    Dont know, friend. It's one of our owner ops. Looks to me like he's moving stuff around himself. I thought about laughing, but that could be construed as rude. Can't be rude to a working man.

    I'm With you Oscar, I have and like the manual adjustment.but be carful if you go into Washington state. Last two times I went in there they split my tridem, I put 18k on the steers and 58,500 on drives.
    He split weigh'd me at 12,500 on lift and 46 on drives. No ticket but made me correct it.
    Darn lawmen gettin pretty smart.

    I've not heard of WA doing that, thanks for the heads up. IL, WY and MO have gotten a couple of our guys, I normally try to keep the lift within 1000lbs of the drives.

    Ohio will do it to, I try to explain to my boss that just because it say 60,000 on a platform doesn't mean I'm legal.

    Could have been well over $3k as they could have written each axle, the 2 axle group and pulled my $600 permit

    Yes the controls for mine are outside the cab

    And it will only be worse with my new trailer
