TRUCKS AND EQUIPMENT
We have two trucks available for delivery. The larger truck is a 4800 series International with 4 wheel drive. The truck will hold up to 9 tons and I comfortably carry 8 tons most of the time. I have two dividers in the truck which allows me to deliver up to three separate orders at a time. This truck, with its 4 wheel drive transfer case also has low range. Low range and 4 wheel drive are a fantastic combination for getting into difficult locations. (not that any of my customers have difficult to access delivery locations!!!)
The second truck is a Dodge 350. It is a standard transmission and has the Cummins Diesel in it. I can safely carry three tons. I do not try to divide the load on this truck, simply delivering one order at a time. The limiting quality about this truck is that it is only two-wheel drive. The truck gives me decent fuel economy, allowing me to deliver smaller orders that are isolated locations.
