    One advantage is clean/dry, not drippin muddy water like in Australia. But both use Macks, there is that.....
    Otherwise, good looking working trucks. Owner must have seen an OO's dump truck in Jersey City once, got ideas.

    I think if I was going to run old arn I’d like to find an R model sleeper unit. I did find a day cab CL with an E9. Pretty sweet for a CL but not 126,000 worth of sweet.

    Good luck. For a month or more, we have been having 4 days a week of alternating spotty thunderstorms. Sheets of rain, maybe hail for an our or so,the later same, cloudy in between. Hot on atternating day, but no hotter than years ago,

    @Jubal Early Times.. Ya might want to cast around for loads going into the junk iron grinder/heater in the Ind/Airport park a little west of Columbus, MS.
    Think it does the thin skin stuff for the auto plant surrounding us. Steams of outbound rolls daily coming out. Cool level pasture land, not the swampy cotton field riversides there. FYI.. You ever look for an excellent used truck, check with Osceola recycling/ ?Shoemake. PER his bro, he trades on a cycle, don't allow smoking in his trucks, and has a waiting list of wants to buy. May not be cheapest, but best on market...

    I’ve hauled many a coil out of Columbus, MS. I have a big wheel loader to get Monday morning in Franklinton, LA. So I will pin her ears back once I get done with this one.
