    I like the color as well! But of course they are going to put on their decals that in my opinion don't look that good and take away from how clean it could look. I can't recall axle ratio off top of my head right now, but double frame, 18speed, Cummins ISX 600hp, full locking main diff, 16.5 front end with 425/65r22.5 steer and dual steering box, Hendrickson tough lift fmt 25k pusher with 285/75r24.5 for pusher and drives, full gauges, governed at 68 for most company trucks, plus the normal chrome and lights, strobes, mirrors, apu, inverter/fridge.

    Nice. I can't remember, you run out of Colorado Springs? I will have to keep my eye out for you, now that I will be able to spot you. I run out of Denver.

    I am out of Pueblo, I've seen you a few times out on road but by the time I recognized your truck it was already to late to say anything or hop off the road

    Indeed, lately been staying mostly Midwest and south east since I went to 7 and 8 axle. Only real time been back around home is when I do go home, usually for 5-8 days at a time

    Been almost no 8 axle freight around here for a while. I been running mostly TX and CA, as 6/7 axle - my normal winter avoid the snow strategy. Not sure what I am going to haul next week but need to go back to work now that truck is out of the body shop and the hood is the right color again

    Bet you are happy the hood is finally done! I haven't had to use my stinger for quite a few weeks now, was supposed to grab it a few weeks ago but that load got pushed back and then they put it on another guy since I headed home for Christmas. Might try to move up to 9 axle later this year if things work out, but don't want to give up the new truck

    Well, I just ordered a west coast 2/3/2 with a build date in April so I am of the same mind. I keep trying to find some 8 axle loads but nothing. There was a 96k load but that is just a little too heavy for my setup
     
    skootertrashr6 Thanks this.

    You can't scale 96? Heck with my heavy stretch I can go 94. Figured you could do 96 on 8.
