What I can say after 22 years of owning an excavation company which as a part of that involves running and owning class 8 trucks, that aluminum frames don't hold up. You cant hardly give them away, except for scrape. That is a fact.

How carefuly are dump trucks loaded? Kinda like garbage trucks - just pack it to the top.

nobody has any idea what they weigh.

the refuse trucks I was in charge of weighted 33000 empty and averaged 54000 loaded
