    Carl,
    Not sure if there would be enough inserts to go into it, being @58' long and 118k lbs!
    The stretch that came down had 34 in the well, and was 53'4" long with the flip axle UP! Another guy turned up today, but didn't talk to him as he screwed me yesterday by the sound of it.
    I turned out fine. Had 12,800, 40,080, 47,040 at the grain elevator scale, I slid up 2 inches and called it good. Seeing as my buddy at the IL/IA line ion 80 was closed, I put it on a Cat scale at Brooklyn,Ia and got 13240, 39340, 47040, with 1/4 tanks. Threw 120 gallons on here at the Loves in Clive, so should be good for Avoca and Greenwood tomorrow AM. Jason said North Platte was under destruction, so fingers crossed. Will fully fuel in Big Springs or North Platte though. Wy etc wont care if I go over 40, so will be fine after Ne.

    Glad you scaled out good. Yea. It seems like they are taking their time in North Platte, Makes everybody happy.
    Sounds like the bigger stuff will have to go on a 13 with extra decks and then will be tight for Ca. weights.
    Better them than me. I refused to put more than one insert in my trl. as it was not a steerable setup.
    Oh you want a good chuckle?
    You know those new Schnaubles the mother ship had built? Well they have a trk. lded with a tower and he can't make weight for Az. as the cost savers went with 8'6" wide jeeps again...
    Plus the new Vesta towers are coming out at 165 I was told..

    If you fuel at Big Springs and are stretched out, be prepared to bottom out. Over air the trl. and angle it out the drive way. I've dragged coming out of there last summer stretched out..
     
    leftlanetruckin and SHC Thank this.

    I am not stretched out Carl. I just have a normal 3 axle with the neck flipped down. I always angle coming out of big Springs, it looks nasty! I am 43 empty with a 55 ton 3 axle, so I think they are going to make it mine, so to speak.
    Funny how 'they' keep screwing up huh? Lol

    Shame, but after only meeting him twice, I wrote him off as a wannabe. After taking 2 full days to load a single piece, he still is wondering why the office wont give him bigger loads.....
