rsb502 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 What's that on the ground, is that the foam they spray when planes crash? 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31204-penndot-rigsplows/#findComment-183968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Dash Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Welcome! I've always been impressed with how nice PennDOT and the PA Turnpike keep their equipment considering the work they perform, especially in the winter.

Green Dash Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 What's that on the ground, is that the foam they spray when planes crash? PennDOT throws that stuff down and scrapes it back up as a way of enhancing pothole development. This practice ensures job security in the warmer months. 2 Quote Jim Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31204-penndot-rigsplows/#findComment-183981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Moody Jr Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Ok I try to reply to this post. I do not known what went wrong but this my fourth time. We were told that Mack got contract for tandem with automatic and tri-axle. International got single axle and tandem with manual transmission.

Popular Post granitefan713 Posted November 1, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2013 I found three of the tri-axles at J&J this summer. As vcheck said, they have Allison autos. 6 Quote http://www.flickr.com/photos/granitefan713/-Dave Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31204-penndot-rigsplows/#findComment-214365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Moody Jr Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Granite Fan 713 Great pictures on tri-axles. Normal Penn DOT purchase couple hundreds of trucks every year. They have policy to keep a dump truck for 12 years and after that auction they off. Bulk of truck order every year is single axle basic a class 7/ baby class 8. Will love to see Mack get the order for those single axle trucks. A great way to promote Mack Granite MHD model 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31204-penndot-rigsplows/#findComment-214494 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 NYS Dot has pretty much gone to all Macks for plow trucks also. state bid and a lot of towns have them also from state bid. some are 2-3 years off and make me cringe, look like they never get washed.
