Win a Mack CV713 Dump Truck + Cat Skid Steer, Mini Excavator, Trailer & $20K Cash (OB44)

What you're looking at

This isn't a trophy car — it's a working fleet, and that's the appeal. The headliner is a 2005 Mack CV713, the dump-truck workhorse that small contractors still hunt for specifically because it's pre-emissions: a mechanically governed Mack E7 (12.0L inline-six) with no DPF, no DEF, and nothing to regen on a cold morning. It's a genuine tri-axle (8x6) with pusher and lift axles, a Mack Maxitorque 8-speed manual, air brakes, PTO, and a 21-cubic-yard steel bed with a roll tarp and air-operated end gate. The cab has A/C, heat, and cruise — civilized enough for long hauls.

Backing it is the kind of iron you'd actually pair with a dump truck: a 2022 Cat 259D3 tracked loader showing roughly 1,143 hours with a 72" bucket, enclosed heat/AC cab and Bluetooth, and a 2016 Cat 303.5e mini excavator at about 1,306 hours with bucket, blade, and a cabbed climate-controlled operator station. A 2002 Interstate 50DLA 29' triple-axle tag trailer (10K axles, air brakes, flip-over ramps, pintle hitch) is there to move the Cats from job to job. And then there's $20,000 cash — which, conveniently, is exactly the kind of cushion you'll want when the tax bill on a prize this size lands.

Why it matters

Most giveaways hand you one shiny thing. This one hands you a business. For a one-person operation or somebody trying to break into excavation, hauling, and site prep, the combination of a dump truck, a skid steer, a mini-ex, and a trailer is the exact starter kit you'd otherwise spend a year and a half assembling piece by piece off auction sites. The two Cat machines are the strongest part of the package on paper: both are recent (2022 and 2016) and showing genuinely modest hours for their age, which is where the real, holdable resale value sits.

The honest caveat is the truck. A 2005 dump truck is a 20-year-old commercial vehicle, and the listing doesn't state mileage — these regularly run 300,000-470,000 miles. That's normal for the class and these E7s are famously durable, but it's the single biggest variable in what the package is actually worth.

The fine print worth knowing

Entry runs from 12:00:01 a.m. ET on May 11, 2026 through 11:59:59 p.m. ET on June 28, 2026, with the drawing on or about July 10, 2026. Paid entry comes in tiered bundles (Silver $75 / 8,500 entries, Gold $125 / 17,500, Platinum $200 / 35,000), but you do not have to spend a dime: the free mail-in route gets you 75 entries — equal to the Silver tier — for a hand-written 3x5 card sent to CSS / "OB44" Sweepstakes, 5607 Pittsford Palmyra Road, PO Box 828, Pittsford, NY 14534. It's open to 47 U.S. states (no Hawaii, Alaska, or Michigan), DC, and Canada, 18+, valid driver's license required.

Last thing: the $20,000 cash is part of the prize, not a buyout option — there's no cash-in-lieu alternative for the equipment itself, so a winner who doesn't want a fleet of heavy iron should plan on selling it, and budgeting for the income-tax hit on a roughly $191,500 ARV package.
