This is a new truck we got in today. A Peterbilt with a 4.5 yard barrel. Auto trans and a/c. We're getting three more just like it. I'd give my left nut for one of them.

Very nice, are they single axle? Front discharges never hit on down there? I could see a nice orange & red Oshkosh with TANIS on the barrel......

wow.. it is cute.. its like a baby... how come your company is buying those?? We keep getting calls from homeowners asking if we have small trucks that could get behind their houses. The current answer is "No". There are a couple of companies around who bought small trucks with 4 yard barrels so the owner figured why not buy a few of them? Today I heard that you don't need a CDL to drive them so they may hire drivers without CDL's and pay them less than we're getting. Sounds like I'm keeping both my nuts.
