    I figured at LEAST 2500 on the miles. I already told him WY was out, because I had to call them before we could stitch the other states together on the way up to Bend.

    I have a feeling Texas may require a route survey too at that width.

    Exclude fuel from the equation, I’m only curious as to what the truck will make - but Bob gets about 4-5 mpg loaded in fair weather conditions.

    Disregard my comments on scaling if the 110k is gross weight and not the weight of the load itself.

    I also thought 6-7 days. Most of these states are not auto issued at those dimensions. Oregon was backed up 2 days last week, for example.

    me too and sometimes more

    I originally thought the load weighed 110k - which is an entirely different animal. The load is still light in money but not near as much running as a 7 axle. Is he steerable?

    No. I don’t know the correct name for his trailer, it has a flip neck on it, which is flipped back, and fixed neck down to a 3 axle extendable low deck about 26” tall?

    No steerable.

    I think he $10k or so light on the net money but everybody has a different take on take on things.

    I worked it through my head and not sure if sharing my thoughts is beneficial or not

    Here’s my comment.
    Call your agent and tell them you just had a family member with an emergency. Sorry about the load, but just can’t do it right now.

    He will clear somewhere between 10-13,000 on it. Nothing to write home about. Lot of out of pocket and lot of work to clear 4-5 bucks a mile. Whoever said he was 10k light is about right. Needs an additional 7-10,000 in revenue on it.
