Ram outsells Chevrolet Silverado in shakeup that should make GM and Ford take diesel half-tons more seriously
We typically don’t waste of lot space on pickup truck sales. That’s mainly because they’re numbers that don’t change a whole lot: Ford always wins, Chevrolet is the runner-up and Ram places third just about every month. It’s been that way for the better part of the last 15 years. Until last month. For the […]

“Netflix model” for online construction safety training makes implementing programs a no-brainer
Efforts to reduce construction accidents and injuries are slowly but surely having an effect, as each year OSHA’s tally of construction-related fatalities drops in number.

Republican Senators turn tables on investigation in vocal defense of Caterpillar during tax hearing
Though a U.S. Senate report written by Michigan Democrat Sen. Carl Levin concluded that Caterpillar had done nothing illegal in offshore tax strategy, most expected a Tuesday hearing before the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations to amount to a prolonged scolding for Cat and its financial adviser PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. In the end, it was more of a fair […]

How to save money and protect equipment by creating an anti-idling policy at your construction company
In construction bids, nobody likes to leave money on the table. Yet the biggest controllable expense—fuel cost—is rarely scrutinized for savings. That’s unfortunate, given that the average idle time for heavy equipment is 40 percent, says Komatsu’s Ken Calvert. Komatsu started putting telematics on its machines in 2006. When they looked at the aggregate data […]

Understanding your pickup’s max payload capacity and how helper springs make a smooth ride of a heavy load
Hauling 55-gallon drums of diesel, a bed full of pit run gravel or pallets of undercarriage parts are an every day occurrence for many pickup drivers who multitask around heavy construction, aggregates, landscaping and other businesses involved in moving dirt, sand and rock. We use pickups as a tool to haul loads and tow trailers […]

But if your assessment of the performance of CTLs and their potential for your business stops with the commonplace, you can’t make the right decisions regarding their use. Cost […]
