Thanks Iron Pony,
This is the most informative and most issue-focused reply I've read in any category since I've been reading this forum. It's good to know that guys like you are out there!

I do use jakes, but I have them on the lowest stage. One co I worked for even the safety man said to use the low stage. I do not use cruise tho. If you have duals you can get a good feel by the seat and floor board. Them stupid super singles are not worth a flip.
rubbergearsnextyear Thanks this. -
Super singles and I don't have interlocking diffs either....well spec'd canadian truck i tell ya!.....oh, and I also have a Cummins ISM under the hood. Every time I get an oil change the guys laugh and say they've only seen ISMs in motorhomes and never a semi. Their jaws drop when they see the load I'm usually hauling. -
The driver who got the best fuel economy in our fleet last year was a flatbedder running Michelin XRA all-position tires - steers and duals. Says something that it was a flatbedder with the places you guys go. -
