    I think Oakley is still selling the tuthill 850 but I'm not sure. Buying one of those or a Gardner Denver either one would be OK. I like the Gardner Denver myself.

    thank you! I'm looking at the GD T5CDL9, or the 12 kinda trying to weigh the benefit of the heavier blower... I know the vibration is crazy on the smaller ones... I had one that used to blow the cap off if I didn't tighten it down with a pipe wrench about every other week...that thing could go 40' in the air! LOL

    That's a lot of blower did you look at the rotory blower d907 that's what's on my truck works pretty good in my humble opinion

    Awesome, I just spoke with Wayne in the shop, he thinks the D907 would be fine, as long as the PTO shaft is true from the Xmsn. I think I'll run with that. thank you for all your help! ~B~

    Sorry for the delay. I ran local on Pneumatic for a couple weeks. This is my first run away from the yard. So far I like it.

    I swapped because the Empty and loaded pay is more. Also, the detention is easier to get paid and there is no more frozen/stuck loads, or shoveling. I loved end dump when I was on it. Manuel was an awesome dispatcher. Thats the only reason that I took so long to swap. I know have Jordan and he's really good as well.

    Oakley is a good company. There are a lot of good drivers here as well. I've made some real good friends here since I've been here. A few off here I've met at the yard or on the road. My truck is unique so I stand out pretty well. Barney can't hide very good. LoL.
