In NYC they run those as flowboys for asphalt . If you run trailers for hire you need to have them ,the more the better. With triaxles or quad axles they are good for 40 tons . Running dump trailers for asphalt into spreader boxes seems like ages ago. That is a great looking unit. Love those Mack day cabs. Judging by the buildings in the pictures are they used for hauling farming materials?

Navy sorry that you haven't heard any replies to your questions . I am a NY sand and gravel driver so I'm sorry I can't help you with any of those companies. You will find the people on this site to be very helpful with knowledge and pictures on all phases of trucking . Welcome aboard

My boss has 3 superliners set up the same way with sanders.

There are a couple names from the past. Lizza is still huge here in NYC with three companies. I have been doing doubles working nites for them . They are doing a lot of the milling work for the DOT in NYC and it seems like they have all the paving work on Long Island

Also if you have a tag along trailer hookup on the dump truck make sure it is taken off before dumping into the asphalt spreader . It will damage the spreader . If you have never dumped into a spreader its not a bad idea to let the laborer controlling the crew know that you are new to it so he can pay more attention when you are in the box. Some of the asphalt crews can be very loud and aggressive so Concentrate on the one guy controlling the dumping of the truck usually on the drivers side rear where the truck and paver connect

Any reason why the dump trailers in Chicago are so much smaller then what we run here in NYC? The obvious would be weight restrictions but even still they look small

Hey saw an O&G foreman pick up truck surveying a road on LI about 30 minutes outside NYC today. I have never seen them down here working on any projects.

How many are you running during the good weather ?

Yeah me too . That truck has that look

Beautiful truck good luck with her. Takes me back to a time when all you saw down here in NYC was R models and DMs instead of the Pete's KWs and Volvos. I would trade the KW I drive for that any day of the week. The R models and DMs were such good looking trucks

I was told that was a glider. Anyway you shake it it's beautiful . Reminds me of Capobiancos truck for you LI guys circa late 80s-90s

I agree beautiful RD.

That thing is beautiful. I bet them pipes sound great

No more Superliner . I have been " upgraded" to green T-800 . Not a Mack but a very good truck.The Superliner and the Granite are the last 2 Mack dump trucks left.There are 3 Superliners set up for sanding only . We have been very busy especially for December . How's things by you?
