    In Florida, 1 front and 1 rear car for 14'-16'

    I did a 14'6" load in January from MN to Miami, from KY all the way down I had 1 front and 1 rear car.

    Nope, wrong color.

    I think one with 3 axles will be good enough. Just thoughts for now anyway. I sure like having been home every weekend this year, minus two.

    Are you sure of that? The guys here are saying they have been running it with 2 rear, none in the front.

    Just pulled my permit up, it says two escorts, doesn't stipulate where they are supposed to be. I had one out front, and one out back. Went thru 2 or 3 scales that way, nothing was ever said.

    Need what I got in it sell it but the TK140 I was talking would be a nice setup.

    Say hello to him for me - he really helped Me out when I was in a bind. And tell that old cranky guy in Aurora hello as well and that I am still plugging away.
