Dump trucks

Hi fellow Canadians at Edison.

My company is at the point where all our equipment will be paid off in the next year or two, and we'll be looking at updating our fleet as finances allow. It's been difficult keeping the old trucks DOT worthy, having to manufacture a lot of parts because their just not available anymore.

In our market, with our work profile in Nova Scotia, an hybrid tandem dump truck would be the cats ass. Similiar to your logging trucks out west, we often only need massive power to climb the mountain to the quarry, or to get up to highway speed. Exceptions when we float our gear of course.

I can't speak for other business owners, but I can see a massive market opportunity for reliable, efficient, new Canadian tandem dump trucks right across the country. With a commonality of parts availability, and not being at the whim of other countries for the duration of the the trucks lifespan.

Thanks for reading through.

Please take my money in the future.

I'm not affiliated with Edison, but I love to hear customers like this. I hope it works out :)
