The easiest way to get started is to work for a gravel quarry, dirt pit, or sand pit that hires O/O trucks to deliver their materials to...
That's an interesting idea. I will try to get a pic.
It has 315's, 245 wheelbase, set forward axle. It's a 10 wheeler dump truck with a 17' box. I thought it was the cylinder running out of travel...
The stops were already turned in as far as they would go. I took them completely off, but it didn't seem to help much. Nothing gets close to...
I recently bought a 2006 Peterbilt 357 equipped with a 20k steer axle. Single box with a assist cylinder on the passenger side. 40 acres doesn't...
I was focused on the 110k, and missed that you only wanted to gross 79k. I would still want the 20k steer axle and 46k rears because you will have...
It's going to take a purpose built heavy spec truck to hold up carrying that kind of weight. 20k or heavier steer axle, 2 20k pound lift axles,...
Hopefully you will forgive me for not noticing how funny you are.
That's old man's truck not Blair.
Where I'm at the dot doesn't seem to be concerned about the axle rating on the door stickers. I have a 12k pound steer axle, and have replaced the...
I'm in the same position. My truck is air ride, but wanting to update to something newer. Prices just don't make sense to me. I'm probably going...
In theory you should be able to carry that assuming your steer axle and springs can handle 20,000.
Based on what I could find CO. allows 53,000 on a tridem. So you would be better off with a lighter weight steerable lift axle. It looks like...
The pay tends to get better when the guy that owns the truck and does the work sets the rate. If not, that's sign that person isn't qualified to...
Reading some of these replies makes me understand why most of the used trucks for sale are worn smooth out.
Hopefully someone interviews Blair so he can tell us more about his time as a Kangaroo rancher.
I didn't know New Zealand had Kangaroos...
I purchased 2 sets of hinge bolt kits through AES's Ebay store. They look really well made, and come complete with the plastic bushing just like...
If you need to bridge 80k you will need a 39' trailer. I would go with a frameless because a frame type that long will be too heavy.
The rubber is molded on to the bracket. You have to replace the whole thing.
