    I was bobtailing the other day. I think I set off every one it had....stability, sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration.

    I'd much rather be loaded heavy than have an empty or lightweight load any day. Especially in the winter time or on windy weather days.

    I heard moving your tandems back as far as you can helps. I usually have them back anyway when i have a dry van on so i never tested this theory.
