Where is everyone #5

Dang. Well, you can't make it sitting on the couch so more power to them. The 4 axle with pup would be interesting to watch too. How far are they hauling?

 

Yeah, he's unhooking the pup every time so the truck rocks don't smash the reach. Hard way to earn a buck in a truck, but it's December!
Around 40 miles a turn.

 

I've forgotten. Are you based in PA?

 

Buddy I've had the same thoughts. House, kid, truck,shop. It adds up.

 

Its nuts. I just had the thought I could squeeze the rolling chassis of the KW into the shop now lol. Its gonna need to go on a diet, I want to get the tare weight to 11k lbs or less. It might end up with a little C12 or Series 60 under the hood instead of the 3406A and retarder.

 

New machine shed.

 

Side dumps are very popular here now. Still a few end dumps around, but we can haul much more in a side dump due to longer bridge, and more axles as needed.

 

I think I am going to delete the Brakesaver. Extra weight and they always seem to leak. My old man had a nearly identical truck years ago and that thing would never stay sealed up very long. Thinking I might put an exhaust brake on it and see how that works. I just absolutely HATE seeing oil leaks on anything I own or stains on the driveway.
