You guys do a few large removals?!?!? Thats one big chip truck. Looks good. If my calculations are right, that thing will hold 47 cubic yards of chips!

NICE
 
Vey cool, tandem axle chip trucks are very rare up here, on big removals I have seen two bucket trucks and one chip truck filled, probably about what your truck will take on its own. That would make a good short log truck too, once in a while. You will never get an overload fine with chips.
 
Nice truck..I would have personaly put a small loader on the truck,one that would fold-up behind the cab like a ''highab'' still a very nice truck...;)
 
good truck. Looks great too. Just have to have a guy with a CDL to drive it. If always having a person around that is certified to operate the vehicle wasnt a problem then a truck like that is a great.

EDIT: I doubt a truck like would be too top heavy. These big guys often can hold 15-18 tons. I used to hold like 2 tons in my old truck and this thing cant hold more than 5 times what my truck did.
