purepressure2004 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Marquardt, There's a name I have not heard in years. They hauled a lot of dry cement for Seneco along with fuel.They had a nice Brockway fleet back then. They're mostly Mack now with the exception of a couple Pete's. They still do alot of cement for Tilcon Ct. Gas seems to be they're bread and butter now though. 1 Quote Mack and OshKosh enthusiest in central CT Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/15/#findComment-164754 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually only use it with the lowboy but use it with dump trailer if really busy. I have been meaning to get a picture of it since my dad works down there all the time. They have a couple old macks hiding in the garage too.

That truck looks better then his newer stuff, they do a good job keeping that truck nice. About a year ago I saw it hauling a D8 sized dozer up 91.

2stacksuperdog Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Those trucks still around?The DM800 is still sitting at their garage in New Britain. When we were hauling out of there a couple years ago it was hooked up to one of the KW tri-axles. 2 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/15/#findComment-164880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
purepressure2004 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Those trucks still around?I haven't seen the 81 around New Britain or Newington (where they keep all they're road equipment). Most of the traffic trucks are ex-Balf tractors, older KW's and Internationals. I was told a couple months ago that Tilcon is starting to unload alot of trucks and equipment. I know for fact that they're only running 30-35 mixers statewide. They used to run over twenty out of New Britain and at least 25 out of Granby. When they get busy they rent out trucks from other union companies like Suzio and O and G if they're not busy. Something is up because they're cleaning house.

They got kinda busy late last summer and fall, but I guess not busy enough to warrent hiring guys. Although, my buddy that worked in Saybrook told me two weeks ago that they shut the plant down, and they where shuffled into the senority list in Norwich. Saybrook was always a money making plant.

james j neiweem Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Marquardt? Trucks are located in Waterford CT. The owner runs a 2 stack Mack CH. They are about an equal mix of Petes and Macks. There latest purchase as far as I know was a W-900. Are there any Tilcon photos of their V-8 DM 800's and their DM 600's (the high cabs) I still see some from time to time as they were all purchased by local second hand contractors. They had a V-8 at the wallin ford quarry a while back. Saw one of their high DM's on Ct 372 a while back.
