I had to do a Dump Run this morning, and this small dump truck pulled up beside me, I said, "nice truck you have there!" and I ended up taking a pic.
 Apparently it's on it's second gearbox (19000 k's), because it crunches between gears. His guesstimate was 1000 crunches a day. The new gearbox is the same. It gets less than 350 k's out of a 65 litre tank of diesel. The owner has a 1986 Ford Trader that will beat it from the lights by 150 metres to get to 60km/hr (similar engine size) He said he plans to park it outside the dealers for the day, while he goes off to work on the wharfs every day. He told me he preferred my trailer, as he wouldn't have had to pay 48 grand for it.
