    First Time Hooking to Trailer

    Thanks everybody for the input I really appreciate it. I do have a CDL class B and the truck will be all legal as far as plates and insurance.

    First Time Hooking to Trailer

    I think I paid higher 3's for the tractor and around 1000 for the trailer. It was a little more than I wanted to spend for the trailer but it looked too nice to pass up. And I think the tractor speaks for itself with how it looks. I already got to use it too, pulling a stuck tri axle out. I plan...

    M818 Recovery and Mechanical Problems

    Well after recovering my 5 ton from Drexel Gardens Indiana, and driving it all the way back to Pittsburgh 360 miles away, I have decided it is a very good truck and in nice shape. We had very little to do to the truck so in no time the truck was up and running nicely. It made it the entire trip...
