Don't forget the Pink 10T from my old branch that's gone into Elkview Operations.

Re: 240 ton truck box
Was the $200,000 just for the paint and labour or is the cost of the new box in there too? No idea how much it costs to paint a truck but guessing its very expensive!

Re: 240 ton truck box
There is a cost spread on box based on customer requirements, a box is neighborhood of $250.000 plus freight. This is a throw away box 18,000-21000 hour projected life. Taconite is extremely abrasive. Checked this info with a competitive box representative that agreed with the info. Know in past an OEM box with liner package weighted 94,000lbs for 240 ton box at this site.

Re: 240 ton truck box
An update for pink box. An erroneous weight given for previous OEM lined boxes, weight actually well in excess of 100,000 lbs. Some time between parade last Sat and box being installed employees at this location wrote comments on sides of the box. After picture of truck at a shop door, went in to production at beginning of afternoon shift yesterday. Young lady Ashley was driver.
