    Well yes and no Haulhand. Depends on how the jeep was built for weight split.
    I will agree with you on your comment. But you can get a jeep built for like a 60/ 40 split. Then it's not good for a tandem tractor though..

    The last place I was at built some 3/3/2 trls. They were set for a 2 axle truck. So it was a 40 / 60 split.
    put a 4 axle truck under it and it could never get 60 on the drives without going over 60 on the jeep..
     
    tootie04 Thanks this.

    Yea but without ordering your trailer specifically with that split they usually split fairly close to even. I've had some long jeeps that didn't split for crap on a tandem truck but perfect on a four axle and some short jeeps that split awesome either way. Your right though it all depends on the way the trailer is specced out from the factory. I really don't like a lift axle truck myself the next four axle I buy is going to be a true tridrive as I believe the extra traction outweighs the extra tires and wear.

    Yes she did move depts and China is on maternity leave. So my best advice when talking to a recruiter is ASK IF THEY were TRAINED by Cheryl she told me she trained the new ones to TELL the TRUTH when talking to drivers. So see if that works for ya.

    We are here in CO getting unloaded as I write this. Then back to Cheyenne to get some welding done on trailer...then who knows. I will post unloading pics later they are in Bo's phone. I am glad you all enjoy reading this. I enjoy writing it too!! Black Knight....let us know how you are doing. I am glad the Hilton was not as bad as ya thought. I would rather someone be better off than telling them it really is the HILTON and then they are disappointed!
