    Really, you can’t hose them down?
    Have a Smithfield operation a little ways down the road, see the drivers at a certain truck stop spraying them down all the time.

    No…. I have to permit it anyway since it’s over 9’ wide. So I Permit the weight to 84K, and add 2000 lbs to the drives & 2K to the trailer……

    Spraying them helps but they'll go into shock if they're too tired.

    Didn’t know that. Have witnessed them get unruly in a trailer, Fighting. That sure makes a lot of noise. Rocks the trailer pretty good.

    Plant I used to go to the plant had people to unload. No driver's allowed in the trailer. Also they could not have their own hot shot but they could use the driver's. Didn't make sense to me but I didn't care as long as I wasn't unloading

    When I hauled this in I was legal in WV with a permit, but was illegal on 67E46C6C-717C-4715-A126-6DE6D382DE17.jpeg C3B37B26-4BCB-40A6-B72E-F94E55CE529D.jpeg BB6581F7-099E-43D6-BD5D-D7B708DA4932.jpeg weight in Kentucky on a 5 axle unit like mine.

    On 5 axles I’m allowed up to 104,000 in WV, but only 96,000 in Kentucky on the same 5 axles.

    I was 101,000 with this one. :)

    Ever seen the movie Wrong Turn? That’s where I picked it up lol…. Panther, WV…..
