    I'm pretty excited when all 8 tires are up, the lights all work, and the brakes sorta work. And I didn't have to drive 150 to 6 locations to find it.
    You have to get your happiness where you find it.....

    They're not going to. According to their own propaganda air ride is no better than spring ride.

    Having run both ... I see zero advantages with an air ride, other than the opportunity to spend more time in the shop

    I have , I've literally had pallets of product collapse because of spring ride.
    I've also haven't spent any 'extra' time in the shop having an air ride suspension worked on .
    I've pulled a lot of air ride trailers in 28yrs.

    Oh lord! Sounds like Western Express. Thought Schneider was supposed to be better than the bottom feeders. (Werner, Swift)

    Remember the caliber of driver we are working with. They will have a pin hung up sliding the tandems and push so hard the tail is 14'6" off the ground, torque out the guide brackets thrn every bump you risk jumping off track.
