    get a spread. the only reason to get a tandem axle is if you want to run western Canada. a spread axle means you will almost never have to scale a load. in fact I've weighed mine only once, and that was when I first got it to get an empty weight.

    Hey guys, I know it took a while, but I finally found a truck I like. 2006 IH 9400 ISX @435, 10 speed with a 51'' mid rise sleeper. 703,000 miles on the clock, hope to finish the sale tues or wed(dealer has a few things to fix). I spent to much time trying to find a truck I could just pay cash for, but either they wanted to much or they were junk. Or maybe I'm just too pickey.:yes2557:I did have to finance some of this on but I'm very happy with it. As my father would say it's what I need not what I want.
    I'm not crazy about the maxi singles, but I'll take what I can get. Anyways, hopefully I can get everything finalized on wed so I can hammer down to louisville on sunday!

    And what's wrong with the maxi singles? I'd love to swap out my duals for a set.
    Are yours 22.5?

    Well everybody and one trucking company that I talked to said they were the only company to work for. I'm all in also, but no truck. I want to buy another truck from another driver or company. And lease onto this company, but I cannot get the financing or find a truck to buy from someone that has a truck to sell me. Is there anyone that could help? Thanks

    I'm just concerned about when they blow you're done versus duals you can at least limp it to a safer place. No offense oh wise one(grin). And yes their 22.5.
