    I can scale 45 as well, and I'm a heavy tractor, but the SS make it so you can actually carry some fuel as well.

    Im not up to snuff on the new stuff but i thought most fleets could do that with duals, twin 150s might be pushing it?

    I scale at just over 35K. If I ran SS, on trailer as well, it'd be just over 34K.

    I know Navajo was big on them, but I've seen more of their stuff with duals.

    I never believed in them.

    I always see those squiggly marks on the road, as they pull onto the side with their super single flopping, grinding under the rim. What a $$ saving idea.

    Super singles look cool until one blows and you can't go anywhere.

    Not just that but in many cases if you blow out you're going to be replacing a rim too. That's not very cost effective.
     
    Echo5kilo and stillwurkin Thank this.

    Back in 2011 I was assigned a tractor with super singles at Poly Trucking. I figured they'd be a pain to chain due to the larger size/weight of the chains. Never had to thankfully.
