    Every dump truck in N Cal is working on cleaning up the town of Paradise that burned last year so getting a hired truck is difficult. Good end dump drivers are HARD to find and lowbed drivers are impossible and they are the biggest whiners and prima donnas ever...…….

    This is a variable gauge though, but according to the book it should be 89k less the ctw, and I don't have a quick coupler. 3.52 cy bucket (72") weighs 5600 as near as I can deduce, but I sure am hoping you guys are right. I'll know for sure soon enough!

    I’m not sure what the variable gauge adds, our 70” bucket for our 450’s weighs 5600# so you should be close. The coupler is heavier than you think so not having on will offset some of the bucket weight.

    I've worked with some who were, at least right at first, but they usually got the high-hat worked out of them by the second season. ;)
