Truck & Trailer Specialties Howell Store Crew with Genessee County Tri-Axle Truck they built.

Genessee County Tri-Axle Winter Maintenance Truck

The new Truck & Trailer Specialties branch in Howell is turning out truck build-ups.  Pictured is the second of 5 tri-axles they are building for Genessee County Road Commission.  This is a "sweetheart" of a truck.  Has front steerable tag axle that is mounted so as to slide forward for summer operations providing a 9 foot axle spread.  By re-positioning the tag axle for summer operations (i.e. chip seal, gravel hauls, paving/asphalt transport, etc.) this truck can scale almost as much as a quad axle.  Truck & Trailer Specialties has similarly built trucks at Kalamazoo County Road Commission.  This truck has a midmount patrol wing, reversible front "mouse-ear snow plow", and stainless steel dump body.  This is a well designed unit for productivity, efficiency and long service life.  As always, this truck displays the quality craftsmanship of the Truck & Trailer Specialties talented buildup personnel which our customers expect and which separates us from the competition
