here in the Memphis , Tn area we started off slow & slowly picked up over all for us Rock, sand & dirt (in my case all the above plus mulch & demolition, brush & shred steel also) not a bad year . this coming year lookin forward to be BACK OUT on MY OWN W/a CH or R Model tractor truck pulling a end dump, walking floor , lowboy & grain trailer (for a buddy of mine who farms ) & also containers during the slow part of constuction & harvest season after working for my buddies for almost 3 years (which was my granddad's foreman for 30 years in my family's excavating business) after my granddads passing & shutting the family business down after probate court made me do it (which was a 45 year old excavating co ) im ready to go back out on my own w/ my own authority AGAIN & already got the work lined up for a tractor truck Later yall

The driver that drove the truck in my avatar looked like a thin verson of Santa Clause hence it was his handle on the radio in the rock & sand pits & our truck got the name of the "RED SLIEGH" So Santa drove a 87' R Model later yall & Again Merry Chirstmas from West,TN

Ohio must have some tough bridge laws here in TN Ya are allowed up to 24.5 tons on a Tricycle & 20 tons on a tandem but they are talking bout changing our weight laws here as well as the qaud axles are finally filtering down here in my part of Tn But go to Ar or Ms they dont reconize the extra axles weight wise (15tons) but if ya have the extra axles & ya are loaded ya better use them if caught not using them loaded in AR Or MS the fine is very costly i know someone who was busted not using his in MS the fine was around $1200.00 bucks (just for not having the 3rd axle down ) later
