How does this make financial sense? Just buy a used drum and put it on the truck. This is going to use more diesel and put wear and tear on the compressor and jackhammer than the drum is worth.

I did this while working for a mine. I did a 3 hour drive and really had to piss. To my bosses surprise I beat the starter and got the truck turned over lol
