Nice to hear about a big collection of Macks.Love the Superliner I in the weeds and them DM's and R's. Ugliest color ive ever seen.Vinny, that color is what you call driving under wash bins and dumping in piles and bins and the crusher dust color.....only a Mack could pull that color off.

Well since we are all one big Old Castle family, Watch that Child has been put on many of Pikes trucks.What a large Bibeau body on the RFor paving these bodies were put on and now the state of Vermont requires for any of their jobs sliding tarps that hold in the heat better. Very costly and the owner operators had a big coin to swallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james j neiweem Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Up near Brandon Vermont there are lots of Mack tractors with dump trailers hauling feldspar or something similar. Mostly CH's and a few paccars. Different companies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most hired trucks have them but no company trucks.Up near Brandon Vermont there are lots of Mack tractors with dump trailers hauling feldspar or something similar. Mostly CH's and a few paccars. Different companies James I see a lot of out of state dump trailers headed to the land fill with pelleted human waste from Mass. and Conn. They mix it in with the garbage and makes methane to run the generators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFCDrum Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 They run that composted human waste right out of Hillburn here. Getting behind one of the dump trailers is an alarming and wretched experience. Cheers, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting behind one of the dump trailers is an alarming and wretched experience. Cheers, RobThe guys that work at the land fill eat their lunch and push the pellets and garbage no problem. I guess you get used to anything! Here is a picture of Sonny Sloans Superliner V8 twelve speed that was once Pizzagalli's and survived being in a flood in their yard in Montgomery, Vermont. I believe it was a low bed tractor to begin with 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Green Dash Posted March 16, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2013 This topic was a great idea Tim. I was looking for a place to dump all those surplus "Likes" that I've accumulated.Way to go...... 3 Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcity Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 The other day, one truck pulled over to undo the turnbuckles. Tailgate had come undone and a pile started forming at the back of his truck. I swung the boom over and whacked the tailgate so he could get the turnbuckle back on. Then loaded his "stuff" into his trailer. haven't seen one roll over yet, but with some of those drivers (Miami) it won't be long. Some use frameless trailers, some do not Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
