Popular Post GreenGiant2 Posted December 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2013 I have been hauling on a job that is all off road and had to be done when it is frozen, not easy to get the dirt out of the body at 10 degrees. 112 loads in the last week. can do 6 loads an hour. maybe when iam rich I can buy a real haul truck and not beat up my dump. 6 Quote We the unwilling, Lead by the unqualified, are doing the impossible, for the ungrateful.

Joe Ditchkus Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 GG2 I did not realize you were chief cook and bottlewasher. I do not care for most site work usually too many loads on bad haul roads. Although last hourly job ( Site) was a sewer job a little messy but only 1 load of 1 ton in 6 hours. Joe D.

gearhead204 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 have any of you guys tried the poly bed liners? as long as your not hauling large shot rock or digging a load of 1/2 cured asphalt with fly ash in it with tiger teeth, they worked great for us. We had about 10 tnt rigs using them in both boxes Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33944-my-off-road-haul-truck/#findComment-222383 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmolitor Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I have a liner in my aluminum box. I also haul whatever will fit. The liner is 6 years old and looks like new. If you get one, get the 1/2 or 3/8 asphalt liner.
