/H9YVQyrKTB7TmZTo6 - One cool Kenworth T680 here.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/EV1x7kvhsj65LmU26 - A Dodge pickup truck hauling a cool Volkswagen Transporter.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/kgP8WdMGfYFiLbPeA - National Carriers Inc.'s Kenworth T680. Nice shade of blue. The company's based out in often-mentioned-in-the-discussion-threads Liberal, Kansas, btw.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/UJ8V6BnTvwkc4qaW8 - Pretty patriotic trailer, huh. A different Cascadia visible from the same point.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/YZTypzmFfLGbVC7W6 - International ProStar on the frontage road, pulling a very unconventional trailer. Probably delivering some big glass panes.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/yv3uNXnprSudAjie9 - Freightliner FLD with what looks like a food grade tanker. Has different wheels on the truck.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/S9YW99ExZGaQvkJi7 - A nice matching paintjob on this Cascadia and its trailer.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/mAc6zQ2XAgtYwsGU6 - Here's a small Ford dump truck hauling a mini excavator on a trailer.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/Mopb6uXjET7mmSZ4A - Another Ram pickup truck. That load must be very light.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/EfmPDru9QoKQWLzh8 - And then here's this 389 Peterbilt with a huge sleeper and a ton of chicken lights.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/Pjpe8Y7Prps46uno8 - A Kenworth T800W hauling an oversize excavator. Sadly, the street view is weirdly warped here and this is the best you can see the load.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/3F3xexd2cooeNKLP7 - Peterbilt 579 idling on the on-ramp shoulder. Stepdeck trailer with a load of what looks like dumpsters.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/dTBvhNisyp8HoP989 - A Freightliner FLD (or is it Classic XL?) turned into something.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/duexZThqGWC6E6Mx7 - Here's a Freightliner Century Class. 3 more trucks visible in a rest area to the right.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZTnonf2XqrRZgZJQ9 - Decided to actually visit that rest area...
https://maps.app.goo.gl/EZk14W4TL1VzVJiB9 - Here's a three-axle Kenworth T800 dump truck.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/THS95A1xMhwkWu8x6 - Some rescue operation here?
https://maps.app.goo.gl/6Eu36w3bt2BHZTNd9 - Another Peterbilt 389, this one has an empty stepdeck on the back. There also seems to be a building with a 50670 I-70 address near there.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/iDK74hyBHcBMAv8V6 - Mack RD cement mixer.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/vxyNNPjxaRnEUAPp7 - A shiny Peterbilt 579 hauling square tubes.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/XddQZMbMpaRRh21p8 - 379 with a chip van. Street view jumped into another day.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZyJhzLfeDPxE9qhd8 - The No Name tunnels during the maintenance on one of the tubes. Westbound Cascadia.

Re: Google maps truckspotting
@Skoot That structure under the trailers is an aerodynamic device that reduces drag by deflecting air around the trailer axle assembly. I actually wish that SCS would add that as an option to the owned trailer in ATS.
Re: Google maps truckspotting
Thanks for clarifying @supersobes. Looks ugly if you ask me, but eh.
