It weighs up to 36,000 pounds, and can be used to harvest multiple crops. FUN FACTS: In colonial times, most American’s scratched out a living by tilling the soil. A few of these early Americans had a single draft animal to pull a crude plow, but most did their work with hand tools. During the first half of the 19th century, hundreds of inventors began building, tinkering, and experimenting with machines in hopes of making their work easier. By the mid-20th century, farmers had abandoned the use of horses for farming, except in a few localized areas, replacing them with tractors and other equipment.

All Occasions Limousine also gives the red carpet treatment for weddings, proms, parties, and concerts. FUN FACTS: A Limousine is a longer luxury car. The chassis may have been extended by the manufacturer or by an independent coach builder. Traditionally black or white in color, limousines are most commonly driven by chauffeurs and, until the mid-1990’s, were most often associated with the wealthy. There are three types of limousines: traditional, stage, and exotic. Judy Hofland All Occasions Limousine 212 Park Drive Harwood, ND 58042 701-306-3672 Fax: 701-356-5466 Careers on Wheels Exhibitors Hanson Runsvold Funeral Home Funeral Coach/Hearse This is a specialized, professional ceremonial vehicle with a very limited production. All coach/ hearse builders are certified by General Motors and the Ford Motor Company. Specialized vehicles have been produced for this purpose for a long time. Hearses were originally horse-drawn, but motorized examples began to be produced in 1909 in the United States and became more widely accepted in the 1920’s. It has many built in and somewhat hidden compartments! FUN FACTS: There are two common styles of hearse bodywork. The older style is the limousine style, which has narrow pillars and lots of glass. The landau style has a heavily-padded leather or vinyl roof and long blind rear quarters decorated with large metal S-shaped bars designed to resemble those used to lower the tops on some horse-drawn coaches. In the United States, it is common practice for the windows to be curtained, while in the United Kingdom the windows are normally left unobscured. Hearses resemble station wagons strictly because of the shape of the rear ends.

The Avenger is designed to counter hostile cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and low-flying, high-speed, fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters attacking or transiting friendly airspace. FUN FACTS: In the 1970’s, the U.S. Army concluded that the militarized civilian trucks in use no longer satisfied their requirements. In 1977, Lamborghini developed the Cheetah model to attempt to meet Army contract specifications. In 1979, the Army drafted final specifications for a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle or HMMWV. In July of that year, AM General (a subsidiary of American Motors Corporation) began preliminary design work, and less than a year later, the first prototype, the M998, was in testing. In June 1981, the Army awarded AM General a contract for development of several more prototype vehicles to be delivered to the U.S. government for another series of tests. The company was later awarded the initial production contract for 55,000 HMMWVs to be delivered in 1985. HMMWVs first saw combat in Operation Just Cause, the U.S. invasion of Panama in 1989. The HMMWV has become the vehicular backbone of U.S. forces around the world. Sgt.

Each car contains a radio, computer, video camera, and additional weapons if needed. You should always pull over to the side of the road when you see flashing lights! FUN FACTS: Education requirements range from a high school diploma to a college degree or higher. Job opportunities in most local police departments are excellent for qualified individuals. Applicants with college training in police science or military police experience will have the best opportunities. People depend on police officers and detectives to protect their lives and property. Law enforcement officers perform these duties in a variety of ways, depending on the size and type of their organization. In most jurisdictions, they are expected to exercise authority when necessary, whether on or off duty. Police and detectives pursue and apprehend individuals who break the law and then issue citations or give warnings. A large proportion of their time is spent writing reports and maintaining records of incidents they encounter. Most police officers patrol their jurisdictions and investigate any suspicious activity they notice. Detectives perform investigative duties, such as gathering facts and collecting evidence. The daily activities of police and detectives differ depending on their occupational specialty, such as police officer, game warden, or detective. Regardless of job duties or location, police officers and detectives at all levels must write reports and maintain meticulous records that will be needed if they testify in court.

They are expensive to own and operate. FUN FACTS: A semi-truck can also be referred to as an 18-wheeler, big rig, semi-trailer truck, or tractor-trailer. In North America, semi-trucks usually have 3 axles, the front or “steer” axle having two wheels, and each of the two rear “drive” axles having a pair of “dualies” (double) wheels on each side. The cargo trailer usually has two “tandem” axles at the rear, each of which has dual wheels, or 8 wheels on the trailer. Many trailers are equipped with moveable tandems that can be set to balance the weight of the trailer to stay within legal limits. The fuel tank capacity of a semi-truck can be anywhere from 50 to 200 gallons per tank depending on the purpose of the truck, such as delivering in town or across the country. Most semi’s have a tank on each side, which doubles the capacity.
