Question about Log Truck Drivers.

[Mike270412]

"We're not gonna pay you much but look at the shiny truck you get to drive!" .....Have seen that one a few times.

He has 14 new ones lined up at the local kenworth dealer getting rigged out.

Either way most would rather he pulled the pin, he is the biggest rate cutting low ball douche bag trucker out there, if you see his rigs in your area, watch your back pocket, and if your a driver watch your paycheck, well known for screwing his employee's. Likes to hire the kids who dont know nothing about trucking but love the chrome.

If anybody is looking at buying one at Ritchies, be forwarned, those trucks haven't seen the business end of a grease gun very often. 300,000k and wore out.

I was just think how long could a logtruck last till it is totally shook to ****?

Would look nice with a grain boxing one of those.

Well maintained and looked after no problem getting 600,000k out of one, driven like an idiot and no maintenance, you better dump them at Richies between 200 and 300,000k. Usually a reason why the dealer wont take them on trade.

Probably get way more selling them stateside too.

Trucks don't even match.

They are all deleted, posted on Ritchies site, has to be disclosed. Yankee's not fans of deletes, biggest market for tridrives is the USofA is Texas and they cant have deletes.

Either way they are a good looking group of trucks, he spent a fortune shining them up for the sale, they will get a good buck. Around here you seldom see tridrives with big shacks, but he purposely ordered them that way so he could resell into the Alberta market.

almost 10,000 lots in the latest Ritchies Edmonton sale, a 5 dayer, going to be a big one.

Those should fall under the premium used units- that’s what our machinery dealer tells us about the units that get traded every 1-2 yrs by Big operators. All the plastic caps are still on grease nipples

Yea huge. Going to throw a few items in. I always wonder if it's going to get to the point of too much stuff, and deals to be had, but never happens. April sales always seem to bring massive dollars.

 

[LUCKY 7]

imagine not having a radio and seeing this big unit coming at you.

Didn't realize he had that many rigs.

Look nice but wouldn't buy one.

Always wondered how guys that go to the Brown's school of undercut rate trucking can afford all that chrome and shiny chit?

Hey looking to buy a flat deck tandem but need to be able to fit a crew of 4 in the truck.

Extended cab tandems (28-30" sleeper) are few and far between.

Can anyone recommend a good shop that does aftermarket sleepers and frame extensions/wheelbase work?

Simard suspensions in Stony Plain if they are still in business used to do lots of this work. Seems kinda slow around there right now though?

This looks promising.
Sure not many companies out there who do this.

Thx
