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.

 

Do you hire a pilot car on 2 lanes in OK since your over 80 ft long.

 

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.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?

 

Congrats and good luck!!!!!!

 

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.
