    What are you running now richter? I have seen a few o/o tmc trucks and wondered if one may be you.

    My experience with the dd15 is it seems like it have pulling issues when I had it. The isx we have seems to pull like a raped ape in the hills. The lowest I've ever dropped was to 9th gear in this kW. The dd15 was consistently 7th or 8th depending on the hill.

    I am a tmc owner op. Im making tons of money, but my truck is costing way to much in maintenance. Truck is an 06 Columbia with a lot of miles on it. I could cover a truck payment with the saving in maintenance lol. But, Im looking to grow my fleet, so i'll keep the columbia on the road as it does make me money. A truck with lower maint cost could make me more though.

    Like flatbeddin said. Seems to be perfect. I don't think I've ever seen my steers at over 11,700 with full tanks at 78k+

    Does anyone know the distance from the kingpin to the front of the trailer on your trailers? I want to make sure mine is the same, otherwise the 5th position will be way off.
