james j neiweem Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 (edited) That B looks like it may have a fiber glass tilt hood. There doesn't appear to be a fender seem. Also note the hood lock. Merry Christmas to all.

PeterMack Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 The story I got on this Scumset truck was that his trailer got tipped, he hooked back up, and then drove off the tipper over a pile of dirt and got hung up on it. The landfill would not pull him off because they did not want to be responsible for any damage so they had to get a wrecker to lift him off.
