    Quick first run just 2 days out and back to get the hang of the new truck. Both loads under 13' tall.
    If anyone is interested in my unladen weight, I scaled 11,700 steer and 14,060 tandems (80% DEF and around 280 gal of diesel).
    Didn't get a chance to scale loaded but I have been let go on i95 SB VA scale house.

    Someone else prolly asked on here but is that front axle a tag setup? Or just running one wheel on it instead of duals?

    Yea a super single would fit. Seen a similar truck with super singles all around.
    When I have some extra cash I'll swap them for supersingles

    If you don't need the extra weight rating I'd forgo that. Super singles are expensive and no real benefit other than weight rating. For that you have the extra expense of a good chance of needing a new rim anytime you get a flat. Plus,, and this could be simply companies I've worked for, that super singles get very poor traction in ice and snow.

    Even if I keep the duals on the rear axle and swap out just the singled out front axle for supers?
