Tri axle dump truck

Seeet ride. Although black is impossible to keep clean, especially in the dirt. Hope you have access to a wash bay. Best of luck!!!

 

Where's the polished aluminum dump box?

 

I agree with Northern Mechanic, needs a polished box on the back. Lol

 

Hey Mac,
How about an update? How's the Star working for you? How are the rates? (Per hour or day)
And - I hope you making $$$!

 

The 2 trucks running this winter. Do they have air or springs on the rears? Looking at at T800 now, it has the AG100 under it. 1998 model truck with only 206,000 miles on it. But has a M 11 and 10 speed. And only a tandem axle.
Has room for a lift axle, so could be turned into a Tri-Axle . Just move the oil tank. And add the lift axle Going to look at it in person this week. Does look like a clean truck. And looks to be a single frame truck. Bed has been used hard, but that can be taken care of.
Concern is the AG100 suspension? Not sure how well it does in a dump truck? It looks to have the 20,000 lb steer axle. Or the big floats up front. Will look and see if it has a true 20,000 steer.

 

Some (but not all) M11’s were low in the horsepower and torque ratings. Do you know the rating on this one? We always grossed out @ 80k+, in our Tri-axles, and ours were all heavy specs. 20 with floats, 20 pushers, 46 rears on air.

 

330HP Not sure on the Torque. Its also a single a single frame truck. Looked at it today, and 8.5ft between cab and front tandem. so plenty of room for a third axle.
16ft bed with remote oil tank. Also Its odd has the cab like my 1995 T600. Or the wedge top and extended rear on the cab. Has the three glass's on the back. Big center and 2 rounded side glass's. There right behind the seats.. First tough was daycab kit. But looking under it and inside. Looks factory, and found one more Guy told me he bought new. With extra room behind the seats.
I hauled thousands of loads with a 330 HP Big cam cummins. And it had a 10 speed also. It was a 9300 Eagle factory tri axle dump. Was not the fastest, but did the job.

Forgot it has 46's in the rear. And locker switch on the dash. We can gross 740000 here with a tri-Axle or 80,000 with a Quad. But does not add up to me. Why anyone wants a Quad for 6000 lbs. When most times they can't haul as much as the Tri's can. I used to be able to haul 26 tons on my 1997 General. But it was a low weight single frame truck.
We can't run the interstates. But most are doing it, not sure when there going to be caught. Same as the Quads they can't Bridge the weight. But everyone claims that's whey they went with a Quad.
