Convention Spotlight: Innovation on Display
Empire Truck drew crowds at the Mississippi Association of Supervisors 96th Convention in Biloxi, proudly exhibiting their cutting-edge WXL-10-3238 dump body destined for Grenada County. This Warren-designed marvel eliminates traditional crossmembers—horizontal support bars beneath the bed—to maximize payload capacity and durability. As supervisors examined its streamlined construction, the buzz centered on how crossmemberless dump bodies solve persistent maintenance headaches while boosting efficiency.
Purpose-Built for Mississippi’s Demands
The showcased unit combines rugged practicality with advanced engineering. Its integrated tarp system ensures secure load containment during gravel, sand, or debris transport, while the robust 20-ton pintle hitch tow package handles heavy equipment with ease. Unlike conventional designs, Warren’s crossmemberless dump bodies prevent material accumulation in structural crevices—a critical advantage for Mississippi’s humid climate where trapped moisture accelerates corrosion.
Why Counties Choose Crossmemberless Technology
Grenada County’s upcoming deployment highlights key benefits of crossmemberless dump bodies: 12% greater payload capacity from reduced dead weight, minimized material hang-ups during dumping, and simplified cleaning that cuts maintenance time by 30%. The seamless floor design withstands impact damage from heavy aggregates, extending service life. As one supervisor noted: “It’s not just a truck bed—it’s a total rethinking of material handling.”
Driving Mississippi’s Future
Empire Truck’s convention presence underscores their commitment to modernizing public works fleets. By partnering with Warren to deliver crossmemberless dump bodies to Grenada County, they provide tangible solutions for budget-conscious municipalities. The design’s weight savings translate to reduced fuel costs and fewer road repairs—proving that smart engineering elevates community service across Mississippi.
