    I had super singles on when I worked for New Century. My wife was riding with me at the time, we were headed towards home on I70 in Pa when I blew a passenger side drive. Wife was standing in the sleeper making coffee when it came apart. Truck never wiggled, I was running around 72 and rounding a left hand curve when it blew. Scared the heck out of the wife!

    Glad you didn't have a major spill. And glad you didn't flip Harry's truck. Gary would have had a fit!!!

    There's plenty of people running super singles in the rain and snow and not flipping their trucks. Simple as that.

    How long did you work there? 2005 to 2013 was enough for me. Really went downhill once Harry walked away.
