For decades, Kenworth has been recognized as one of the top brands in trucks on the road in America.  Whether we’re talking about Kenworth tri-axle dump trucks for sale, or highly-aerodynamic Kenworth T680s, or even iconic W900s on sale, Kenworth is one of the most beloved brands of working vehicle.

It’s no mystery why, either.  We chose to specialize in Kenworth a long time ago at Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth, when we opened our first lot outside Philadelphia.  We knew it would be a great investment, just as Kenworth’s are great investments for both drivers and fleet managers.

Three Reasons Why Kenworth Trucks Have Such Respect

1. Superior Build Quality

Kenworth’s are rugged and built to last, period.  They don’t cut corners on their designs, and they’re consistently looking to include ever-better equipment on their vehicles.  As a result, Kenworth’s also tend to hold onto their value much better than other brands.  There’s a thriving market in used Kenworth’s specifically because buyers know that even if a Kenworth has a few years on it, it’ll still be ready for plenty more action before it needs to be retired.

2. Technological Revolutions

Kenworth does an excellent job balancing the look and feel of classic vehicles with the latest in modern technology.  Their onboard computer systems and communications setups are second-to-none, enhancing the driver experience to create safer driving conditions, and lower day-to-day costs.  High-tech works to your benefit, with Kenworth.

3. A Focus on Fuel Efficiency

Gas costs are a major concern for a lot of fleet managers, since heavy trucks are not cheap to operate.  Not to mention the problem of our world’s declining gasoline reserves.  However, Kenworth has been focusing on delivering better fuel efficiency for years.

Their T680 line of vehicles is specifically designed to be as aerodynamic as possible, potentially lowering per-mile costs by as much as 10%!  And many of their other top-line vehicles include plenty of computer controls that reduce gasoline use, while encouraging smarter driving.

Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth currently has an excess of dump trucks for sale, and they are looking to move them at great prices.  However, that doesn’t mean they want their dump truck drivers to skimp on safety. The dump truck driver safety tips we offer below are crucial for any driver to be aware of.

Dump Truck Driver Safety Tips

• Always dump on a level surface. Dumping on inclines can cause sudden shifts in the load which unbalance the vehicle.
• Always check tire inflation pressure each day before use. Even small variations in pressure can cause imbalances when dumping.
• Know the load limits for the box and adhere to them. Loading too much, or too high, can seriously shift the dump truck’s center of gravity.
• Always have a guide when backing up, turning, or stopping. Dump truck visibility is usually too low to do it solo from the cab.
• When backing up, never exceed walking speed.  If the driver overlooks a pedestrian, they need to be able to get out of the way.
• Consider the likely flow properties of the material being dumped. If the flow will be uneven, err towards lighter/smaller loads.
• Never dump while parked next to any other vehicles.

Dump trucks come in many forms, with different configurations available depending on your specific usage needs. One of the most basic decisions to make is how many axles your dump truck should have. Whether you purchase a tri-axle or a quad-axle can make a significant difference in terms of its performance as well as its overall costs. While there’s no one right answer, here’s our Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth quick breakdown of both tri-axle and quad-axle dump trucks. 

Tri-Axle Dump Trucks

• Tri-axle configurations tend to be more lightweight, as well as -of course- generally involving lower on-the-road tolls and costs. This can save money in their operation means that tri-axles very often have lower maximum operating weights. Tris are often a popular choice for local hauling and for construction yard work, since they tend to have better maneuverability as well.

• Most tri-axles will include a fourth lift axle which can be raised or lowered as the operator needs.  This can be used to potentially increase their operating capacity.

• Interstate operators will need to be wary, as state laws regarding use of lift axles and the overall capacity can vary greatly. Some states do not allow the use of lift axles at all, and they must be kept elevated.  This can significantly lower total allowed weight carried across state lines.

Quad-Axle Dump Trucks

• Quads generally feature two powered axles, and two non-powered axles.  Sometimes the non-powered are lifts, sometimes not. Quads can support longer and heavier loads, at the expense of maneuverability and potentially higher on-the-road costs. Depending on the configuration, they can carry between 25% and 50% more than a tri-axle.

• Quads are generally considered better choices for longer hauls, particularly interstate work.  However, again, it remains important to be aware of local laws regarding dump trucks and their per-axle capacity. They are usually not recommended for construction sites or similar work where they might be called to drive in tight spaces.
