I’ve got a 320 shovel on right now. Drives facing the back of wagon and tracks are centrées over signal light on the trailer. About 70 psi on my...
I’ve got new way suspension. Quickswap I’m not overly concerned. Unless you’re ridiculously over loaded they don’t usually bug you at the scales.
I have an idea of what I have on the drives going off my load gauge. My trailer doesn’t have one and we don’t own any trailer that has one either...
I ended up sliding it back one notch more than I’d slid it forward last night before writing this. Went to load this morning and noticed my T bar...
I have a bag pressure gauge in the tractor which helps immensely but nothing on the wagon. I’m going to see if they can plumb one in.
There aren’t too many scales around here however there are some that are essentially impossible to get around. I don’t voluntarily drive by scales...
Moving your fifth wheel shifts weight all over on the tractor. Just like your tandems on a van trailer shift between trailer and drive weight when...
Thanks. I know you want as much steer axle weight as you can but like I said I just wasn’t sure how far up you could get away with on a tandem...
I’m good for 46k on non divisible loads such as this one. We have 8 axle set ups however I was the dude with the load at the time. For future, we...
Said boat anchor from scale ticket today.
I was thinking of doing the load reversal but when I was looking at the machine, it’s pretty evenly balanced from what I could tell but it would...
I forgot to ad something! I’ve got a two pin placement for king pin on that wagon also. I’ve never measured the current hole but let’s assume...
This question is probably easily answered by some, so here I am asking. Up here in the north (Canada), you don’t see many stretched tractors...
Haha yea that has happened to me. I haul mostly equipment and big goofy things on a lowboy now. If it’s equipment I generally don’t wait too...
Oh boy lol I’d hauled a few shovels down an old old logging road but you win with that cow path lol
With LTL you’ll get paid for your drops and picks. Sometimes a drop/pick takes an hour, sometimes it takes 10 minutes. One company I worked for...
I’m fortunate that I’ve never had to work for a mega nor be on the road for more than 7-8 days at a time. With that being said, I’ve worked for...
I forgot to mention before anyone chimes in that I did have my outriggers out but you cannot see them in the picture.
11’9” wide on a less than desirable 2 lane highway. Permit is good for 12’2”. Cutting it close. Always a fun time in northern Ontario on our cow...
I’m living, breathing proof of this. Took off from trucking for 3 years and went back to wrenching. Got asked to go back to a company I’d hauled...
