    I said it was two trailers. You can't correct any misconceptions for me as I live in Idaho and understand the 105,500 law.

    I might of come across as rude but, that was not my intent. The rules the fleet in question are operating under are not HH laws. How so? This fleet is hauling multi-piece loads. HH laws don't allow multi-piece loads.

    Ok, so you say we pull doubles, and I say the division (primarily) doesnt. The most common is a 4axle trailer with a 4 axle truck. The 2nd most common is a 3 axle reefer pulled by either a 4 or 3 axle truck. They also have a small fleet (10 trucks or so) that pull doubles.

    Regardless, you are no longer worth my time sir. Kinda like wrestling with a pig. The pig has fun and you just get dirty. Best of luck in your endeavors.

    As a side note: I no longer drive for Swift. Found a great local job at $24/hr with lots of overtime. I will still answer SWIFTHH questions to the best of my abilities as I still have friends in the division. Average day is still 400-500 miles on sliding scale (2 loads). Average wage after 1 year is .39 -.42/mile. Not a bad place to get your feet wet and the heavier loads look good on the resume.

    WRONG!!! Any thing over 80,000 is "considered" HEAVY Haul, whether youre pulling one or two or three trailers.

    Can you take those two trailers at 105,500 to any state? I can take my HH trailer to any state at 132,000+ Just because you "consider" it HH don't make it so..........

    *sigh* Did you miss the part where I said said the fleet runs WA, OR and ID? Did I say CA, Kansas and Rhode Island?

    The pig is looking more and more productive....

    Time to earn some cash, off to work.

    Check your facts, once again the DOT considers anything over 80,000 "heavy haul" if you have to buy extended weight permits, oversize permits or anything of the like you are considered heavy haul. Now you can spew your opinion all you'd like but the facts are the facts and i can't change those.
