    Good idea; you driving the route in a car afore you slid off down there with that 2nd excavator. :rolleyes::rolleyes:
    Need more solid experienced driver like you. ;)

    That left turn in KY68 at the KY River; going from Wilmore to the Shaker Village, ain't no slouch either....
    Been years ago, but the farther you went the better you understood what signs like that would mean if there..
    Makes Lancaster to Paint Lick seem like going to Sunday Church in a rubber tired wagon...

    Except it wasn't 74 in a 45. It was 60 in a 45 and the trooper wrote him for 55. After watching the video it sounds like he got caught just past a speed change as well where it dropped from 55 to 45.

    Anybody with a clean record could probably get that ticket reduced to an equipment violation and a fine.

    Also sounded like he had enough understanding of English to talk with the officer about the stop.

    The guy is an idiot for what he did in Florida and should rot in prison for it.

    Delivered the first excavator this morning and passed by the road where R&L Drilling use to be. If they only knew what we had in and out of there lol. The 3 axle Talbert beam trailer was stretched to a 32’ well…..

    What does empty miles have to do with it?

    Half my miles are empty, but steer weight don't change anyhow cause of my 5th wheel location..

    I got 235-or 240k on my steers & only took em off to run out on the drive cause I had a mismatched wheel end from shrapnel..

    @Isafarmboy

    I run 92psi on the steer.
    The way I see it for mine is 6175 per tire or 12350lb for the pair @ 110psi
    12350÷110=112.27
    112.27×90=10,104lbs +2psi fer good luck

    ain't never over 10k on the steer

    I can understand @blairandgretchen point...but he's doing OSOW. I try shoot for the smoothest ride, I can actually feel the difference when fuel tanks are empty. Scaling out proper isn't an issue cuz I hardly ever cross dot scales.
