    Woah, Certified indeed, Not trying to 1 up you, Did scrap in a straight truck ( roll off dumpster ) weighed over 100 was the normal, Legal max 73,320 Felt unsteady on sharp curves, overall felt safe. still stupid and was paid $24 per ton


    Never was above 80 with a tractor trailer, I bet 106 with 3 trailers will be odd at first. Curious to know if you actually can feel the added weight spread out.

    Come on Roadrunner, Ive been to Montucky several times and I've seen some pretty hot women there. They were in the Billings area or along that stretch of the 90. Now I've seen some huge beasts in Kentucky, Mississippi and Virginia! Heck most of the south to be honest.

    Err... was gonna respond to cool35's comment that I happened to miss.... But holy crap, I just saw that wreck from FxF out in Cali. WTF!?!?! I feel terrible for the families of all involved. But that is some serious bad PR for them. Their trucks go way faster than anyone as it is.

    I know right! I'm sure glad I wasn't going north this morning I got in this morning from Willows! Willows is a meet spot where we switch trailers at the hotel with the guys from up north. Pretty sad what happened to those kids and FXF is gonna be paying out some money for this one along with bad press.

    No. They are not. At least not in all regions. In my neck of the woods, they run 68.
