Popular Post PeterMack Posted October 31, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2014 Over the summer I have seen a few R-models that belonged to Packard Excavating from Rockford. They have aCL700 also and I thought I took a picture of it but I could not find it. I saw these three trucks in three different places. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackman1965 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Question for the Chicago guys how much are you allowed to carry in those dump trailers? The bodies seem small compared to the dump trailers here on LI and NYC. The tri-axle T-800 I drive is good for 80,000 with the permits . Most paving companies want you to carry at least 24 tons on a tri axle and 38-40 tons on a flowboy . Just wondering how things are done out there Quote Local 282 Union Service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody454 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 72000. that's gross. anywhere from 19 to 24 tons depending on empty weight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackey58 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 The mixers here run 4 axle straight trucks need to get rid of the bridge law the bridges suck anyways and the container trucks get to run overweight grain containers with a permit and a flashing yellow light 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMack Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Spent most of last week hauling stone into to new part of the Waste Management Dekalb Co landfill. Saw two Western Sand & Gravel RD's and one Granite. Saw a WM RD with a walking floor, an RD rolloff, and a Graniterolloff along with an MR concrete pumper. They almost have the new cell liner in also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackman1965 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Triaxle straight jobs? Better off with trailer dumps.Why is that ? You can get 80,000 legal on the tri axle and there are spots that don't want trailers and other spots you can't get trailers into . Different applications for different situations. My boss has been successful in this industry in NYC for 50 years running 30 or more trucks half trailer half triaxle . Having trailers, triaxles and flowboys will also cover you in all hire applications. Quote Local 282 Union Service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Those western trucks were hauling from ozinga-Hampshire last week.They have been using a few different guys. Western has a place down in Ottawa and another out on 52 just east of 39.I have also seen Princeton Redi-mix up here a few times. They have to be almost 2 hours from home. Not sure if theyare getting put up in hotels or making the commute every day. Gotta wonder if Ozinga is just that busy or if they don'thave enough drivers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterMack Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 I know before the buyout,Ozinga would call MEYER for trucks on a busy day!Well, they solved that problem buy purchasing them. Maybe they are giving Western and Princeton a test run before they buy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
