Re: New Dump Truck
Cat,
Nice looking Truck. It's a pretty ingenious way to store the spare tire mounted on the frame like that in front of the lift axle !!

Re: New Dump TruckQuote:
Yeah, I guess that he got tired of keeping the spare in the cab. BTW......why did you buy a quad-axle when I see a tri-axle in one of the pics ??

Re: New Dump TruckQuote:
Oops, I missed post #6. What I am trying to figure out is why other companies will only hire quads and not tris. I thought maybe the quads could haul more.

Re: New Dump Truck
I'd move.....lol
What size motor are in your trucks. I know down south, they run 4 and 5 axle trucks with small motors. Of course, there are no mountains to pull there like here in PA.
