    That’s a good point, they don’t track the same as a regular flat

    Had a set on an old 4300 I use to run. Came across the scales on 70 at the west line one day. Pulled me around back and the old fart of a dot man meet me at the truck. No good morning ,no hi how are you. Just started b itching bout the blue lights in the top of my rookie bars. I didn't say a word just reached in and grabbed my 2 lb. Hammer and wacked the top of each light to pieces. Turned and asked "happy" then left him standing there shaking his head.

    Well about 14 hours with a clean truck. Good thing I took a picture. Funny thing at this elevator. I always check wind. But it can and will change while loading. With concrete silos on each side it whips around and you dont ever know what your gonna get. Oh well make the money and wash it later.

    I was talking about tracking through turns. The king pin is probably set in 16 inches which is much shallower than a normal trailer. So you will want to swing wider

    His problem solving skills are going to be put to the test...especially when the neck slides sideways during detachment.
