    Look at the load. Then imagine you are travelling at 65mph and having to apply max brake to avoid taking out a 4 wheeler full of nuns who just cut you off because they missed the exit to the local IHOP. Then make big boy decisions on whether your load would be able to withstand the force created in the aforementioned situation.

    Mercer was posting some stuff for an ext rgn 50' long and about 55k for about $3.80 a mile from MS to TX but to ease the pain they said they would cover pilot cars and permits. LOL
    Funny thing is the postings have been removed from FRI to today so I wonder if someone really accepted that ?

    Max brakes is to save my life...like if a bridge fell as I was approaching. Those nun's had better be quick with the prayers.
