Now he’s getting a Jeep and stinger

Shh....

 

Admittedly I have little experience beyond my little 50 ton Aspen, and I am not aware of what his Fontaine is rated at, but I am surprised that he can just keep adding components. It seems that necks are designed such that one can't just add longer and longer flip boxes. I would have assumed that a neck built for a jeep would have been designed heavier to accommodate the extra length of a longer flip.

Just observations from someone with no experience with such things.

 

Thanks for the video, I am from Ontario and did not know about this company. Not like I am planning to buy one in the future but is good knowledge.

 

I refuse to watch his videos anymore but I think it’s a 60 ton.

 

I would think with his business model an east coast super trailer would limit his operating area. Are they recognized in western Canada? I know theres a decent portion of the western US that you can’t run them. Another rate cutter.

 

Aspen, a Western Canadian company, makes a lot of nitro boosters etc., and I see them advertised in oil field country, so I assume they are allowed in BC and Alberta at least, but not sure. I don't think they allow lift axles on tractors though.

It seems like he could get close to 60 ton without a jeep with his tractor and a stinger. I wonder how much gain he will actually net weight-wise.

Once you have a jeep the lift axle on his tractor would seem unnecessary for 60 ton.

 

Yeah you’re right about the nitro on Canadian trailers. That’s what I was saying about rate cutting. To make that trailer make sense both from a profit and physical sense he’s going to have to load over 60 ton. That’s the kind of stuff that aggravates Ron and I agree with him about. A 60 ton east coast is significantly cheaper than a 65 and especially a 70 ton. He’s going to overload his trailer constantly to make it make sense.

 

Ah, I get it.

I don't have the cojones to make a habit of overloading a trailer.

 

Well there’s two people that do, people with big cojones and people that are to dumb to understand what they’re doing. One group is much bigger than the other.
