    I wish it was El Paso. Clint said something about pig iron to Eastland TX. And yikes on that steer tire! Good catch. I got a trailer tire I’m not crazy about. I wouldn’t think much about it, but it’s a rear outside, and I don’t want that sucker grenading on me while there’s 26 ton stood up on it. :confused:

    I’ve pulled long frames where I work over the years and have always dumped the bags, not sure if that’s the right info, but that’s how I do it.

    On the trailer? Yes always dump the air bags. It’s more stable and you won’t hyper-extend them or risk blowing them out.

    Rock to Hutchinson KS and then feed salt to some farm in Missouri. I hate winter.
