Best company to bring a 4 axle for heavy haul

Current ride is a 386 with 244wb 450 isx and a 10sp

 

Nice. You work for jj Williams they're pretty decent outfit aren't they?

 

Yea pretty good but just like system they are going down hill towards the starter kinda company. We are nw regional with tankers and hoppers.

 

Ya I live just south of Spokane cda see you guys running around all the time

 

Im in postfalls. I did 104,000 miles and run between Spokane and Seattle or Portland and occasionally Bosie running flour and chemicals.

 

You would probably be pretty safe with a truck specd at 270-290 for a set forward axle and 244-270 with a set back front axle with a 9'6 min on the lift to rear axle spread.

Not sure where you are located but here in the northwest the spreads are measured on 6" increments for there weight raitings. The other key to truck specs is getting one heavy enough to take the extra abuse of the added weights but yet light enought to still pack as much payload as possible. At my company we try for 60,000 pound payload minimums.

 

I see some people here living in Spokane CDA area, I live in CDA! I am working on my CDL right now and just saw an add by System for MAXI drivers with very good starting pay. Is that something a beginning driver should even be looking at? How difficult is a MAXI compared to a dry van or flatbed?

 

Try Whitewood out of Billings. All owner ops

 

I am not interested in becoming an owner op just yet, just wondering if MAXI hauling is a feasible idea for a rookie or not, because I don't see any experience requirement in the listing, and pay starts over 50cpm
