2stacksuperdog Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 They no longer use that. Bought a new T800 with the slope nose. Just put it in service a few months ago.

Joe D.Joe the company finally realized that they should keep our R models and started turning them into crash trucks. They were sending them to auction but never run in the winter so excellent frames and bodies.

Joe Ditchkus Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Tim I forgot about the R-Model crash trucks and tool trucks for the paving crews. Thanks for the reminder. Joe D.

6368 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 One of the few Kenworths I like is the High hood T-800. Not a KW expert here. I didn't even know they made a flat hood t800. I've seen plenty of the wide hood ones. When do they get the flat hood is it for bigger engines or something? To me that looks like a lowered c500... i like it.

Joe Ditchkus Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 There is a company in Northeastern Penna. that runs a fleet of the T-800 B's with big power Popple Construction Laflin,Pa. They also own Red Rocl Quarry and some coal strip mines. I like the look of them with the big flat hood and set back axle. Another bonus on the Popple T-800 B's they run spoke wheels.They are silver colored with about 18-19 foot I think Ti-Brook aluminum bodies Joe D.

MACKTRUCKS4 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 http://www.pioneeraggregates.com/GarageFleet.html Not sure if this are the trucks you are talking about. I haul once and a while from White Haven and these are the only trucks of theirs I see. Quote Live every day like it's your last, because one of these days, it will be.

Joe Ditchkus Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Macktrucks4 those are the newer ones that Popple has. He was still running some of the W900B with the flat hoods bringing coal down from simpson,Pa. to his breaker in Laflin,Pa. Tim I am unable to post pictures. When we get back to work in Spring I will try to get some. Maybe Macks can get some before. I think Popple is the last in my area that I know of to order trucks with spokes. Joe D.

hicrop10 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Joe,Popple hauled stone out of their Red Rock Quarry to one of our projects in the Wilkes-Barre area.Do you ever get around the LaTona crew?I know Joey LaTona quite well.

Joe Ditchkus Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Mike Latona does well pad work for the gas cdrilling companies.Pennsy Supply where I have my truck working did a lot of work for Latona and vice versa. I did do some work for Latona years back but now i stay with Pennsy, they treat me pretty good and have all the work I need so far.Northeastern Penna. is a bit different than other areas as you have to play ball.As you know Red Rock Quarry ships their material to quite a few States for landscaping material.

hicrop10 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Joe,the last time we used Pensey was when we did a project down in Linglestown PA.That whole northeast PA area of PA is quite a place to play ball in.The coal crackers as I call them(Latona,Popple,No1 Const.) and others bid jobs on a whole different scale as anyone else.

slpwlker Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I'm trying to figure out why the 5 inline on the back vs other set up. also why it is nosed on rather then backed on since all the alxe on back and back of machine is heavier. Oh the things I ponder Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38996-tilcon-t800b-low-bed/#findComment-280215 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the things I ponderI was curious also. What were his axle weights like? I don't think i' ve ever seen a group of five like that. The extra set of brakes might be nice but here in PA four close is the most i' ve seen.
