  1. Were getting 4"-6" from tommorow night to Friday morn
  2. Yeah i would of liked it to be like Wishes on Wheels convoy but still sounds cool
  3. I forgot who owned it and it looked like a MA truck so i guess its a CT Construction Truck instead.
  4. I'm assuming they dont use it that much during the winter
  5. Tilcon has the new RDs Soneco bought before they went out
  6. CT has weird laws compared to states around us. You can get permits on 4 axle vehicles and up, On a tri-axle your only good for 67,400 without a construction material but with your good for 73,000 and with the permit 76,500. Then you have salt, it is on the allowed permitted materials but on the ticket it says ice control so they knock you back to 67,400. Then they have a 2 page list of restricted bridges you cant go over with a permit. Then you got trailer dumps which thery use the bridge law. You would think that since the minimum weight of a construction material on a tri-axle in 73,000 that would be the min on a trailer dump but no they knock you back as far as they can go. Its all for the money how does paying for a piece of paper make the bridge any safer?
  7. Volvo discontinued mack gliders. Seems to be a big mistake to me considering Freightliner and Western star sell a lot of them
  8. Didn't they cut the weights back after the bridge collapse in Minnesota? My dad was talking to a guy from NY at King of Covers and he was telling us that
  9. I see a little red express around town in the summer all the time
  10. Our FD is getting a new Spartan? truck. Replacing our rescue and hazmat at a tune of $400K
  11. There was a bunch of trucks stolen around here about 8 or 9 yrs ago
  12. Well since it came from the factory green i would go with green.
  13. Looks in real good shape for her age. No missing fenders yet.
  14. What type oil do you run? use Rotella 30 it held up our truck with 276,000mi also sounds like a little too much either at one time or another due to blowby and glowplugs not working
  15. A guy \ told us they don't like U/Dms over there because they have pride now and that they have to be tandems not triaxles.
  16. 6 speed right? if so for low and direct
  17. We were up there probably 5 or 6 yrs ago looking at a superliner and stopped by there yard and there were a bunch of old DM mixer and R-models i know when you go up that way you see a lot of turquoise R-model trailer dumps.
  18. Does Cardi still have the yard full of old trucks up there?
