Where is everyone #5

I priced a Timpte back in February, 50*84*102 white, triple axle with front and rear lift, stainless front corners and rear panel, 3 rows of 9 lights, 5 on rear corner posts, 7 lights on rear header, air ride, aluminum wheels, electric tarp. $58,900. I said see ya later.

 

I quoted a 43x78x96 black sides, 2 rows of 11, stainless back, air plumbed, electric tarp, commodity hoppers, aluminum sub frame and fifth wheel. We was at 52k and I didn't have everything I wanted yet. They come looked at my triple for trade and never heard anything back from them so I'm still running my triple. I'm 31500 with 3/4 tanks. It'll hold 32 ton of ddg pretty easily. I pulled the lift axle off the truck since I been running out of state.

 

Mines a 2015 50x78x96 and it was 52k new. I traded in the the exact same two year old trailer except I added a front lift to this one and we swapped for 10k. It was gonna need tires, brakes, and a tarp before long and that front lift was a $2500 option.

 

Holding 32 and scaling it are two different animals. Arkansas has an 80k limit on a divisible load regardless of axles on the ground. Longer and more axles wont help me

 

@DDlighttruck Did you decide to take the short route to Phoenix or come over to the left coast and make a vacation of your trip?

 

I forgot to mention the one I was quoted is a 2018 model

 

Yeah that's why I was looking to go back to a tandem. I just drug one up here from Missouri yesterday but they are 88k on a tandem and Iowa you need a triple or a axle on the truck. Loaded off a farm on a slope. I was 90460 when I dumped.

 

We are headed to Missouri next. Whats it like up there so far this year?

 

Timpte starts making new model years in April. I ordered my 2015 in March and it took six weeks to get the quote. They had only built 9 triples with front lifts and engineering was redesigning it. Finally got it in June. You have to watch the build dates. Mine is actually over three years old.
