It's a 2020 model.
This is just a public service announcement. May be common knowledge, but I thought I'd share my experience. I run a handful of heavy trucks in...
To revisit an old thread- The DEF system on my 2020 Freightliner 108 needs major repairs. Truck has 57,000 miles. The service advisor says that...
We used snap binders many years ago to bind construction equipment. I've taken two guys to doc-in-the-box for snap binder injuries, one was...
WD-40. I know, it's more of a solvent than a lubricant. But it does the job and it doesn't build up and attract dirt.
We had a '73, single screw with manual steering. Steering was really good on the highway, not so pleasant around town. We pulled a short dump...
The other thread about secure truck parking in Las Vegas got my wheels turning. Is there demand for secure truck parking on a monthly basis? I'm...

We move a 35,000 lbs excavator, a Cat 315CL, behind a 10-wheel dump truck. Not particularly heavy specs, but it has full locking rears, so it's...
Yeah, the thread did get a bit off topic, but kudos to you for seeking advice.
If I were in your shoes, I'd buy a 50-ton RGN, with a third lift axle, 24 to 26 ft. well and covered rear wheels. That's what most contractors...
Say you're securing a bulldozer, and you run a chain from each side of the trailer to the drawbar pin on the dozer. Is that considered a single...
I like those deck clips. I had to special order thick fender washers for about the same price.
We just re-decked an Eager Beaver tag trailer. Eager Beaver uses 3/8" bolts and 2" diameter heavy fender washers for deck attachment. Drill...
