    Not fifteen minutes before that saw a western express pulling a three axle RGN. When did this happen? Both sightings were in Knoxville.

    There was a guy from Western with a 3 axle RGN that delivered at Red River when I was there dropping a truck off.
    First off he parks so close to me that I cant reattach, then hasen't a clue how to break the trailer down.
    Noticed all the 5/16" chain and about lost it laughing, so couldn't get mad. 5/16" chain when pulling a 3 axle? Wow...
    Granted I sold all my 1/2" when I sold the 4 axle KW I had 2 trucks before this one, but even I draw the line at 3/8" American made stuff with a 7400lb rating on it.

    I know Western Express been pulling those excavators when they brought out SMX. Haven't seen Western Express pull them in a while tho. Don't worry, they will be pulling those loads at 32 CPM.:biggrin_2559:

    I ran into two western express drivers last summer who both got oversize flat steel and they were asking me how to hang the oversize signs, didn't have the right equipment, no flags and both took off and rolled without permits, one was actually telling me how is dispatcher gets high constantly. Unreal.

    I saw a SNI flatbed in south Carolina a few weeks ago had a load of shingles with every strap flopping in the breeze.
