Superdog Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'm sure glad we had a city dump when I was growing up,not a landfill.Never had to worry about getting run over by a bulldozer while looking for treasures. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31005-bored-at-the-landfill/#findComment-181107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
other dog Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'm sure glad we had a city dump when I was growing up,not a landfill.Never had to worry about getting run over by a bulldozer while looking for treasures.We had a dump too, some folks would go there with a .22 rifle and shoot rats. Probably can't do that any more, somebody would call in a SWAT team on you. 2 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

Terry T Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 when I ran heavy wrecker I had to go onto the mound at the area landfill several times to get refuse trucks that broke down with various issues. I was always amazed at how much that entire mound moved around! By my 3rd time on it I was use to it but it's still an odd sensation, like being stuck in traffic on the G.W.

I was always amazed at how much that entire mound moved around! By my 3rd time on it I was use to it but it's still an odd sensation, like being stuck in traffic on the G.W.When the dump body is going up, and the D8 is pushing next to you, the shaking makes you think you're low on hyd. fluidBroke down trucks get pulled off the hill and down to the front.

Maddog13407 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 seems everyone in New York state is haulin garbage with walkin floor trailers now. heard many a horror stories at the dump and bad things happening, leakin can of paint drippin on driveshaft and all over the back of the cab of a brand new Western Star, gettin stuck and they come pull you out with the dozer and hook onto whatever they can, also heard a guy ran over an old set of bedsprings and got them wrapped around the driveshaft, took him half the day to cut them off by himself, no one would help. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31005-bored-at-the-landfill/#findComment-181290 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuel tanks pulled off, dropping driveshafts.And then you get the guy that loses his hyd pump.Walking floors are lite weight, more payload.

2stacksuperdog Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 We got yelled at, at the landfill cause our '78 R-model was truck 1 and the lady said you can't have a truck 1 so he told her our '77 is 2 , '75 is 3 , '74 is 4 and '01 is 5 i guess she didn't like that must have been having a bad day.
