Hey Al... Yeah finally? You know? That's the sad part. Bill does do quality work and has always in the past? Bill done several trucks for us in the past..
He also done the chassis on this Superliner.. Which turned out perfect... I just don't know what happened? Since his last move to his current location?
I'm clueless of what's going on? Just seems like the left hand don't know what the right hand is doing?.. Be safe and take care... Steve

Sound's to me that this truck was just a pile of parts laying around the shop and somebody had an idea of putting together what sound's like a
futuristic nightmare when it comes time to repair.

It kind of sounds like you don't know how big trucks work

A fine addition to the fleet Steve..Superliners look great as tow trucks..I'm sure once it's completed it will have that Highpoint 1st class look..

I think you hit the nail on the head? Bill done quit a few jobs for us? We never had any issues with the past work. Then this happened? I know Bill over 30
years.... I tried to sit and talk with the owners in the beginning? But it soon became apparent we were beating a dead horse. Be safe... Steve

It sound's to me that cutting out 46 air ride would not have been my 1st choice, I think cutting off the Holmes wheelift and addind the NRC undereach like
He's done in the past would have been a better option, I just don't get cutting out airride!

Steve,
I have a Superliner with the big Mack V-8 It has an Aluminum Frame that has some tears in it so it is going to have to be replaced when time permits. Cant wait as I think it will be excellent for a Heavy tow truck. Good luck with yours, I know it will turn out like all the other High Point trucks. I just bought a truck with a 1040B, It is the first one for us. Is there anything good or bad you can or will tell me about this body? Robert |

We acuired ours when we bought another tow company. The guys in the maintenance shop did a great job refurbishing this unit to new condition. It has a new Mack
motor ( not a rebuild ) and trans ( 10 speed ). All the wiring and controls were replaced. This unit is a work horse, the driver would quit if we ever sold
this unit.

Would the under lift off Kong be able to be put on the back of this if it is still around?

Kongs is gone already.. But we are currently considering just that.. But with a new one...The holmes unit does do a great job? But it is a bit short on busses
and set back axles..... Be safe... Steve

Steve, how come you elected to add a big sleeper cab to the Superliner? Will this wind up being your primary cross country heavy? Can't wait to see the
finished product. Thanks. Mike

We added the big sleeper for 2 reasons... 1. Wheelbase.. lifting & towing ability... 2. For road work...We do alot of runs here and there that require lay
overs.... So it will be nice not to have to fork over $100.00 to $150.00 for a hotel.... Be safe.. Steve

Steve,
Do you think the Superliner will hit the road about the same time as King Kong? |

No Ithink Kong will be completed way before the Superliner is completed. We are still in litagation over damages and the money needed to complete and correct
there errors... But it shouldn't be to long.... Be safe.... Steve
