Not Gonna Mess With It

If you got a Volvo some Steers are rated at 13200. If not I would still go with it.

Never had to slide my fifth wheel yet, and some of those beer load, man they push the limits. I'm sure it would be different if I didn't drive a newer freightliner, things are made of plastic these days.

 

AB are experts, they get every 12 pack on.

 

13,000. Unless you're in oregon.

 

You ain't kidding. Pulled up to scale house at AB St. Louis was only like 75500, sent us back around to load more. Came back to scale and was at 79500.

 

Should of asked for a case for the go around And make it cold

 

I'm sure everyone knows about steertire rating for that weight. NE DOT wore out ole Hill Bros with the 780 Volvos. If I remember right, 13 ply?

 

I know on my freightliner, about 75% of fuel weight add/burn is realized in the steer weight

 

Let a few pounds of air out of your steers.

 

Hang the outside tires off the platform if you can, just half a tire along one side. he he he.

That dates back to when richmond north defended the area with the old platforms in the woods which is now close to 295 I think. Especially in a storm.
