What is the average cost of adding a lift axle?

Very wise and respected. I will be in the yard hopefully tomorrow and will see how everything plays out. That is: I will give all the concerns and examples given here and take it from there:
1) not a double frame truck (does it matter if I don't have a lift axle?)
2) fifth wheel on my truck is between 43-44 inches from the ground not the minimum 48 inches

Just a couple of examples.

If it was a company that I hadn't worked with for almost 5 years, I would have your justified concerns. This company has been very good to me and has saved me two times. I have no doubt that everything will work out whether it be with my current truck or one specific to HH.

Question for you and everyone else should I take the skirts off my truck?

 

Thank you and good point. I thought the same thing about the resale value.

 

Update: I received one day of training on the RGN. Don’t think I need more except for on the job experience from here on out.
Added ramps to my tractor for the fifth wheel.
Added cameras to the trailer for assistance.
Talked in depth with new dispatcher and we are on the same page. IE, I will keep the deck height at 2 ft ( to be precise 21 inches for the first month or so until I feel more confident with the ground clearance).
My first load is today from Illinois to Georgia. Just over weight and barely that at only 51k.
Working on selling my flatbed before buying the heavy haul truck.
Attached are pictures of the RGN, Cameras and Ramps.

 

My truck is not a HH truck not even close. I do carry tire chains.

 

I have the ramps and hopefully they'll do the trick.
