Tuffguy707 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hey everyone, my name is Tony and I have grown up with Mack trucks my entire life. In fact I learned to drive in an 82 R686 tandem dump truck with a duplex transmission when I was 14 years old. I worked at my family construction company and we had all Macks but one truck. I am a heavy equipment operator by trade and I am thinking of starting my own excavating company. My plans are to buy a Titan because I think they are the nicest looking trucks on the road and I plan on getting a Talbert or Etnyer lowboy trailer to move my equipment with. I want to start out with the Titan/lowboy combo with a 314 or 308 Cat excavator and a D4 or 5 dozer and gradually move up as i grown although I do not plan on getting really big but I'd like to have two or three trucks, two Mack Granite Dumps and the Titan lowboy. Anyhow I thought I would introduce myself on here and I'm excited to be on here. I am a member on a Cummins forum as well as my other love is Ram/Cummins pickup trucks as my personal truck is a 2013 Ram 3500 CTD. 1 Quote Tony Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40574-new-guy-from-ohio/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuffguy707 Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Oh and my username/handle was given to me by my uncle..sort of. We had a roll- off company and my uncle thought it would be a good idea to write "The tough guys of trash removal" on the back of the cab and every time I drove one of the trucks everyone would call me tough guy there for the name stuck.

james j neiweem Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Welcome aboard. Now the straight talk. Unless you have a boat load of money I can't see how you will make it if you buyall of this equipment new such as a Titan. You can get used equipment in good shape for 1/4 to 1/2 the price. Ease on in to it andget the business profitable. There is a lot of competition out there with older equipment(less overhead). Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/40574-new-guy-from-ohio/#findComment-295183 Share on other sites More sharing options...
