    If my trl. axles start sliding, it means something broke. Not a good thing.
    Seeing how I have no sliders on my axles.

    That's better then what PA was. I got popped for $300+ one time when I couldn't slide a set due to a malfunction. I was picking up an M/T at one of our customers and had just 30 miles to run to get it fixed at our shop. The local cop who wrote me up said I should have had road service fix it.

    That's one of the best perks to driving a tanker. The tandems are what they are:biggrin_25519:

    You could have killed someone driving with those axles in the wrong spot! LOL! Probably would have only cost you $1500 to have road service fix it so the ticket was a deal!

    Exactly. This is where some of the retarded things the law does that doesn't make any sense.

    For one he was empty so being too heavy on the drives wasn't an issue so paying extra money to have road service fix it is ludicrous.

    Besides, is road service even capable of making that kind of roadside repair? Seems to me like this needed to be fixed in a shop.
