Popular Post keg1 Posted August 22, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2014 Started new job yesterday pulling dump trailer. Signed on with company in New york , they sent me to Niagara Falls to load and on my way back a local Hamburg cop pulled me over and told me I must be awful heavy or there was something wrong with my truck I had black smoke blowing everywhere when I took off. Felt like telling him pretty cool ain't it but I don't think he had a sense of humor.He called in a DOT cop and he had to go over it. Wanted to know what was wrong with it why it smoked and if it was running ok. I told nothing wrong and it runs real good. I had just taped my signs on drivers door till I got home and the prick wrote me a ticket because I didn't have one on other door. It had rained and was dirty so I wanted to clean them up first. It's all about the money. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 My B isn't quite so bad, but you can get it to huff if you swat the pedal. Granted, mine has two stacks so it kinda thins it out between the two.Think back a few years with all the 237 and 285 powered dumps were running. They would darken the road when they took off with a load. Many dumps had weedburner exhausts to boot. Pretty sure that is a big NO NO these days. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large...................... Charter member of the "MACK PACK" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACKS Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Smoke tickets in NY are a real pain in the butt,dec makes you get the truck re inspected and proof that the problem was fixed plus you pay a nice fine after a day in court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
