    No friend. I was just thinking of what happens when you have a 4 axle truck under a short neck trailer. Just realized I quoted your post. Sorry about that.

    We had an older driver (I use that term loosely) that always carried his pin in the shorter hole and his fifth wheel back pretty far. I asked him about it and he blew me off as usual. The one time he hauled the 336 he got weighed and had 6500 on the steer, I asked him how he could even steer. He blew me off.

    Sorry for this response, I was tired and not feeling well. I didn't intend for it to sound like a jerk, we can delve deeper if you're interested but I have opinions that might not be popular.

    Ok kinda off topic but similar. Ive been Michigan and seen those flatbeds and tankers with like 7 axles how easy or hard are those to turn? Id think if u had all 7 axles down it be dragging alot of tires. Alot of them seem to be canadian too. Is that just a Canadian setup ?
