Adding Lift Axle Cost

Yeah. The rest will be on the job training. What else can they teach me without all the different loads and permits that I will encounter through experience. Did practice on hooking and unhooking trailer, stretching the trailer, lowering and raising the trailer, and key things to keep in mind. Load securement: I already have 4 years of that. Reading permits I already have 3 years of that. Load I picked up today was a perfect starter load. Gave me a chance to get a decent feel for the trailer. Total weight just under 99k and this trailer didn’t have me lose much power going up hills. Tomorrow I will see how it does going 24 East in Chattanooga area towards Georgia. Photos attached any pointers or criticism will be much appreciated.

 

That is one beautiful truck. I dropped my trailer and hooked it after I was loaded to practice. Locking my axles and my ramps made lifting the trailer very easy. I was on hard dirt ground. No gravel nor pavement.

 

I have 2 chains on there and all open deck trailers I have encountered have attachment points. I have 4 inches ground clearance. Car haulers are lower than this. If your new, it's nothing special.

 

If you're wondering about the load and attachment points in case I misunderstood your question, it has attachment points only on one side and the loader told me don't use them. He said just throw the chains over the load
