Tips for Selecting Dump Trucks

3 Tips for Selecting the Latest Dump Trucks

Your business relies on dump trucks for ensuring materials make their way to and from the work site effectively over the long-term. Maybe you’ll require particular types of dump trucks when you have challenging terrain to overcome and for placing materials at the site. It’s the reason that so many construction company leaders are now turning to our team at Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth for guidance on choosing the correct dump trucks for sale. In this latest post, we’ll offer 3 tips for selecting dump trucks

3 Tips for Selecting Dump Trucks

1. Consider Engine Size

One of the first and perhaps most important considerations when evaluating any dump truck for sale is the engine size. Buying more horsepower than you might require on the road can be a waste of money. Make sure that you consider your ongoing performance needs and determine if the engine size can be balanced between the total price and system capacity. The extra horsepower of the vehicle will come in handy on challenging terrain but for flat job sites you may only require a smaller engine and vehicle. Work with a local specialist to analyze the leading dump trucks for sale and their engines.

2. Review Manual Vehicles

While automatic dump trucks will clearly offer a benefit in terms of improving driver performance and limiting fatigue, the manual vehicle might be the ideal option for companies operating on challenging terrain. The latest Kenworth dump trucks for sale include 18-speed manual transmissions that allow for safe travel across difficult terrains that other vehicles simply couldn’t support.

3. Evaluate Hauling Challenges

The weight of the load on the vehicle is another of the more important considerations. Make sure you review the state weight limits on local and state roads and determine whether the haul size and the size of the truck can be balanced to manage weight restrictions. Some vehicles require a larger axle to transfer any additional weight from front to back through effective axle positioning. Consider balancing requirements and review the weight of vehicles in addition to hauls when choosing dump trucks.

Three Benefits of the Kenworth T880 Dump Truck

by John Pospischil
Kenworth T880

Sure, a dump truck can be one of the best all-around investments you can make in your fleet . But there are plenty of choices in dumpers.  Why choose a Kenworth T880 dump truck?

Well, the T880 is one of the newest offerings from Kenworth.  It’s only been around since 2014, but in that time, it’s rocketed to the top of sales charts as well as award lists.  One year after introduction, it was already receiving “Truck of the Year” accolades from multiple outlets. It continues to be continually ranked as one of the best trucks on the road.

The Kenworth T880 dump truck brings you all the benefits of a standard Kenworth, including exceptional dumping/hauling capabilities as well!

Three Reasons to Consider a Kenworth T880 Dump Truck

1. Tri-Axle design with lift brings extra flexibility

A tandem dump truck is going to have better maneuverability than a tri-axle. But a tri-axle can legally haul heavier loads in most states.  Why choose when you can have both?  Most Kenworth T880 dump trucks come with an available lift axle, specifically to give you more choices in how you use your dump truck, without sacrificing power or maneuverability in tight situations.

2. Great cab ergonomics

You want your drivers to have as easy a time as possible operating their dump truck, and this is one area where Kenworth absolutely excels.  Their cabs aren’t just luxurious and surprisingly low-noise; they’ve also been designed with ergonomics in mind.  Controls are easy to reach, and elements such as the clutch require less force to utilize – making operation less wearying over a long day.

3. Plenty of engine choices

There are six different engines which can be dropped into a T880 dump truck, ranging from a PACCAR MX-11 to a huge Cummins X15.  This allows you to pick the perfect balance between power and fuel use to fit your needs.

Take Your Pick of Kenworth T880 Dump Trucks

We have plenty of new and used Kenworths here at Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth.  Come by and see our selection today!

Kenworth T880: Ranked the Best Class 8 Trucks Every Year

by John Pospischil
Class 8 Truck

In just a few years since its introduction in 2014, the Kenworth T880 has garnered impressive success. Originally conceived as a replacement to the T800, the T880 has grown to be far more than a simple upgrade.  It’s taken on a life of its own, and has been continually ranked as being among the best trucks on the road. Including “Truck of the Year” awards from multiple outlets.

What makes the Kenworth T880 so special that it’s become such a popular and acclaimed model in a short span of time.  Our Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth team takes a look at the highlights.

3 Reasons Why the Kenworth T880 Is Among the Best Class 8 Trucks on the Road

1. Easy Maintenance

Kenworth knows that maintenance should not take the truck off the road for any longer than necessary. The T880 is designed with human accessibility in mind.  The engine is easy to access, and areas which will need to be checked frequently – such as the dipstick and oil spout – are readily at hand.  Other vital components, such as the belts, are plainly in-view and require little work to remove.

This helps keep its downtime as low as possible.

2. Luxury Cab

Sure, you aren’t buying a Class 8 truck for the cabin – but a nice cabin sure helps the miles go by.  The Diamond VIT T880 cab has been compared to a luxury car in terms of its feel and polish, making the T880 a genuine pleasure to drive even for long distances.  Additionally, Kenworth deploys superior sound-dampening to keep cabin noise as low as possibly.

3. Plenty of Power to Spare

With your choice of either Cummins or PACCAR engines, and up to 600HP and 2,050 lb-ft of Torque, you’ll never have to worry about whether a T880 is capable of handling your load.  It is.  Only in the most difficult and rugged terrain is there likely to be any issue. In such situations, you’d probably want a dedicated off-road vehicle anyway.   Otherwise, the T880 is a true “jack of all trades” that’s suitable for a wide variety of jobs.

Kenworth Supports Truckers Against Trafficking

by John Pospischil
Truckers Against Trafficking

It’s not something people in the industry like to talk about, but the fact is, there’s a definite connection between truck driving in North America and human trafficking.

Whether it’s running bodies over the border or transporting the estimated hundreds of thousands of captives here in the US, human traffickers need truck drivers to get their dirty work done.  Traffickers recruit from schools, shipping companies, work depots, even online. Their constant stream of drivers who prioritize money over lives is a deliberate attempt to circumvent the law.

However, there are also good guys in this fight. We at Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth as well as Kenworth themselves are proud to support them:  Truckers against Trafficking.

Fighting the Good Fight against Human Trafficking

Truckers Against Trafficking began in 2009, and have since risen to prominence while also garnering the support of many key players in the industry.  Their services include distributing information about human trafficking in the United States, as well as creating a network of drivers who always have their eyes and ears open to signs of trafficking going on around them.

Law enforcement should be called in any potential situations

Kenworth is a “Platinum” level supporter of Truckers Against Trafficking, alongside Volvo and Peterbilt.  Such direct support from truck manufacturers is vital to getting the word out, as well as keeping truckers informed.

Donating A T680 Kenworth to the Cause

Kenworth also recently aided the cause by donating one of their T680 Kenworth trucks for charity auction!  It was outfitted with special “Everyday Heroes” decals to emphasize the importance of drivers getting involved. The responsibility of selling it was given to Richie Bros auction house.

Appropriately, the winner of this custom T680 Kenworth was also from the industry: Mike Jimenez, owner of Phoenix-based J&L Transportation.  His winning bid, minus auction fees and other duties, ultimately netted $89,000 for Truckers against Trafficking.  It was, in fact, the largest single donation that TAT had ever received.

This was a perfect way for Kenworth to show their support for Truckers Against Trafficking. It also as helping to get the word out about the excellent T680 Kenworth.

If you’re also interested in joining the fight against human trafficking, it’s easy to get started:  TAT offers a free series of videos and online certification for anyone wishing to help.  Just visit their website and sign up!
