Cool it was originally spect from the factory as a dump truck I bought it about 4 years ago from a buddy of mine I was thinking about putting a fifth wheel on it and just working it for a while since it's paid for should I sell this thing as a dump truck and take my money and try to buy a decent road tractor and hope that it doesn't have a bunch of issues or just keep my old baby that is running great and just make it work?

 

I'm just tired of the dump truck scene in California aside from the whole carb issue it's harder and harder to say working because everybody's afraid to work you without a new truck and we all know a new truck to do dump trucking is not the answer but I would like to get my feet wet before I invest a ton of money and make a bunch of payments when I could probably drop five grand on my old truck and run it out of CA

 

I know there is dump truck work in other states but I'll be honest with you I'm tired of all these chasing work living in hotels or staying around So Cal and sitting in traffic, and I have trucker friends and I have family out of state so I'd like to make a go of it I was going to a few years ago but I got really busy around here and I figured I'd make it while I can but there's no future in this dump truck business unless you're a broker not a one-man operation I make a living but it's pretty silly when you realize you spend two or three hours a day in traffic for free without getting paid that's why I'd like to get out of here just don't want to start a payment plan

 

No need for restoration is it California truck. It has zero rust. The interior is completely original and unmolested and everything works only thing different is I have a new driver's seat still has the ivory steering wheel and Corvette Dash I've already put about 50,000 miles on it in the last 10 or 11 months I've worked in all over California so I could technically just slow down and save all the money I have but thought it would be a little more comfortable to drive 65 instead of 55 I've been driving a mechanical caterpillar 4 the last 18 years my last truck was a 92 379 tri axle dump a 13-speed Rockwell and I really learned how to drive and never tickle the turbo on the old trucks. I replaced everything on my 92 twice and finally learn to slow it down and baby it a bit so when my friend was selling this truck that I'm talking about the 86 he was the original owner and the truck just an in-frame 100000 MI prior to me buying it in 2015 the truck is in great shape and it's great in the mountains but on Flatlands I feel like I'm getting passed by everybody cuz I keep it at about 57. The air conditioning is cold and the heater works it shift smoother than my 92 truck that I recently sold that had almost 2 million miles on it so I couldn't pass it up . So I was just wondering if I should gear or just keep my mouth shut and turn the radio up

 

Oh yeah and it's only going to have me driving it so not concerned with profitability with a driver or growing my fleet and I'm just doing this so I don't have to go get a real job
