rhasler Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Saw one of these a few days ago but had no idea there were this many of them running around here.I also saw some more Freightliners, oddly enough thee were stacked the way I'm used to seeing trucks transported. The odd thing is that the Coronado is on the back and the lead truck is a Business class (?) chassis. Quote "Mebbe I'm too ugly and stupid to give up!"

RowdyRebel Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Saw one of these a few days ago but had no idea there were this many of them running around here.80,000# GVWR straight dumps....only one I've seen was in Missouri, and seemed like a pretty sweet set-up. It can haul more than a T/T due to a slightly lower tare weight, and go wherever a straight dump can go when it gets to the jobsite. If they were legal in Illinois, it'd be the way to go if you were running dumps hauling rock, asphalt, or anything else that grosses out before it cubes out...however 'round here, you get 34K on the tandems, 20K on the steer, and that rear drop axle is good for another 12K....don't get any credit for the lift axles in front of the drives, so that's just extra weight you're carrying around. If you are hauling lighter weight stuff like coal, though, you need the space you can only get with a T/T.
