    Every time truckers get a raise, they increase the length of the trailer and the max weight to compensate. Every 4 loads you haul is one less driver they have to pay that higher rate to, so the Man is actually moving more freight for less money.

    If stopping ability was important, I guess all new trucks and trailers would come with disc brakes.
    Our federal government could require a shorter stopping distance.

    I never hauled over 43k. In a dry box
    But I don't trust these disc brakes. They don't feel right.

    hauling 107k gross in ny with 6 axles and full disks that truck would stop on a dime and bring back change, they are nothing like the pos bendix disks from the 80s of that is what your gripe is from
