Left Frisco in 2000 and moved to Carson City, NV. Should have moved years earlier. The only bad thing about living here, is that we're to close to...
Also check to make sure your valve on the hydraulic tank is fully open. If it's near the ground, sometimes running over high piles of dirt will...
Do you guys get paid by the ton?
I just turned on 08 Pete into a ten wheeler this year in case they enforce those stupid carb laws in Kalifornia. I'm thinking of adding a drop...
I work mostly on the Kalifornia side and those guys are VERY STRICT on weight. I had to pay an $800.00 over loaded ticket last summer. When I stay...
Because I've been an owner operator for over twenty years and currently on my third ten wheel dump truck. All of them have been 12k front axles...
I started running my first ten wheeler in the bay area in 1998. I used to broker through S & S, Martini Trucking, and Poli Trucking, plus a few...
The trucks are paid the same, the drivers are paid more at a prevailing wage job. Me, as an owner operator, am paid at my regular hourly fee.
You'll be fine with that. There's no way you need an 18k or 20k front axle. That's a bit of overkill. It would be nice to have but you don't need...
I thought I wanted one of these, too. I hate it. It does exactly as you describe. They have a mind of their own. Nothing like coasting along at 25...
That might be a bit of overkill. A 12k or 14k front axle is plenty.
I've got a real nice and reliable 1996 KW T800 that I might let go for around that price. Let me know if you're interested.
Yep, you are right. Over in Moundhouse. I totally forgot about them. I've actually hauled dirt for them, too.
I don't know anybody that runs gypsum out of here. Maybe somewhere else in Nevada.
Thanks guys. I never see them out here.
What are "lightweight" end dumps compared to regular end dumps?
I've got some frozen dirt about a foot thick down the middle of my box. Every thing sticks in a dump truck. I've seen ten wheelers with a motor...
Yep, that really answered the guy's question. :biggrin_25526:
Mine gets parked from December to April. I'll go out and start it every week or two. Let it run for 15 or 20 minutes. I've never had any problems....
