Classy Truck of November

This red and white 2010 International MaxxForce 10 with a 350-hp engine and 4,000-gallon steel tank from Transway Systems is the latest service rig for owner Jim Sproule. With a 10-speed overdrive Eaton Fuller transmission and Fruitland 500 pump with cab controls, the truck is used for 60 percent commercial and 40 percent residential pumping. Handy technician conveniences include a work light switch, a switch that lets air out of the rear suspension for easier dumping, onboard Schmitz Bros. LLC Crust Buster tank agitator, 6-inch heated discharge valve, dual pressure relief valves, a full-open rear door, a Power Booster from Pressure Lift Corp., and topside manway with primary shutoff. The tank’s bright red paint job is shielded from hose wear and tear by a diamond-plate protector. Graphics, including a maple leaf flag design with a beaver in the center, are from Hiamedia. Garmin GPS helps keep drivers on their routes.
