 You are SO RIGHT!!! [quote=LandShark;714190]you might want to check your definition of a tandem....from my exepirence you have defined there the term of duel tires....I was taught and its possible i could be wrong but a tandem was the complete set of two axel with 8 tires and wheel. think of sliding tandems to get axel weights for your wagon. New driver? CDL 1 week wonder? Like to see him at the scales  ))  |

| NAH! An 18 wheeler has to have 5 axles.Everything else is just a truck. I did see a 136 wheeler in Australia with 1500 HP, 3 500hp CATS in 3 tractors. hauling 230 tons of some piece of Nuclear powerplant up a Mountain. They were going 3 MPH too. |
