    T860? You mean 880? I’ve never seen a 325 tire that’s interesting. The problem with a rigid quad is you’re overlength everywhere you go. I’m curious what options KW offers over Pete, fill me in.

    I think you want to go heavier than a 35 to 50 ton. A 50 would be a bare minimum. Where is it that you want to haul 140k? That will determine your set up. It sounds like most of the adivice giving is from pleople who don't haul heavy. Not that 140 is heavy.

    And nobody wants a fixed quad outside of tx and la. Everywhere else you'll be buying permits to move empty.

    Ummmm.....you must be talking about the chrome chain link steering wheel or maybe the big stainless foot print accelerator peddle then, right?

    It would be cool if some big west coast corporate company owned both Petebilt and Kenworth. Can you imagine all the same options youd be able to get between the 2. It would be like they were sister companies or something.
