    I'm starting to see a lot more of the super single gators on the roadside. Those things look like a 55 gallon drum thats been cut in half, lol!

    You'll start see more now that the companies are capping them. You'll see the most in the hot states. We did convince the boss that it was cheaper to run new tires because we run fancy fenders and a cap will distroy them. It cost more to fix a damaged truck from a cap than to just buy new ones.

    But on congears theres really nothing it's going to distroy. The safety remains the same because they just don't blow out . You have some side wall to stop on. That's the way it was for me anyway.
