| 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. ------------- Jack of all trades, master of none |

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 . ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light.
