This 2021 Peterbilt 348 Vehicle has 37980 road miles and 4470 operating hours, reflecting responsible use consistent with its role in water distribution and dust control.

Advantages

• Proven Peterbilt 348 platform: The Peterbilt 348 is widely respected in the field for its durability, predictable handling, and operator-friendly design. That means dependable daily performance and straightforward serviceability supported by a robust nationwide parts and service network.
• Diesel power: Diesel delivers the torque, longevity, and fuel efficiency that heavy-duty water distribution demands. Expect strong pulling power at low RPM and the kind of long-term reliability that keeps operating costs in check.
• Ledwell 4000 Gallon capacity: A 4000 gallon tank strikes the sweet spot between productivity and maneuverability. You can cover larger areas with fewer refills, reduce idle time, and maintain steady water application rates on road, pad, and site work.
• Individually controlled spray heads: With Two Front, One Side, and Two Rear spray heads that are individually controlled, operators can tailor coverage to the task. Front sprays work well for compaction and road preparation, side spray targets shoulders and trenches, and rear spray handles wide-area dust suppression. Independent control minimizes waste and maximizes efficiency.
• Rear Hose & Reel: The rear hose and reel enable precise hand-watering, wash-down, and spot applications where spray bars are not ideal. This flexibility is valuable for cleaning equipment, rinsing forms, controlling localized dust, and addressing hard-to-reach areas.
• Hydrant Fill capability: Hydrant Fill makes refilling fast and efficient where local rules and permits allow. Less time refilling means more time controlling dust and supporting compaction, which directly translates into improved productivity.
• Sight Glass for level checks: The tank’s Sight Glass provides quick, at-a-glance visibility of water level, helping prevent overfilling, improving safety at the fill point, and allowing operators to plan routes and application rates with greater certainty.
• Usage that matches the work: With 37980 Miles and 4470 hours on a 2021 unit, the usage profile signals a machine that has been active but not overworked, giving buyers a practical balance of value, remaining life, and operational readiness.

Applications

• Road building and compaction: Control moisture content during subgrade preparation, base compaction, and paving support with consistent application from the front and rear spray heads.
• Site development and dust suppression: Reduce airborne dust on haul roads, staging areas, and material stockpiles to improve visibility, safety, and regulatory compliance.
• Quarries and mining support: Keep crusher feeds, haul routes, and pit floors properly watered to decrease dust, protect equipment, and maintain productive working conditions.
• Industrial facilities: Manage dust, clean pads, and maintain access roads at plants, terminals, and distribution centers with reliable, adjustable water delivery.
• Municipal and public works: Support street maintenance, soil stabilization, and public event dust control with a broadly capable water distribution Vehicle on a respected Peterbilt chassis.
• Pipeline, utility, and energy projects: Tackle long corridors and remote locations efficiently with the large 4000 gallon capacity, hydrant refill where available, and a hose reel for targeted work.
• Demolition and environmental work: Suppress dust at the source, rinse down equipment, and manage debris handling areas more safely and efficiently.
• Landscaping and earthwork: Provide reliable watering for turf establishment, soil conditioning, and compaction support across new builds and restorations.
