    It doesn't look it, but that just barely rocks the stick at 13'11" at the Clarence lights and rear antennas.

    Nope. Well, Skid stops are too thin, nothing other than that, doing just fine. We've got 4 over here now, and other than not caring for how the routed the hoses/cables/airlines, nobody has had any problems. We all load the heck out of them, too.

    It sounded like a tire slapping. I clutched it then it just quit on me. The coolant res was completely empty no trail of water anywhere. Wasn't running hot all gauges were normal up to that point.

    A friend of mine is having a 9 car built with a daycab 389. I am guessing maybe 42,000lbs or so?

    Here’s a stupid question for you guys. When you go into a port or wherever to load, I assume they give you some sort of list with VIN#’s and what type of vehicle it is? Do they list weights as well? I assume being heavy to begin with it’s nice to have a general idea of what vehicles weigh what.

    Some carriers do, some don't. Depends what dispatch software they use.

    Carhaulers generally have a decent ball park idea what something weighs, if they haul them pretty regular.
