That’s pretty cool. Dad brought home an open top from an auction years ago. Was mounted on a 51 Ford F3. He dug a trench for one side to drop in to lower it enough he could fill sand and gravel with the WD and trip bucket loader. Many concrete projects done with it

Decades ago one concrete supplier in the city that I lived in at the time had open top trailers that you could use if you had small jobs of less than a yard and a vehicle with a 2" trailer ball. I used it once when I was extending some sidewalk in my back yard. I had a SUV which was more than adequate for towing. The mix was quite sloppy so I did get some small splashes on the back of the vehicle when I traveled. I'm not sure how popular that was and no other suppliers offered that option.

Redoing I 94 pavement here for about 12 mile stretch and doing it in sections over last 2 years . Shaffer trucking is running tandem trucks with open top pour trucks to supply mix to pavers . Unsure where batch mix plant is set up but they have a lot of trucks running when they are doing sections .
They do a 2 mile or so section , and move traffic to other lane with crossover lanes moving traffic from east bound to west bound lanes , keeping 3 lanes open separated with Jersey barriers along routes . Also laying concrete on top of permeable asphalt underlayment over substrate grading for moisture drainage . |
