    I think my lift axle is around 35psi. Set it off your axle guage. Should run about 59psi. I set mine on the scale when I buy a new one and leave it alone.

    I haven't posted much mainly because Truckers Report has become a newbie forum.

    All I have is RUMORS lol. I heard that Turner Grain filed for federal bankruptcy protection. That the owner was in the nut house, and there was some embezzling going on. When I sent them a certificate of my insurance 2 weeks ago they changed their name to Brinkley Truck brokers. I ran a week for them not sure how thats gonna turn out for me. But I also heard that they had 2 million dollars worth of a farmers grain no matter how stout you are that will be a hard lick to swallow.

    The newbies come on here thinking everything there trainers have told them is the gospel truth,then a more experienced member tries to correct them they get there panties in a wad & complain to the mods they are being picked on.The experienced member gets his hand slapped & threatened with getting banned,but the newbie gets to keep spreading his bull. I'm sure you won't agree with this but that is to be expected.

    I read about this on new ag talk & there are a couple on there that say they are owed money by Turner. A lot of people are going to be hurting when this is over,not just farmers.

    I appreciate yours and WH's opinions on this. :biggrin_25514: This group has my utmost respect for being such a good group to deal with. I really hope that you all would help us in the future, when you do see problematic members as you are describing here, report them so that they are on our radar. We try to handle everything promptly, but when people report problems, it makes it much easier for us to stop the issues before they get too far. :biggrin_25525:
