Popular Post PeterMack Posted September 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2014 Went to the Dekalb County landfill today. They are adding a new cell and I brought in some gravel to the new part. Luckily enough I did not have to drive over any trash. While I was there I saw a WM RD, a few MBI trucks lined upfor the tipper, the Bob Kyler Value Liner hauling in some wrecking and then about an hour later he was next to meat the pit picking up some gravel. Also saw the Kyler R model at the pit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mackdaddy2030 Posted September 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2014 Ok, I had a lot of cool stuff to take pictures of today. Though I have to get better at taking pictures while driving.1st one is Don Taylor Excavating R model 6 wheeler. I was getting loaded under the silo while he drove by.2nd one is Snake with his '80 R model with the T800 grill. And no, there isn't anything wrong with the back of his trailer. That's just a bug on my windshield3rd one I think was a Christiansen RD pulling flat bed. I couldn't read the name.4th was a Superdog that was hauling into Curran today. Never seen it before and don't remember what it said on the door. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upsman Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Yes that was a Christensen truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 2030I think the sideways pictures are because you are taking them with a phone??? And I do Not know hoe to correct it other than sending them toy your base puter and then rotating them?? Maybe some one more savvy than I can help you??

PeterMack Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 4th was a Superdog that was hauling into Curran today. Never seen it before and don't remember what it said on the door.I saw that truck also yesterday. They were coming from Fox River Stone out to Dekalb. Lafarge must have been giving Curran a good priceor Vulcan pissed them off. One of the two. Vulcan's saleman for Sycamore, Dekalb, Lisbon, just quit the other day so maybe that hadsomething to do with it.So was leaving the texaco dump in Lockport at 2nd av and state or 171 whatever you want to call the main street at 10:30 10:45 and I think I saw petermack with a load of pipe on headin up to archer may I was wrong was in my trusty granite 6 wheelerNah, was not me. I've been hooked to the dump trailer all summer. In a month I will probably have the Landoll on moving some stuff but until thenit will be the dump wagon. If it is the guy I'm thinking of that Storkmack mentioned its a 80's 359 all red with a silver frame that is kept immaculate.Very sharp old truck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post PeterMack Posted September 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2014 I saw one of the Stark trucks delivering some block to the Huntley high school the other day for their new field house. Damn kids have goteverything at that school now. Huge track, tennis courts, nice ball fields and bleachers and now a field house. When I went there I didn't haveany of that crap. They were still called the Redskins and nobody was offended, Dean Foods would donate all their old pallets for a hugebonfire at homecoming, and the 4H kids would drive the tractors to school. I remember jogging in gym class to Bon Jovi on a 45 record.All this was not that long ago. Plus I walked uphill both ways to school with a hot potato to keep my hands warm and I had to eat it forlunch, and dammit that's the way we liked it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy all the different variations there are and they use all different types of aggregate to make them. And I know DeKalb's chips were not passing inspection. I don't think we have hauled any chips out of Dekalb since Vulcan took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackdaddy2030 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Saw some Starks pulling dump wagons on Peace today. I'm assuming they were hauling into Curran. Though I didn't get to see much action that was going on at the plant. I was in Waterman following the patch crew. 5hrs for one load. LolAnd idk why the pictures are posting sideways.I even tried rotating them to compensate for it and it posts them the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
