    No problem.


    I totally understand that. I need a 4 axle for a couple loads that happen every three months so it wouldn't get much use and the newer ones are getting stupid prices.

    He's also got a 2+3+2 he wants to sell. I'm having a hard time staying away.

    Was he pulling that trl. with the pete?
    If so does the jeep have a 60/40 split to get the weight on the drives with out being over on the jeep?
    No I'm not wanting another big trl. No customer base where I'm at for that kinda of trl.

    Breezewood, PA til Monday morning. Good day for me today, finally found insurance for the second truck and Windsmith. What a friggin' nightmare that's been ! Insurance has to be the only service you pay them and yet it feels like you are working for them, forms, phone calls, blah-blah. Let me get on my knees and beg you to insure two drivers who haven't had any claims in over 10 years ?? what a racket. Talked to prolly 20 different agents, most of whom would not even give me a quote, but finally found a guy I really like and actually getting a better price and better coverage per truck now than I was on the one truck so all's well I suppose.

    Truck is all done and out if the shop. Few small things that they took care of right away. Pleasure dealing with a place like those guys in auburn.
    Loaded at Tacoma and met up with jason. He had an extra 2 pickups in Washington and was routed across 2, and I was routed across 90 into Idaho.
    He made out like a bandit on this round, good for him! Office kinda dropped the ball last week, but they got him a better load out, and a kilter load back to the Midwest, so they made up for it in my book. Downside, his 3rd pickup won't load Saturday, so he gets a restart. I offered to be there to load it for him tonight our 1st thing in the morning, them swap it onto his trailer tomorrow, still no go according to our travel agent. Wankers.
    Got 1200 miles to do for the weekend, with laundry and shopping thrown in somewhere. Deliver early Monday, then scoot down to Omaha and load a combine for sikeston,mo.

    No he's pulling it with a tandem truck. The jeep was built for a 50/50 split. I don't need another big trailer either that's not saying I don't want one if I were to go buy one it would be a 2+4+2 level deck low profile stretch.

    I'm going to run the truck over to the shop and change oil and put new air filters in the Pete.

    Trying to get the ambition up to wash it before I go but i'm not sure if that's going to happen.

    . I don't need another big trailer either that's not saying I don't want one if I were to go buy one it would be a 2+4+2 level deck low profile stretch.

    There was a guy up in Cananda has a trl. close to that for sale. He had it posted in truck paper.
    Funny thing was in the pics. it had Tx. plates on it.
    The trl. was a 3 axle ony, but steerable low pro. Kinda caught my attention, but way to much money. Plus he had several different decks for it.
    I really would like a 2+2 steerable stretch. But with the way things are going right now, I'm not jumping in to spend that kinda money..
