yarnall Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'm not a truck driver but drove on of those articulating dump trucks at a landfill two summers. I laid the bed over like that when I got the right rear tires off the road. It stopped me dead. It didn't do any damage except tearing a couple wire. They set it back up with an excavator and I was back on my way. Apparently it is common because they called it 'joining the club'.

57 bcr Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I used to see a couple of those Marina trucks follow street sweepers and city crews around. I think the owner(s) got busted in that "Operation Silver Shovel" a few years ago. Al Quote IF YOU BOUGHT IT, A TRUCK BROUGHT IT..AND WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH IT, A TRUCK WILL HAUL IT AWAY!!!

Al Big surprise there most of those outfits ie palumbo in the "buddies" club with the Chicago unions and politicians end up in prision or slapped on the hand somehow for screwing the tax payers out of millions.

BillyT Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Keg I, Team is the outfit I was thinking of! My co driver drove for them! I used to haul US Mail out of the bulk mail center at exit 3, Do you remember Waite Inc or Joy Don Transport? That load of scrap in the Rossi dump would almost certainly get stuck in the tailgate! The load of untarped twigs and branches is a " load seepage" fine looking for a place to happen!

The stacks are turned. put down or covered so the incoming air will not pinwheel the turbo, and it than will fail from no oil.
