2stacksuperdog Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hey saw an O&G foreman pick up truck surveying a road on LI about 30 minutes outside NYC today. I have never seen them down here working on any projects.they did a big job at LAX airport in CA. Trying to be construction managers but they have been doing a lot of work in New York over the CT border. Gotta go where the work is I suppose. 2 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/66/#findComment-273567 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wobblin-Goblin Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Guys, why is CT so freaking backwards when it comes to registering 10 wheelers vs. tri-axles? I've been doing a little research on it, and it looks like you can't register a 10 wheeler commercially and still haul anything in the body except feathers, leaves, and empty water bottles.In order to carry anything of substance, CT forces you to go with a tri-axle. It just doesn't make sense. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25325-connecticut-construction-trucks/page/66/#findComment-276214 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mattb73lt Posted February 3, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) The state of CT recently put this R model on the road. Sharp truck. A lot nicer then the new freightshakers and internationals they have.DSCN1140.JPGThat truck was assigned to Emergency Services with the State Police. We used it to haul a bomb trailer and a self contained shooting range for Corrections around the state to various locations. I was assigned on numerous occations to move the trailer around as no one could drive it. Trailer was a two lane shooting house that was all armored up and I believe it weighed around 60K #'s +, HEAVY!!. It was painful trying to teach people how to drive it, I would have fired them if it was my truck. I was told the state bought it used as a Hertz lease truck, painted it blue from white. Wasn't used a great deal by ESU and looks like it went to State Surplus before DOT. And a better home, DOT takes pretty good care of their equipment.

Green Dash Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I know I've said this before but the axle forward CH/Pinnacles have a family resemblance to the R and B models that stands out when the truck is in one of the classic colors.
