The answer man is at it again. Louisville Switching Service Manager Chuck Duggins is back to answer one of the most commonly asked Ottawa questions. Since countless questions come in on a daily basis regarding all things Ottawa, Chuck has agreed to answer them in our series, "Ask Chuck." If you missed our last Ask Chuck blog, you can read it here.

This week's Ottawa Yard Truck Question is:

Can I Convert an Off-Road Model?

Chuck says:

The off-road models are assigned a six digit frame number and do not have a 17 digit VIN# (Vehicle Identification Number) that is used for licensing, so an off-road model is not convertible. Also, most of the off-road trucks don't not have all of the lights, the air horn, or the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) specifications to use on the road. Most of the off-road trucks have 4th gear locked out in the transmission for slower speed and more power. Road trucks have 4th gear installed and can reach a speed of 42 mph.
