    They should leave it there, like that 1 Bale of garbage that sat off clearview expressway for a year.

    The question that comes to mind here.
    Did it start with two axles and something happened that forced them to remove it, or did they just not pay for the second axle? It looks like the hardware is there.

    The springs were there and rusty. Looks like it was there and removed. Straps holding leaf springs up

    Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture? I wouldn’t feel secure with it, but maybe it’s just me. IMG_0994.jpeg IMG_0995.jpeg

    20240119_133713.jpg At first, my only thought was he should have left it back a touch to lighten the tongue. It's a single rear wheel pickup, too.

    Then I noticed 3 of the 4 chains pulling back, and some at differing angles from side to side on the same chain. All the chains pulling back are at steeper angles than the front chain, too. And only 1 binder per chain, although at least 3 of the chains were through shackles so it would allow tension to equalize. Looks like all new chain and binders.

    And lastly, that short-coupled beast is going to mighty fun to back off without the trailer jacking off the side.


    But hey, at least there's no CDL involved!
