Wife and FIL was in the trucking business for 50+ yrs. Run several semi's,10 wheelers etc and one single axel small dump truck. FIL said he made more money from the single axle than any other truck. Many want one ton of this or that,so we charge accordingly. Have a flink fantail spreader for it and we spread a lot of driveways. So far not very much competition. It's a c60 chevy, couldn't be very much bigger or couldn't get in the places we have to. Cab protecter cut off the bed for more clearance under wires. FIL recently passed away. He didn't believe in new equipment. If it was paid for,it was better than new. I'm looking for a little newer. Spreader drives by a chain that you put on a sproket on the wheel.
