Switching trucks

Yup. . . . just yup. Try switching to a daycab after a Kenny or a Pete, and you'll feel like you are a speeding yard jockey. It's just totally natural; you'll see Monday. I'm happy for ya!
Are you bobtailing back? If not, remember the tandems on your reefer can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Weight accounted for ... of course, but you get my point, I'm sure.

 

I inherently swing wider anyhow. I've only ever pulled tridems and spread axles so.....

 

You either love it or hate it. Peronally I like having eyes on hands on and control of my load rather than relying on some guy on a fork lift filling a box. They ask me how I want it loaded rather than do whatever. Flatbedders are also another community in and of itself. Can't tell you how many times I have been at a shipper and 3 or 4 of us being strangers gang banged all the loads and had them ready in no time.

 

^^^ Look at some of the pics and posts by these big boys. It still amazes me, and I'm old!!!! I haul the occasional flats in the winter on my tanker off-time, and leme tell ya... yes, they are a breed of their own. Much respect. And yeah, lots of work... and securement is paramount!

 

You talking the hoods or the aero pete/kw's. Wasn't that all impressed with the handling of the 8 bag setup at all, but loved it on the t800 on dirt dragging a 4 axle coiled tubing unit up a steep lease road. The ch macks with hendrickson air ride rode smoother than the few long hoods i've been in

 

I'm talking hoods. Not sure what OP is getting Monday or Tuesday, tho.

 

Ahhh gotcha. I'd still take a hood over these aero throw away made in mexico
