Look at the rear squat in the picture which obviously means less steering control. I get out of the way when I see wedges near me.

I'm guessing they ain't flips, & are permanently attached because they are so long.? Look like 4-5 footers from the pic..
He is blinding oncoming traffic with the headlights pointed up, & it looks a little funny. I'd be more concerned taking on/off ramps, 90° turns in the citys, & evasive maneuvers with the front car up so high..
This picture of rear squat is slightly exacerbated because of the terrain.. Here's my scale ticket to show the steer did gain some weight. Not much, but no loss of steer traction whatsoever..
60lb gain over empty weight

The 1500 had the stock rims and tires in the back also.
Usually don't scale over 31k
Might need to go heavy more often if these super truckers will steer clear of me with their phone in one hand and frito bag in the other crying about duallys. Gonna miss it when I get my single axle in January.Lite bug and singlescrewshaker Thank this. -
Yeah, not much respect for the small rigs on the road.. I get it though as there is some buffoonery going on in the hotshot world.. But there's also plenty D-bags clowning around on 18 wheels too..
Welcome to the single screw revolution.! Be happy to have some company..

Singlescrewshaker do you just hook those ramps to the trailer and drive that truck on ?
singlescrewshaker Thanks this. -

I get away with just using 8' sometimes, but mostly use all 16'. It kinda sucks on short loads like these vans I just did today. Set up & breaking down 500lbs of ramps in the same day is rough..
As the great Gary always said, gotta be versatile if you want to run light!! Still sticks with me..

Picked these up in Lafayette, NJ.Lite bug and 24kHotshot Thank this.
