@@KenworthofRichfield I'm still the only one who has a W990 setup as a dump truck and I'm surprised that some haven't ordered one cause I heard that while my truck sat on the lot. Quite a few of the bosses salesman other customers were inquiring about the truck and trying to figure out whose it was. I think if Kenworth hadn't come out with the W990 I probably would have went with the T880S.
that's INSANE... no limits on the axle build... is there a limit?? OK what's with the grey shoes?!?! lol the one thing I love hearing from you is the facts of GOOD drivers know how to adapt to new equipment and learn to work with it. so true, it's about team work.
We just got two new 2021 T880S that are 7 Axle Dumps and all the Tag Axle switches are in the dash and all 4 Valves are under the cab as you show with the 3 valves.
We just ordered our second t880 plow truck for municipality . We are in ny. Just waiting for tenco to finish installing plow equipment and dump. First one was an auto mine is coming w 18 speed.
They are 10k pushers. Unfortunately, I don't have a weight on them currently. From the spec sheet, it looks to be ~1k each. I should have a weight on the trucks empty in the next few days as the front pusher axle tires just got installed.
That's right! A 7 axle is definitely nicer to have than a 6 axle. I wished that I had went with the smooth sided body on my W990, just not that tall of a body.
I'd also would have had lights all down the side of that body. We run 2 rows of lights, a row on the top and a row on the bottom. Our mechanic hates all of the lights, but the boss loves it. He wants his truck to be lit up.
@@KenworthofRichfield If I'm not mistaken we run a bodies were the side height is 60" if I'm not mistaken. I know our neighboring state Maryland the trucks have the taller sides.
Trucks these days are far too expensive. My 2004 Kenworth W900B CAT MBN 7 axle super dump works great till this day and I intend to lkeep it for many more years since it's been converted to a CAT 6NZ engine spec. I haul in northern Virginia and my truck can legally haul about 26 tons net weight. I can legally haul 81,900 gross on VA state roads with a 5% overweight permit or 78,000 gross on Interstate Higheways with my 7 axle Class B super dump truck.
Actually, it's not as bad as you'd think Michael. We can spin it around in our lot which isn't all that big. Granted, it doesn't turn like the 153" T270 we have here....but it's not nearly as bad as you'd think.
Kenworth of Richfield true, like you wouldn’t see a sleeper on a cab over garbage truck... I still remember back in the day Kenworth had that Garwood LP900 Hustler Trash Truck...
A sleeper cab is nice if you have room to spare. For the company operating the dumptruck it just doesn't make financial sense. Unfortunately no-one is asking the driver...
In the Netherlands a 5 axles truck can legally weigh aprox. 110.000 pounds (highway use). Does the US have such strict weight limits that this 7 axles truck can weigh much less?
40 acres. LOL Just kidding. It's actually not bad. It's a 307" wheelbase, so it doesn't turn on a dime and you're not going to turn around in the same space as a prius. It is fully capable of backing into a 1 car driveway from a 2 lane road without having to take a second shot though. If you call our sales department, they can do a check into the specs to get you a curb to cub turning radius.
The snub nose must be good on weight and tight turns otherwise it's ugly, the t800 snub nose looks way better although it's an older model curb appeal to me is much higher than the t880s and 990
With the 7 axles and a 307" wheelbase the max weight per federal bridge law is 75,000 lbs. With 6 axles and the same wheelbase, the max weight would be 69,500 lbs.
@@KenworthofRichfield if my calculations are correct that would be about 35.000 kilogrammes. In the Netherlands a five axle truck is legally allowed to weigh 50.000 kg (i.e 110.000 pounds) for use on public roads. Does the US have strict laws for max. weight of trucks?
U ain't going to gross 80 thousand pounds with it like my dump truck most u getting is around 56 thousand the way it's set up so u losing money if u wanting to haul more weight
Lol you all are in the wrong damn state for weight limits....we run 100,000 for a conventional tractor with a tri-ax trailer, 76,000 for a tri-ax truck and 60K for a tandem.
You guys in Ohio don't believe in dump trailers, do you? You can build a less humongous truck if you pull a trailer... 😉 In BC we have quite a few transfer dump trailers (e.g. www.klinetrailers.com/trailers/truck-transfer-trailers) and, of course, tandem and tridem pups.
We do have a lot of dump trailers that get run also. There are some advantages for this in terms of a lower be height, easier maneuverability, and a larger driver pool to grab from.
It was all the hand waving that ran me off...We can see how enthused you must be over such a fine truck in your inventory, but please consider a pair of handcuffs...Other than that, a fine presentation...
