[QUOTE="TripleSix, post: 11712634, member: 28058"]The spread. The majority of states will give you 34k on drives and 40k on the spread, BUT still can’t gross more than 80k. Basically because they are spread so far apart, they get the same rating as a single axle, 20k each. EDIT… BTW, the lower the rpm, the easier it is to downshift. 1100-1200, quick blip of the throttle and you’re in. The higher the starting rpm, the higher the engine has to rev.[/QUOTE]
