Help with truck spec

Currently running a t880 at the company I’m at it’s a smaller bunk definitely smaller than 62 but I love it! I never scale so no idea what she weighs full of fuel. Thanks tho I do like them forsure.

 

Lol yup very true

 

It’s not an awful company or anything like that. It was pretty good except my last load left a bad taste in my mouth.
First the good-
-Majority of Equipment was pretty decent just not the right specs for the work done.
-Dispatch was good I loved my dispatcher Jodi she was nice friendly and great at her job always got me home.
-Ben the recruiter was the most honest guy ever didn’t hide anything and we are still friends to this day.

Now the bad
-We were told fridges and tv in all trucks but at the time I was there that wasn’t true I had no fridge or tv in my truck
-trailer I got was literally the oldest in the fleet lot of product would stick
-there was never any washing out between loads, normally I didn’t care most of the time but I would haul broken glass and then the next load would be wet ddgs for cattle that was just so wrong
-the safety guy was a total ### and new nothing about trucking but was buddies with the owner that’s how he
-the owner is a biz man not a down to earth man of the trucker
-again the trucks were spec’d as if it were an Otr dry van or refer. Super singles, no lockers, automatics, trailer skirts etc. it was just about fuel mileage. We went to mason city cement plant with clay a lot personally I’d go twice a week. Not sure you ever been there but it sucks. And with our trucks we would get stuck or just sit and spin nearly every time especially if it had rained at all.
-the pay was not the greatest for Otr. Most weeks I’d make less than $1000. To get the 3% extra your truck has to make $4000 and then the next load or loads you get 3% more but I think I got it maybe once. Usually I’d hit 4K delivering my last load for the week.
-My last awful load! Now I quit because I had a child at home that became very ill and I needed to go back to driving local to be there. On my last load which I wasn’t even supposed to have because I needed to get back to the terminal because I had a rental car ordered for the next morning. They gave me a 13/ton Load which is not even worth it. The place I loaded had no scale and loaded from above your trailer opening big bin with jaws. You were supposed to watch gauges and wave at the guy to close the gates when close. I waved like crazy he finally shut it. I knew I was way way over. I asked can I dump some off they had no place to dump and wouldn’t let me. I called dispatch cause I knew there was a scale in route. They told me the route to take to try and bypass the scale. Well at 11pm on a side road near scale a state trooper pulled me over cause he knew I was on that road to get around scale. He made me follow him to the scale and I was over 8k on my rear. So I had to sit there until tomorrow when one of our trucks came and I shoveled alone 8000lbs from my trailer into his. My ticket was $1,600 for bypassing scale and over weight. After missing my last day date, shoveling and such they wouldn’t pay the ticket for me!
Sorry so long but there’s my story iv had worse at other companies but that last load definitely was bs!

 

Back to the topic at hand I’m looking for more detailed answers like gear ratio, axle weights, horse power, wheelbase

 

Oh hippie that guy is awesome he was still a driver when I was there. That guy and his shorts and sandals slopping around in a dirty end dump hilarious. Such a helpful guy tho he would do anything for anyone. So who do you drive for?
