Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Thanks...The Queen is; Black Passion. My customizing will be a little here and a little there. Sorry wrong tanker, it's brand spanking new, arrived the day before we left for Indy.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Sweet! great little company you have got going there!

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Looking great guys! Nice intro too ;)

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Mario and Sue-

You two are something else!! I really enjoyed you two at Indy and already looking forward to next year.

Take care and KEEP ON TRUCK'IN

_Terry

P.S. What kind of lowboy did you purchase? Let's see some pics.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Susan and I always try to be something else :) :) can't wait till next year:cool:

I got it from rc4wd ....they call it a heavy duty flatbed transporter.....I know I keep saying lowboy but it isn't . I suffer from lowboy envy I guess. I always say, money isn't everything but right now..... To have the lowboy I want money IS everything!:eek: will post pics as soon as it arrives.... I figure sometime next week....
Lol

Mario:eek:

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

kool rigs,hey mario did you extend the chassis on yours .it looks a little longer than when i seen it at clifford,and also i might go to the indy show next year .is it held every year? if i go i will be bringing optimus for sure ,its a slow process but when its done i hope it blows every ones socks off.outstanding sue that you are part of this ..looking forward to running with you sometime soon:D:D:D....ROCK ON S&M Trucking!!!!!!are you guys going to decal your trucks with your new name?

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Hey D , yes I did extend 3" after the Clifford show. After talking to ya about it, then once I got the extensions in my hands I realized it wasn't so bad. Am I ever glad I did it, looks way more proportional to the cab and sleeper size.
Dude, you MUST go to Indy ! Don't get me wrong, Clifford show was my first and was awsome! Without it, I don't think I would have had the desire to make the Indy show happen for us....you will be amazed!!! RC heaven dude! It was RC heaven.....3 days ain't enough! This year was the 8th annual event, pretty sure it will be at the Marriott again next year. Event info is on garden trucking.com site.

Can't wait to run with ya again soon. Are we doing Clifford next year? I hope so, we gave the hobby great exposure . Let's do it again!:cool:

Oh yeah, decals are in the works. Little Mario and Susan decals for the doors and a main logo which was first suggested by Swagger months ago....the ying yang symbol with a S and M in each side. ( the evolution of the first idea of calling the company ying yang trucking prior to Susan getting into it ) ....so, it all works out....got a name, got a logo.

Speaking of which....I haven't heard nor seen Swagger posts for along time???

Ps. Can't believe I had the nerve to tell ya your gonna need a trailer to haul the gear.... If I keep this up, I'm right behind you:D:D:D

Mario

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

i got another globeliner with a flatbed trailer..nothing special no mfu or radio gear .got it for next to nothing ...right place at the right time thing...i am redoing the globeliner ,haven't figured out about the trailer yet.i got another trailer from a guy on this forum it is an extended 42"flatbed with storage boxes picking it up from ups friday..really looking forward to it ,always wanted a scale flatbed.no worries about the bobtail thing...its an addiction and i am always thinking of new ideas to build some it's a fad and others it keeps going on and on in my head then its like...crap!! now i want to build it..you know the deal ..nice reefer trailer..might needs some burgers and steaks delivered for a bbq...are you for hire:p:p:p

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Great intro Mario.:D:D:D You and Susan are definitely going to have some show stoppers at the shows.;):):cool: Can't wait to see the logo.

Big John

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Well done!! Very nice looking semi's also!! Keep on truckin'. Maybe I can get the wife to stop logging in under my name and she can have her own, or a combined effort like you and sue!! :cool:

Tim

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

thanks cabrover, ya we thought about 2 threads but ultimately, this is all about enjoying the hobby together so why have separate builds? Start a company ! two trucks better than one. :) i think this will work well for us and yes, keep on truckin'

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

S&M has a new trailer!!!

I ordered this baby all the way from california like 9 days ago and its already here!!! You been asking for pics Terry, heres a few quick ones.

this baby is getting a light kit. about 20 led should do it....or maybe ill go Smiley style and put 120 :D:D I'm very happy. i have plans already for the deck. its too much shiny smooth black surface.....im thinking some checker plate strips along the deck, dot tape on the sides.....etc...
But hey, S&M needs to make cash and looks like we have our first customer! 1985kenworth needs our reefer. I'm sending Sue for this one.....see how it go's:rolleyes:

So what would you call it? a flatbed? lowboy?.....

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Definately a lowboy trailer, Nice combinataion!
Cheer's, Neil.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Great looking trailer!!! Now you just need a dump trailer..... Just saying gotta haul gravel too... :)

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Thanks guys.....Aaron, you read my mind! :D:D:D. S&M trucking will be ready for Indy next year!

Mario, S&M trucking.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Nice looking fleet! Your trucks put that "scale" front loader to shame! I don't think your Bling Hauler is shiny enough though... :D lol What's next for your fleet?

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Hey Aaron..Funny you should say that. I found the trailer I want yesterday-a dump trailer, lol...Now to show Mario the pics, and add to the wish list...

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Boys really don't need any extra encouragement when decking out their toys...lol..

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Speaking of decking.... as i said before, the deck is too black and no detail ..... i happen to purchase some checker plate from ric at the indy show, made what i wanted and had lots leftover. so........ heres what i came up with .
Please be honest, tell me what you think...

Is the large plate above the axles too much?

what kind of glue and prep would be recommended? the trailer is powdercoated?

Thanks for looking and dont be shy with any suggestions or comments.

Mario

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

The center plate looks good , I would rough up the finish to make sure it sticks better. Could use 3M double side film tape.

I hope your trailer is better than mine , I have have few problems, fit and finish isn't the best, the coating isn't sticking and the screws were coated over and the 1 drop leg don't work very well.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

That's scary dude :eek::eek: you just described the issues I have with mine to a tee ! Even the one leg don't work wel, just one! Overall , I'm happy with the look, tires and rims, suspension and built solid. It just ain't a show stopper... Ya get what ya pay for......guess I should have bit the bullet and contacted Izzy. Then you know, your getting the best:)

Thanks for your input :cool:

Mario

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

In this pic the rear bar of the trailer looks like it has a shiney piece of aluminum or sheet metal.. i think if you add that to it as well with the decking the way you have it it would look killer and fit behind king bling perfect ;) I think it looks great! Dont forget to add your reflective tape :)

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Thanks Aaron, I see what your saying...looks like I'm buying more checkerplate:D:D
Ohhh yeah, dot tape on order, company logo on the goose neck and a larger logo on the middle of the deck, rear tail lights marker lights and mudflaps, etc....It's gonna be sweet. Time is of the essence, not going to start the major rebuild on Susan's truck till outdoor trucking season is over. I got till then to get this trailer done and then focus on her rig... :D:D

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

I like the diamond plate. looks good. The tread on those trailer tires look more like drive tires for the truck rather than trailer tire. If they're the same size try swapping them to your truck and the truck tires to your trailer and see what it looks like. Congats to you and mamma on S&M trucking.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

I really like the look of the trailer. Can't wait to see it with the rest of the add on's. Great addition to the fleet.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Thanks for the input :). I like your idea, I'm going to try swapping tires and if it looks good I guess I'm going to have to order more tires for the third trailer axle:eek:... Ohhh well, between this 3 axle , my quad axle flat bed, and the other 2 trailers I got enough rubber to start my own tire company :D:D
Thanks again for the suggestion, have a great day !

Mario

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

i also like the diamond plateing. it breaks it up forsure then just all black. add some d.o.t tape and that will also help alot and real affect. favorite part is forsure the tires. nice trailer

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Thanks D D

I love the tires too. I tried them on the truck , they look mean almost too mean. :confused::confused: Makes the truck look like a bush hauler , more gravel road ready. The king of bling is not a bush truck, she's a highway hauler. Besides the tires make the trailer look tough and can handle anything.

Mario

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

hey mario thats the exact duplicate of mine that you pulled at clifford just mine is yellow.i haven't got around to adding lights to mine but i will...say if i send you mine will i get it back or will you paint it black and put your s&m decals on it ...:p:p:pall in all the trailer detail you did looks great .i like the diamond plate work .oh and about that shipment for the bbq yea,send sue with it i work better with women anyways..lol.:rolleyes:your fleet is coming along really well ,maybe next year for clifford i will get a 53 ft trailer and come and get your fleet along with mine and roll into the show in style with zeus:)

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Sounds like a good plan to all the above. You could send your trailer but it has to go to the back of the line, and I would make sure it went back the same way...lol Send your cattle hauler, that would for sure end up with one of our logos on it..I want the cattle hauler and dump trailer for my truck..lol..

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

no problem sue i'll get right on that:p:p:p

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Me n Sue have been working on the company logo today. This is what we came up with so far.... Still working on finding the right font for the lettering. Otherwise, keep it simple I always say:):):rolleyes:

http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/...ler2012/SM.jpg

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

looks good so far yea with different lettering will make it unique to your company:D:D

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Nice looking fleet you have there. Trailer mods are spot on, I like it.

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

That's awsome Sharkey , thanks for the info dude :cool:
I'll be going to staples tommorow :D

Mario

Re: S&M Trucking open for bizz nizz !!!
 

Lol. Have you noticed how many tires I can practice on? Current inventory is 64 total. I like the gold idea as a contrast to all the chrome and yet is still added bling. Thanks dude:D
