That is dam n nice if you. I would take you up on it too!

She might not be on vacation next time, so you might have to do with McDonald's.

 

Question...what is the number one reason why a man should marry?

 

And then theres that big Rubbermaid container with some ToGo lasagna. You go, Solo!

 

That answer gets sensored...

 

We had a "discussion" a while back about air ride equalizing axles. Today I had a 400 Komatsu on our scale and I was right at 60,000 on the trailer. I took this picture with the rear bridge level,



I was 59,660 on the tri with 19,980 on the third axle. I raised the neck up a few inches and it made the rear axle 20,760 so by raising the neck I moved 780 pounds to the rear axle, I didn't weigh the front one but it would be lite. Here's a picture with the rear bridge out of level,



It's a little hard to see from these pictures but if you look at the gaps between the top beam flange and the tires you can see the difference between the two pictures. The front is about 2" higher in the second picture. This trailer was rebushed a year and a half ago and is in good shape.


For the record I tried to take a picture of the readout, this is what it looked like to my camera I could read it plain as day but in the camera it was "rolling" is the only way I can describe it.

 

Left the house yesterday afternoon and came out to Nebraska City and loaded this up at a Jobsite, was told not be there until 1pm to load. Get there at 12:30 and no one around, check vin, flip my axle, then a truck from
Another company pulls in to get the other dump. Talk to the driver and find out they wanted me there at 1 so could help supervise this driver as this was his 1st load solo, had a trainer for 2 weeks prior an did dry can before that. Otherwise I could have loaded this morning and been a few miles down the road. 6.5 hours later I head to to tuck stop. Earned my dinner tonight.

 

You did earn your lunch, beaming a rock ruck sucks. Did the new guy have a beam too?

 

Glad I listened to you guys and made addition blocks and different pieces of wood! No that new guy had a 4 axle talbert deck. 2 axle plus 2 flip axles on back of it

 

When I posted about it being a dead unit. It was more about the headaches he had with the lding.. Yes if the unit was mty. his trl. is way over kill....
