Don't know where Columbia is berthed now, but that rolling stock is now on display at the Revs Institute in Naples, FL.

They can hold 10 yards for some reason. My best guess would be that they get away with it since they are a smaller company without as many regulations. My second guess is that they take components out of the truck itself to make it meet the weight requirement. Either way, don't use blue star if you want good, smooth concrete. They are awful!
The other answer says 8 yards which I've never heard but it could be different depending on location. I've only poured in the state of Indiana

Different states have different load limits with regards to 8, 9, or 10 yards. Also a carrier can "spec" a lighter truck to have a higher payload capacity. And as you point out, some carriers go "overweight" regularly.

Is that the former Collier Museum?

I was taken there for Father's Day many years ago. I was disappointed as the Bugatti Royale had been taken home by its owner.

Doubly disappointing since that one is by far the nicest of them.

I saw the least of them at the Blackhawk - damn it was huge.

Curiously it did not reek of quality the way some Duesenbergs do.

Yes, that is the former Collier Museum. Same owners, but just a different name - branding. Want to recoginized as a place for automotive research and cars that are driven. As opposed to static displays of cars that are never exercised.
