BillyT Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 If you like Autocars like I do check out the 75 tandem dump in Hemmings. If the ad is honest you could haul with it tomorrow. Also the 73 kw looks driveable for 8500. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30336-autocars/page/26/#findComment-341146 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack58B42 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 PRM had a nice little fleet with quite a few of those A-Cars in it. Used to like seeing them - good looking trucks..... Here's a YouTube video that shows what appears to be a few remnants of PRM's fleet: 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/30336-autocars/page/26/#findComment-343238 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The business was relocated to Hoboken, PA and was very important to the town. Hoboken was renamed Blawnox, PA in 1918. Blaw-Knox is part of Volvo Construction Products. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

BillyT Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Any of you guys see Ann Landers column yesterday? I call it the "psychology of panhandling" all road drivers have been panhandled,because they know we carry cash and tend to be a " soft touch" tell us your most clever approach or most innovative ploy! I have had some real classics. If some of them went to that much trouble coming up with a business model they'd be millionaires!

tjc transport Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 1 hour ago, BillyT said: Wonder what the "light weight" is on that yellow Autocar? Probably requires a cdl lol i would say somewhere around 40,000 lbs. and it looks like it has 14-24 rubber on it. with "S" tags on the trailer, we go by tire rating instead of the states 80,000 lb max weight rating. my old 79 DM800 tractor with 60 ton rogers trailer weighed 78,000 empty. but because of the 12-24 tires on the tractor and 14-24 tires on the trailer i was legal for 198,000 lbs. with either the 235 cat excavator or the D8K dozer, i was running down the road around 180,000 lbs. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..
