    @farmerjohn64

    I am going to try and say this so I don’t sound like a total dick

    when you go and load your overweight ingot - please take a moment to plan how the increase in weight is going to require you to modify your driving.

    yes I know you will only be around 90k gross but you need to plan ahead for stopping distance and following distance. The truck will not respond as quickly and will not want to turn sharply with out a questionable shift center of gravity. You will need to be smoother braking and turning. Also, do not try and make a sharp u turn by jack knifing the truck.

    I’m trying to find a Catahoula Cur with a blue merle coat and glass eyes; I had a female one named “Shadow” that I raised from a pup but she got ran over by this a hole driving a pickup far too fast on our road, could’ve been one of the neighbors kids that got hit by that maniac; she was about 8 months but that was years ago so my memory is a little faded

    For what its worth, you didn't come off as dick-ish at all. Thanks for picking up the slack... one of us should've already told him that when we were discussing securement.

    I assure you if anyone has good advice like this I won’t go cry in a corner and suck my thumb lol I appreciate the heads up, I’m young/new so I do tend to go a little too hot, so I’ll take this one slow; know a safe speed to go in regards to the posted speed limit?
