Be cautious of dragging your fuel tanks on speed bumps and elevation changes (driveways).
There was one shipper where I had to back down into the building, you could barely slide your hand between the tank and the pavement.Vampire, krupa530, Another Canadian driver and 3 others Thank this. -
Thing is about front over hang. It has a swing radius just like tail swing.krupa530, Another Canadian driver, Cattleman84 and 5 others Thank this.

I certainly hope they're getting an above average rate on loads like that since they're saving the Shipper a huge amount on avoiding the permit costs and rates that go along with them. I regularly see brokers trying to get those moved for cheap. They're delusional or trucks hauling them are idiots.Another Canadian driver, God prefers Diesels, exhausted379 and 1 other person Thank this.

Judging by the trucks that company runs and how close they are to the beam plant im White City I’d say they probably get a decent direct rate. When I drove for my old boss I know anytime we got down around Medford he always tried to get beams out of there down to Utah.krupa530, Another Canadian driver, God prefers Diesels and 3 others Thank this.

Pros and Cons? You’re about to find out!! Lol. I had to say it. You’ll get used to it in no time. Nice Truck, Pros far outweigh Cons IMO. Like others said, have to watch those tanks, on steep driveways, even some RR Tracks. Wouldn’t mind some more info, Year, Engine, Trans. Now all you need is a nice aluminum spread axle flat, or a 53’ Reefer with Independant sliding axles
