    I am finishing School next week to re-certify my class A C.D.L. I used to work for Arrow trucking back in 99 to 2000 and had to get out from O.T.R and drive local rolloff truck. I have made the decision to work for may and I know my App. will be aproved for pre-hire.
    My question is this, what disadvantages is their other than getting a flat and sitting till someone comes to fix it that drivers with may can tell me about with super singles example better or worse handeling ect.?
    I know thers no such thing as a perfect Co. and I was thinking about werner but I like that being in Boise area that there's a yard in Payette to leave the truck on days off. I also like the higher pay may starts you off with than what werner has.
    Looking foward to hear from you all on this. Can't wait to get out back on the road again.

    Supers suck. I have them on my truck. When you have a blow out, your tire and more than likely the rim will be shot out. The other thing that sucks with them is the chains. Nuff said lol. My fuel economy is slightly better with the singles but its nothing to write home about
     
    Sully51 Thanks this.

    My truck has them and it's like a skating rink when raining and snowing,but only when unloaded.

    But they're good for fuel mileage.

    Similar to what you're probably going to get in an Obamacare State exchange.
