  1. Sir if you can't afford new steers please please get out of trucking its not worth your life your drivers life or fellow drivers life! That action your talking is DANGEROUS!
  2. Thanks for the detailed info! I've been driving for about 3 years had a few older Rd's and one Cl-713 "99" with the e460! I've decided after drivers abuse slow my roll and to sell all equipment and get me one newer one and put my hide in that seat for a year! Work hard and then get another newer one and find a good driver! Right now I'd like to stay in the $130k range! Also I'm really thinking of getting a Automatic with at least 405hp! I'm in Ohio so I think a steel bed would be best so if things get slow on the blacktop at least ill be ready to do anything (demo) if needed to make that payment! I've kind of been learning by trail and error being that I've had no teacher I thank God I found this website so I can learn the correct way to be successful in the dump business!
  3. Nice truck! How do they do on rust? How many trucks you have? I'm thinking on getting a 2010-12 granite just trying to decide on auto or manual have you had any autos? If so how do they hold up and how do they do on hills?
  4. Where was that video of pea gravel? And how does Allison do when your on a hill?
  5. Yes trying to find out from Mack truckers what bed is best bang for the dollar but most of all which one will hold up the longest! Getting a new truck and just trying to in vest right! It will be for a Quad or Tri axle Granite.
  6. Is there a reason why you say Rd? If so what year? I really want to get into something nice dependable and not as noisy as the older trucks!
  7. Yes I'm about ready to buy me a newer Truck looking at Mack Granite 2010-12. A Tri or Quad and was thinking about getting an Automatic and was wondering what you guys think vs a manual? I will mostly use truck for Milling, black top, dirt, and Gravel. So I will probably get a steel bed! But I'm willing to take any suggestions on truck set up (bed, tarp, tire size, rear end, suspension set up! Many thanks!

  15. I have a Cl -713 that I totaled out! Wanted to now how and wear to part truck out as parts? The bed is 20ft Aluminum and hoist works, 4 of my drives were 1 week old 4 virgin 24.5's and the other four were new recaps. It has 3 set of steerable axels on with Aluminum rims. Both rear ends are good, tranny is good (fuller 8ll), Trunnion is good it is the type you slide in between frame and bolt on. Front axel is heavy duty and still good, and I think that the engine (460 Mack e7) is still good! Just need pointed in right direction on how to list and possibly a starting price list!
  16. I run in and out a landfill hauling slag! Also when not there I do milling and dirt jobs! That landfill is hard on trucks! The truck I'm considering is a granite quad but it says heavy single axel
