    Battery thieves

    Cat Haul Trucks with Bottom Dumps

    Bringing back a year-old thread. I found some more pictures, and from the unit numbers they have at least three of these units! # 610 in the previous photos, and #609 and #611 here. Anyone know who did these conversions? :eek:

    Would You Haul it ??

    Opinions on this trailer damage, please

    Sneak out there on the weekend/after hours, torch off the snout and throw it in the river. Now they will have to repair it. Oh yeah, deny everything.

    Korean truck tires

    That is a tough call. Buy cheap off-shore tires and save money, or buy American products and support an American economy.

    Kenworth with a blown turbo - how to get it home?
