They used calcium chloride here for awhile, according to my
DOT employed BIL.
Now it's a salt brine.
Funny thing, sort of.
With the required DEF and exhaust system needing t o be right behind the
cab on the new trucks the state buys, they can change the
exhaust or mount the beds up against the cab. Wing plows might play a role also.
So, they stuck the brine tanks between the cab and bed.
Spilled brine runs off the tank and down to various mounts and over the
doubled frame.
Yep, saltwater brine running between the double frame is about what you would expect.
He says he is just waiting to see a number of these trucks folded in half.
Probably in summer when they are driving with the beds up,
dumping in a paver.
