    Well I went throw the loves tire pass. One trailer tire only had 60 psi they took it off didn't find a leak ( free as he didn't charge me). Got to get new steers put on one is barely legal so I'm getting them now. My front axles free spin when brakes are set.

    Steen axle or front drive axle? Steer axle doesn't have parking brakes, not all tandem trucks have parking brakes on both drive axles either.

    Correct me if I'm wrong...

    The steering axle should have a "pancake" style brake chamber.....thinner than the larger style brake chambers which include your parking brakes. I have parking brakes on only 1 drive axle.

    Good luck.

    Scarry but some tractors do only have parking brakes on one drive axle.

    You are assigned a coordinator that offers loads to you. You can accept the load offered or choose any load off the load board that you want .

    Did this change? I was under the impression you could use the coordinator or take your loads off the board, depending on how you wanted to run things. Anyone clear this up for me, please?
