I've never seen a truck with 4 drop axles before.

Those trucks are all over the place in Ohio. Their a real pain in the rear. They dont turn worth a darn. They drag those lifts through some real rough stuff when their off road. They also dont haul much. If I remember correctly you cant get much more than 25 tons on these trucks. A huge difference from Michigan where you can run your truck at 164,000 lbs.

Hey Hawk-con.
Check post #11.
I explained it there, it has to do with last axle outside the filling and tipping.

here are a few more for ya

Did they ever get that truck out of the water?

I'd like to know how the driver flipped the cab without flipping the box. that takes skills.

That's the driver eject feature for those that don't waer their safety belt.

You guys sure those ADT's aren't using some advanced side dumping mechanism? :D :lmao :naughty
