I was going to have it blasted first, but I think the fenders are getting a little thin for that. It's spent a lot of time in the limestone and salt.

here's a not so good pic of a superliner water truck at land & lakes, a L&S Cartage granite dumping washout from the mixer plant, and my freshly painted (by the kids in the driveway) mongoose. I guess I should wash my windows before taking pictures at the quarry!

yep. all meyer. I think ozinga runs Oshkosh front discharge and KW rear discharge. some are natural gas. apparently that's a big deal now

i have towed a bunch of Conway kw tractors that are set up just like that. the rear axle has a normal housing but no guts or axles. has a flat plate bolted onto the front of the housing and dummy caps on the ends of the axle tubes

I know barge terminal has one, its red and says kayelyns cartage or something on it...but I see juan driving a white loaner cat truck from patten more than I see him in his actual truck

trailer new is about $33k. the R model is beautiful...but priced a little high. pretty sure it wont be exported!

cant figure out how to post the link...but that 89 r model "dale transport" tractor (which pics were posted of) with a 2014 coras dump trailer is on ebay for ... a buy it now of $69000.

if that's worth $69k, its time to sell everything and retire

yes. ozinga bought the redi mix trucks and plants. I think the company that owned meyer kept the quarry business

K-five has several like that, but they are tri-axle units...not sure what that gains them around here

that's a nice setup. what does one of those trailers cost versus a end dump?

they run those on the front discharge mixers around here

sadly it has been replaced by a W900

all a cat truck is a Navistar with a CAT emblem on the grill

I heard all new K5 trucks will be white because red paint costs too much. maybe Ozinga thinks the same

truck troopers were out in force today at 59 & 64. 79500# on their scales. only got a warning for a marker light out. that's a good day!

I think those Eno trucks are lettered by Rick Bendi, who was mentioned in another thread about pinstriping

think I saw him southbound on 355 @ boughton this afternoon

I used to have a Fruehauf with a different air ride cutoff installed under it, sort of like tom's axle, but not nearly as nice. It can be done, just depends how bad you want it. $$$

I would buy the 2004 before I bought a 2010

if you decide not to buy the other trailer, I might be interested in it. After you look at it, let me know

somebody told me lake-cook road is still a 73280# road. we run 80000# (or a little more) so when I go that way I take Dundee over to rt 12. maybe that's why they were out with the portables today

yes the kw wrecker is all hand painted, bendi does awesome work.

jive's shop is on 171 in Lockport, but he might come to you if you have a shop. bendi is also top notch. jive did mine (see above). this black kw is all hand lettered and striped by rick bendi. now that I really look at the picture, I don't think the kw was done when I took the picture - I know there is some cool striping on the hood, but it isn't there in this pic

as far as I know, Bill "jive" Jarvis still does lettering and pinstriping. He is getting up there and it takes him a while but it's better than stickers anyday in my book. he did mine about 4 years ago. Rick Bendi still does does it too.
