Best company to bring a 4 axle for heavy haul

Maybe find the company before buying a truck. That way you can buy a truck that is specs to fit the need of the company you plan to lease it onto.

 

This is the best advice. I haul northwest heavy and have spent the last year studying bridge charts and playing with wheelbase and axle spreads to find the right combo to go with on specs when I move from a company truck to leasing my own to this outfit. You know how hard it is to get a 12'6" lift to rear drive axle spread and keep the lift out from under the sleeper and stay close to 75' overall lenght.

 

Ya isn't that 12'6" a sweet rule. Makes you so long you end up with to much off track for certain highways if your pulling a 53 quad. I always thought that was a crazy rule

 

Yea my issue is trying to bridge 88,000 on a 6 axle inner bridge in Oregon.

 

I don't have lift on but I got one sitting in corner of the shop. Always specd my trucks out so I could if I needed to add one and I end up with 300 inch wheelbase lol.

 

Im looking at a short hood 389 with a 63in bunk with current spread of 190,63,54 for a 280" wb with a 9'9 spread. If I can get my drunk squirrels to sober up and line up for a spring time purchase Im looking at them changing it to a 180,99,54 which will put me at 306 with a 12'9 spread.

 

That'll be a nice setup.

 

Yea. 2015 with 99,000 on the clock. Only a 13.2 front end but sittin on 385/75/22.5's heavy 40 rears with 3.55's but would need to change from 11r24.5 to 11r22.5 to lower the 5th wheel and its a 550/1850 ISX with and 18sp.

 

That's a sharp looking ride. That be great maxi truck
