    Fill Sites

    After reading the thread on fuel prices, I was wondering what everyone pays for dump fees at fill sites? It’s getting harder to find fill site around here because of all the new development. Average price is $90 per box organic soil and up to $150 per box for blue clay. Structural fill or...

    Tandem gravel pup

    In BC the permit is $300 per year. The reason for de-certifying these trailers is because of rollover accidents with Tag trailers carrying wide loads. This is the reg. http://www.qp.gov.bc.ca/statreg/reg/C/CommerTrans/30_78/30_78.htm#section7.07

    Hoepac question

    It all depends on the backfill material. Getting 95 should be no problem with a hoe pac and the right material. I would be careful about using native material for backfill. Any job I have done the engineer has required random testing of the backfill when using native fill. Most contractors...

    Old Dozer Found Buried

    We have a whole park built around a Komatsu dozer that got sunk in the peat bog. There’s a boardwalk through the bog leading to the dozer, all you can see is 2’ of the ROPS sticking up from the bog. Story is that when the Alex Fraser Bridge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Fraser_Bridge)...

    Trip permit question

    I bought 2 trailers in Texas and I plan on driving to pick them after visiting the construction expo next week in Vegas. My question is do I need trip permits for each state if I have a USDOT number registered as “private carrier”? I have a CDL, the truck is less than 10,000 lbs and the trailer...

    Gooseneck or Dropdeck?

    I bought a 05 Chev 5500 that was setup for pulling a 3 car trailer. My question is, anyone know of a trailer manufacture that sells smaller drop deck trailers with electric brakes as standard equipment?

    Who will go to Conexpo 2008?

    Burnout, driving from Edmonton must be at least 30 hrs each way? I went to the passport office today, should have one in less than 3 weeks. If you’re flexible on travel times westjet has seat sales for $300 return. Who’s planning this HEF meeting in Vegas?

    Need (some) advice

    Ron, I would check the nitrogen pressure before using that breaker. If the nitrogen is low it can damage the carrier machine. I blew the hydraulic filter apart on my S185 while using a rented breaker that was low on nitrogen. It had the same problem you are describing with the blows from the...

    Stone Slinger Trucks

    Dirthauler, were you placing rock or cement with that telebelt truck? I read on the website you can modify the conveyer to run in reverse to bring material out to the truck, which would be slick for digging basements in heritage buildings.

    which 33k truck for hooklift 6.7 or MBE900

    I don’t know much about running a disposal company but when you hear about the price wars with front end disposal container business I wouldn’t want to be competing. The reason I would go with the 40yd bins is because, on bigger sites they will have 2 or 3 containers which are emptied every...

    I haven’t seen a truck like that before! How would they clean the conveyer belting after delivering cement?

    Large Flat Lawn area Drainage

    If you don’t have anywhere to drain a gravity system to you could install a plastic septic tank with a sump pump, kind of like a reverse septic felid. I have installed surface drainage like that before and it worked great.

    Stone Slinger Trucks

    I was wondering how popular stone slinger trucks are becoming in other areas. It is amazing how fast and accurate the new slingers are, with a tri drive truck it can deliver 19 tonnes compared to 14 for a regular tandem dump truck. For anyone who hasn’t seen a slinger truck this is a good...
