DailyDiesel Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Highly doubt this is an original NY truck based on those axles and pusher Quote www.dailydieseldose.com Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34541-new-york-macks-2/page/21/#findComment-331144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Highly doubt this is an original NY truck based on those axles and pusher Seen that axle arrangement upstate NY a lot. Don't ask me to explain their weight laws but I know guys that run a standard tri-axle in PA 73,280 gvw get busted down to 58,000 gvw if they cross into NY Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34541-new-york-macks-2/page/21/#findComment-331206 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the same 20' wheelbase tri-axle in NJ is legal for 80,000 gvw. Go figure. Not enough brakes to stop 40 tons IMHO, assuming the lift axle will bounce and lock up in a panic stop anyway.

Unfortunately, for every responsible sensible operator like yourself, there are 10 dumbasses out there who don't get the proper permits or know how to set the air pressure on their lift axles. The laws are basically idiot-proof to protect us from the idiots LOL. We have a local problem here in East Bangor with tri axles running into the Quarry with waste material from New Jersey and New York City... running overweight dodging the scales and wreaking havoc at every turn. Mostly immigrant operators working for chump change... I guess you get what you pay for.

41chevy Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 New York bridge law for 54,000 is for what they class as a divisible load (sand, gravel etc) and the law is different for a non divisible load (container, large freight etc) Basically the 54,000 limit is to get you to buy a permit, has zero to do with anything but money, same as the NYHUT $$$$ Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34541-new-york-macks-2/page/21/#findComment-331345 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc transport Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 i remember back in 88 before the bottom fell out of trucking we were getting $55 per hour for tandem dumps. then the immigrants came here and started buying deathtraps out of junkyards and working for $20-25 per hour. it took close to 20 years to get the price back up to livable rates. even now it is hard to get $85 per hour for a triaxle. and everyone wants new trucks on the job, but do not want to pay for them. how do they expect you to afford a new $200K+ truck when they only want to pay $75 per hour? 2 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Popular Post 41chevy Posted April 24, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 24, 2016 I lost a contract with the Cross Sound Ferry co. after Sandy because my equipment was "old" the guy that got the contract spent most of his time at the dealer with computer problems from the flooding. I got the job through default at a 40% increase.

mackey58 Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Yea when it went to shit in 08 and all the companies dumped the company drivers and hired the immigrants .the big quarries ran these clowns for next to nothing while the good 0/0 went out of business. Then the immigrants started hauling over size concrete panels and can't drive with legal loads then go to oversize the co I work for had one stone hauler back into.the same ditch twice as I was dumping and I told my boss you get what you pay for Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34541-new-york-macks-2/page/21/#findComment-331428 Share on other sites More sharing options...

navypoppop Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Anybody here on NY Macks remember seeing any HERMS Trucking trucks in and around the NYC area back in the 1960's-1970's? I used to work for them and we did a lot of nursery stock [trees] to NYC and New England areas. I delivered many full grown trees that were about 50' tall to the World Trade Center back in the beginning . Just looking to remember the old days and thanks for any pics too.
