Cabovers

That's OK, nice place! It's just way ahead to where B H Oblahhhhhh.......wants to take America!
Really BAD Thing!!!!

 

Y'all excuse my bad mood today!
Bad day in America today..........courts failed to uphold Constitutional required Gov's power limitations in the case before them about "Oblahhhhm's Care"

I know......this is well outside the forum's subject, but........I hoppe y'all understand!

 

Oh well, July 4th is comming.
T T s and beer, T T s and beer, I just love them T T s and beer!!!

 

Gun powder and alcohol, can't go wrong with that combo !!

 

Wide big roads. How different we can be, I would fall a sleep driving on those roads, it's just booring

I love when roads are like this, 10% climb twisty (yes the window is open and 50t), small. Gives you a challenge. Ad a lot of snow, snow storm would be perfect and you got the best possible driving conditions if you ask me. Light load an slippery is even more fun

About the front axel load, that's way to little compared to the rear in the winter, wouldn't want to drive with that.

 

I agree with you with the front axle load. That's why you see allot of rigs allove the place in the winter....in the ditch, in the median, jackknifed.......etc. Well, besides the fact that there's more and more people that don't know what they're doing.

As far as the 10% grades (up hill not too bad, down hill really bad) and winding, snow (not too bad), ice (really bad)........etc..... I'll pass on that one. I'm not out here to prove anything and definitely not sight seeing. I'm ou here to make money, and the easier, the better.

I like the powerhouse that you're driving in that video.

 

Oh, I can't forget them heavy haul trailers pictures that were posted here today. Got to thinking about the all steering axles on the trailer. I've seen some trailers here that are used for transporting windmill blades and things like that. Well, they have steering possibility, but the whole full width axle is mounted on a steering mechanism since the axles themselves are non steerable axles, and not much hydraulics aether, at least on the suspension side, no hydraulic leveling of lifting like on the Euro trailers.

Very primitive!

Nice Nooteboom trailer!

 

The Dutch make some unbelievable trailers even for general haulage, all steer axles, container chassis and even reefers that can split in half etc.
