be careful what you wish for.

Buddy of mine was running straight stacks. Got a nice DOT inspection at the scalehouse...all good

As he was leaving, Highway patrol pulled him over and wrote him up for "modification of exhaust"

And the DOT inspector just shrugged his shoulders

Pa is pretty lax about it. Just about every tri axle is straight piped

Looking for some help guys, trying to figure out the best way to straight pipe the 2004 CV713 I run, just has the muffler outside the cab, looks like the one underneath the cab was already deleted.

Has anyone done this? What exactly do I need? No I'm not putting a heat shield back on, just looking for a cheap way to make some noise. Yes I'm young and like the noise

Thanks for any suggestions!

Where do you guys run at? I'm in a hired plow for PennDOT right outside of Philly. Working the nightmare between 9th and the Boulevard and the Girard exit of 76. Going on 17 hours.

I'm out of Lehigh county, I couldn't imagine doing anywhere in Philadelphia. I'm gonna buy a rig and sub contract for the state next year instead of working here lol

Both companies I work for... Mostly..

S&G asphalt is a fleet of 6 Mack's. 2 granites 4 rds

PennDOT is mainly Mack except for a few new internationals (which are nothing problems)

Problem is the dot trucks don't have much power, they are stock 375-425s In the granites and the e7 350s in the older RDs (I will be buying one at auction these year)

They are all run live PTO so that cuts down on fuel mileage and cuts horsepower a good 30hp

Sen them in use . They look like the can move a lot of snow quickly...the ones I saw in use had follow cars to keep idiots from trying to pass them....

We don't have them in Lehigh county, nor do we want them.

Hey guys, just in from a 12 hr shift. They are calling 4-6"

Tomorrow , so hopefully will have better pics with more snow it

Picture of new 2013 Granite purchase by PennDOT with MP8 and Allison Transmission. Hope to get better and more pictures soon. {style_image_url}/attachicon.gif photo.JPG

They are putting the brine tanks between the body and cab like they new internationals. Makes sense. Suprising it's automatic, word was we were going back to manual Mack's with the new contract

Looks like ill be missing it to work my mack. The plants are gonna be open Saturday so ill be hauling blacktop. I'd go Sunday but everyone's usually long gone except for the locals

Yeah Sunday I start checking the weather from LVI airport to see what it will look like on Saturday..Cant wait to get back home for the weekend..

Hurricane remnants gonna slam this area Friday through ssaturday morning. Gonna send a lot of people home. The shows gonna be a wash

What brand is it? Where did you get it?

Not to sound stupid but I'm still learning the ins and outs of dump trucking. What is this switch used for?

next winter try to have a video of the snow comming out the plow

I'd have some to share, I took a lot, but my old phone fell in the snow and took a shit on me. Lost some 1500 pictures. Next winter I will for sure. I can't go crazy posting because you can get in some trouble for using the phone whe driving. Especially working for the government. Lol

nice truck , must be pretty hard & perillous job plowing snow

It is, hills and curves suck, especially with a single axle truck, they slide like crazy. I love seeing snow fly off the plow. Awesome sight lol

What's that on the ground, is that the foam they spray when planes crash?

PennDOT throws that stuff down and scrapes it back up as a way of enhancing pothole development. This practice ensures job security in the warmer months.

The pretreatment? It's salt water

There's no hooters within an hour of the show lol

No, but there IS a Tilted Kilt in Allentown, literally 5 minutes from the Museum!!!

Yeah on Lehigh street right off the 78 exit

Always wanted to become a owner operator out here in nyc but scared to buy a truck and cant find the work. Looking to get into the rri axle dump game any feedback will be appreciated

I'm looking at the same thing. Allentown pa region. People always talk me down. But go for it! You can run NY and NEPA. money IS there. Get a cheaper truck. Steel body and a triaxle are what company's are looking for. Going rate is $75 an hour. 7 working months and that's right around 100k gross. Take out a truck payment, insurance, taxes, fuel, Maintenance and your at 40-50k net. Call big hauling companies, they are always looking for subs. Most require 3 years experience in hauling and or paving. Mostly paid once per month. So have some $$$ before hand while waiting for that first check.

Awesome shots as always Ryan!

Here are two Granites I shot last week.

PennDOT CV713 tri-axle

Rockland Township GU813

A granite fan!! A drive for PennDOT in the winter. 07 Granite

Could always try for a BMT convoy to Hooters!

There's no hooters within an hour of the show lol

Ill be there. Live 10 mins away
