Sitting in Council Bluffs, IA myself, waiting on a load going to Tomah, WI. Don't know about the rest of ya'll, but am getting plenty tired of all this snow and ice and would like to be sent someplace warm. Tahiti comes to mind. Now if I can only figure out how to add flotation devices and some kind of propeller to my trk.

Steer axle 11440
Drive axle 34060
Trailer axle 32260
Gross weight 77760
you take the 34060, and you subtract the 32260 from it giving you 1800, divide that by the number of tandems x2, giving you 900, now take the 900 and divide it by the amount of weight per pin (400lbs) and you get 2.25, which means if you slide your tandems forward 2 pins you will get your axles close to the same weight, after you slide them the axles should weigh in at
Steer axle 11440
Drive axle 33260
Trailer axle 33060
Gross weight 77760
If you need to get some fuel, you can slide it an additional 2 pins and still be legal, then your weight should be-
Steer axle 11440
Drive axle 32460
Trailer axle 33860
Gross weight 77760
This would be giving you about 1500lbs that you can load up with fuel, this comes to about 205 gals of fuel before you get close to the max weight limit for that axle. This estimation is using chrome's calculation of 7.3lbs per gallon of fuel, 205gals X 7.3lbs per gal. =1496.5lbs. I always used 8lbs per gallon, it was just easier without the decimal point.Last edited: Jan 25, 2011

Just wanted to say a great big THANK YOU to roadrunner for agreeing to take me on as a trainee for five weeks. I am one of the first to have a trainer assigned in our class. It really relieves the anxiety and stress. Out of 27, three of us have a trainer. The others are stressing about it. I am one happy gal!

Im new to this forum. My husband is talking to a recruiter right now about attending training in Georgia. Im nervous about this career change. Is central a good company to work for? or is it too good to be true?
