Heavy Haul Miscellaneous Thoughts, Ideas and Questions

I thought I would start a thread where HH drivers could bounce ideas off of each other, ask questions or stuff that may or may not be worthy of starting a thread for.




If you take two identically spec'd 3 axle RGN's, and the only difference between the two is one is a mechanical and the other a hydraulic trailer with a Honda pony motor, what would be the difference in weight between them?

 

Yeah, I have been for awhile, just can't quite convince myself to pull the trigger just yet. I looked on truckpaper a few days ago and there are some deals to be had on them, for new anyhow. I think the oil fields slowing down has made some of these dealers rethink prices they previously had on new units already in stock.

 

I agree, I'm growing very tired of this mechanical trailer. But if it adds to much weight it might be a deal breaker for me as far as staying on 7 axles.
