Its funny how Jersey is good with 70,000 on 3 axles but in PA you need 4.

for the roads yes. but bridge laws are different. 

technically tandems are only allowed 34,000 on bridges. but no one enforces it.

Doesn't a "Constructor" Code 41 registration get you around that? 

[tjc transport]

NJ code 41 restrictions:

Vehicles cannot operate on a highway at a speed greater than 45 miles per hour when carrying a load under 50 percent of the registered gross weight. Vehicle cannot exceed 30 miles (air mile radius) when carrying a load over 50 percent of the registered gross weight.

 

 i do not know of anyone still running code 41 plates. last person i knew with 41 plates dropped them around 25 years ago when he repowered his 69 8 DM800 with an electronic 400, 8LL trans,, and 4.56 gears.

Yeah I guess those restrictions are kind of hard to live with in 2024. You know they were hauling clean dirt from excavation jobs in NNJ all the way here and dumping it in an old strippinng hole. They told me it was cheaper to haul it here than to follow all the regs to dump it in Jersey. And I'm talking massive amounts. Sometimes trucks lined up 1/4 mile up the street and running 24/7. Paying 25 a ton to dump

yup, the noth joisey boys working for 25$ per load pay to the driver.. 

and those trucks run 24-7-365 too. buy the cheapest pos they can find and flip them every 6-7 months. if they last that long. 

those are the same crews responsible for insurance rates going through the roof because they flip at least one over a day here.

not counting all the wrecks where they dont flip over.

He might be a little off on the rate. If you saw some of that operation in action though ?  Lots of those guys were going in there grossing close to 100K on a triaxle.

At one point those trucks didn't stop. IDK if it was all one driver or what. That place in the picture was quite the place too ( one of my trucks was on the 6 o'clock news there in the begining ) (lol)  Then when they started bringing in the dirt, it was pretty much what's in the pictures more than a couple times.  If I remember right, one ran into a school bus in NJ. It was a T800 and the engine was out of it and it still weighed 94000 pounds. It was quite the three ring circus.

[Joey Mack]

those guys work 12 hours a day for between 200 and 250 per day CASH.

and they have to do at least 8 loads per day. 

their replacement drivers usually meet them where they load at and switch, then old guys get in the van and brought back to the truck yard.

the $25 per load was a joke. but 15 years ago some of the port rats were doing loads for $25 per load.

no overhead except for fuel. most of the trucks were deathtraps that were bought out of junkyards and slapped on the road. paper license plates, no insurance, marginal brakes, only one headlight, most of the time no blinkers or brake lights, half of the fiberglass nose flapping in the breeze driving down the road. 

if they were in a wreck, they would bail and run away. 

[Joey Mack]

Those trucks sound like the ones i saw in Laredo TX. 18 years ago.. The drivers, for sure..

[Joseph Cummings]

Yeahl. Right after Covid they started running in there hot and heavy again for over a year, maybe two. Only difference was it was Pa trucks, and only during the day. They started doing site work. blasting, dynamic compaction, they even had this thing working over there with it's 7 yard bucket
