Millis OTR journal

Wait?! They aren’t?! I was lied to then!!!
Lol I see that I understand you can pack the weight on those trailers.
Makes for a long run through the Virginia’s and Pennsylvania up slow down fast up slow down fast! Rinse and repeat

 

It's all about the weight savings. I think it's something like 400 pounds per axle in weight savings. With all the heavy loads we pull (beer, in particular) Millis wants to be able to promise customers that we can haul more than the other guy for less money. I hate them too, though. Like you said, they don't track as well as duals, and I cannot see them in my mirrors nearly as well when I'm crossing scales that weigh by the axle and I can't see my drives when backing under a trailer. It's annoying at best.

I thought the woman at the scale house on NB I75 between Albany and Atlanta was gonna whip my butt one day because I kept overshooting her scale.

 

I love it when I'm heavy and I'm pulling Monteagle and still passing other trucks. Almost makes me think I'm in a big truck for a minute.

 

Tuning in.

 

I have done this too a few times
I always think dam I’m heavy as hell and passing you?

 

That makes me think of this... which I also think of every time I am pulling a heavy beer load.
