Sorry guys, but I just had to get this off the "Larimar" renovation thread. We can continue talking about Larimar over there but here is a clean thread for our new football semi, which I think looks awesome!

Interesting that all of the local TV stations have had stories about the new rig, but nothing in the Blade.

Happened to see it last night heading south on I 75. Even looks better on the road.

There was a picture of the semi in the Blah printed edition yesterday.

Since I don't notice things like equipment trucks, what has UT been using prior to this new truck?

Trucks similar to this.

OK I found it down in a bottom corner. Looked like an ad. Nice placement.

We saw this nice rig a couple weeks ago in Maumee. The wife and I were eating and we could see it out the window parked near Dussel in Maumee. By the time we were done eating, it was gone. I had forgotten all about it and then saw the article someone posted in the other thread. Finally good to know what it was all about!

I'm sure that K Limited will still use the truck and tailor throughout the year, so it'll be good advertising for UT. I wish they included MAC Championship & bowl game appearances on their, and the ticker office ph#.

Thank you. It is quite a change.

Hmm, I never thought of that. I don't imagine you would let that expensive tractor set idle 8-9 months out of a year. The trailer maybe.

Trucks, like airplanes, only make money while in motion. You'll see it all over I'm sure, occasionally hauling gear for UT.
