    If you started a couple three big ol bores in Peoria, IL and ran strait through to Bakersfield it would be pretty close to a flat run.

    Could get the eco mob to buy into it if you made the tunnels bug enough to put down some high speed and freight rail tracks and run the water under the tracks.

    Good point, and that’s my disconnect.

    Why would you hire someone that would curb the tandems. Why would you have trainers that don’t teach the new driver how to properly watch their tandems to avoid destroying the tandems.

    I know we can take this into the minutiae from a financial point of view, but honestly I’m selfish and only thinking about making me as efficient as possible. :D

    So you would not have a problem with it becoming the water gateway to Cali?

    I feel like a lil kid that tied their shoes by themselves for the first time today lol. I was able to put the rear trailer on a door, first time I have ever done that. I'm sure there was plenty of luck involved but it still felt good.

    Plus, in its former life, it was a steer tire with all of the above going wrong with it. They pulled it from the tractor and mounted it on a trailer to get some more use out of it.
