Dirt dummy for over 3 years now

Not all trucks work tonnage more than 90% of my work is hourly and the way it should all be

Makes the roads safer


Lot of my buddies run frameless trailers they spread a lot of gravel with and they are sketchy

I wouldn't have one because your cant haul hotmix with it

 

They have their place I think. I mean for us we were dumping stationary(walk the truck) on level concrete about 90% of the time hauling grains... The other 10% we'd be out in the field dumping lime,rock,etc. In these cases we'd only load the back half (still 25-30ton) We'd still dump with the trailer stationary but I'd never move my eyes from the trailer when going up.
If I knew I'd always be dumping at a plant,on concrete or the like I wouldn't be too concerned about running one.. If I was in construction where I'd be dumping on site or needing to dump and spread I'd think twice about it.
I had someone recently try and tell me how frameless were actually stronger and more stable than a framed one, something about there being more points of contact, I think it was?

 

Been "dumping" with a mini-wheeler for a few years now and just bought a semi. Now would like to get into to frameless. Any suggestions on Florida companies that are good to their o/o ???

 

Why cant you haul hotmix with it? We've hauled hotmix with ours and I know a few others who have ran hot mix with theirs as well.

 

I guess I could. "Hotmix"... is this the same as asphalt? I try to stay away from asphalt, stuff will ruin a bed quick if your not careful, speaking from experience.

 

Hit mix won't ruin a bed unless you have the wrong liner in it


The reason a frameless wont haul asphalt is the ### end doesn't sit in the paver right and the truck would then get pushed by the draft arms they don't last long doing that
