Peterbilt: Long-Haul Legend
by J.E. Beach
|
|
|
|
|
Frustrated with the pace of getting logs to mills by river, steam
tractor, or even horse team, lumber baron T. A. Peterman
experimented with adapting early automobile technology. In 1939,
the remarkable logging trucks he'd refashioned out of surplus army
trucks finally went on sale to the public and Peterbilt was launched.
This illustrated history follows Peterbilt from its beginnings to its
emergence as one of the worlds most successful semi truck
manufacturers. Veteran trucking author Beach highlights the models
that have made Peterbilt such an outsize presence in the trucking
industry, as well as those trucks that figure prominently in the
Peterbilt story. From the classic "iron nose" and "narrow-nose" butterfly
hood, to the tilt-cab cab-over-engine model; from the high cab model
and first tilt hood to fiberglass and flat "pit style" fenders; from the
rarest Peterbilt ever manufactured (a mere 10 of the 346) to the
company's flagship truck (the 379, built from 1987 through 2007),
these are the trucks and features, the innovations and marvels of
engineering, detailed and richly illustrated in this book, that have
made Peterbilt a name to be reckoned with in trucking worldwide.

Fighting Fire: Trucks, Tools and Tactics
In powerful, on-the-scene pictures and text,
author/photographer Shapiro explores the special
techniques and equipment brought to bear on fires in cities
and suburbs, rural outposts and wilderness, in homes and
industrial structures. He also takes a close look at hair-raising
rescues and other "non-firefighting" tasks that firefighters find
themselves facing. From bold photography and detailed
descriptions of fire fighting to close-up looks at the fire house
and its full array of equipment--trucks, ladders, pumpers, and
tankers--this book conveys both the technical nitty-gritty and
the fiery action of meeting and containing one of nature's
most brutal forces.
