    I have so many hats now, I don't know where to put them all.

    Hopper trains are fun. Stupid easy work. Open tarp, drive under chute, tell loader the weights I want where, wait... drive out, close tarps, drive away.

    48 tons of white potash from Esterhazy, SK. Loaded to the max and that's all I'm going to say. I feel like I barely get to pull a skateboard anymore, lol. But hey, it's slow right now and I'm getting full days, so I can't complain. And I'll take Super-B's in any form any day of the week. My truck loves to pull 130,000+ and asks for more.

    Run all over, in Canada can't have 4th axle down so good for 46,500 / 102,300 - in US with 4th axle down am good for 96,500 I believe.

    I know steps mutli-axle are not common... Keep your eye out on your travels through the GTA you might catch the step-deck with a 5 legger (1-3-1 setup) the only one I have seen so far...

    Nothing is universal in the US it varies state by state, in Ohio you would be good for 80,000.

    That's interesting. I know there are 4 axle steps with QC spread floating around and even those are an uncommon sight.

    Well the front axle still has room to lift, not sure what size tires they run exactly.

    That's cheating lol. My axles don't lift running a tight 4 in the back. Still a pain
