Mass>> 55,000 on 10 and 77,000 on a tri of course there isn't a bridge left in the state that does not need repair. We re-sleeved a mack about three years ago to the back of the cab. The frame gave up again about a month ago stripped the frame again re-sleeved it again to the back of the cab. However the trucks get left out on jobsites where they are usually thought to be a sister ship of a 769.I vote black.
States have different weight regulations when it comes to straight trucks, in our area for instance trucks in Massachusetts running 1200x24 rubber on 58 rears and 20 fronts can gross around 80k on a 10 wheeler, in nh we wouldnt get away with that without a tag axle.
And that truck in mass will be a Mack 300 hp 6speed
I really dislike 24 ton boxes they are a pain to spread with in anything less then optimal conditions, they beat the day lights out of the truck. we have one that is older and triple framed and the rail flanges are opening like tulips it will be another victim for the frame guys soon. However hauling giant loads is a New England thing. Beat the beejeebus out of the highway, the truck and the jobsite grade. Cut about 2 feet out of that box put a 3x8 side board up there and the truck will last forever hauling 14 to 16 yds
