I never scaled it. I just went off my air gauges.

 

But what's she lookin' like there? Heavy to the back?

 

Yes. It was belly loaded evenly. Even with the 5th wheel forward, and the tandems slid back, there wasn't as much weight on the truck.

I should've put one full row of skids farther ahead of the "center group", and put the one single one at the back of the trailer. I don't know if because it's liquid it would've helped or not. Definitely a learning experience.

It pulled heavy, too. I'm hoping someone smarter than me can explain it, it's almost like it takes more nuts to get that much liquid moving.

 

Liquid carries more inertia, or as physics defines it, "resistance to movement".

Like with stopping, except vice-versa. The liquid wants to remain in it's current position, and will resist the pull of the container it's in by shifting. Something solid is easier to get moving because it doesn't shift.

At least that's how I understand it.

 

Ya have to love prime drivers tarping skills. Look at that form, that attention to detail.

I'm in awwww

 

Could be a big one of these?

 

Is that a Michelin Man in black?

 

I stand corrected. I must have mispoke (as the politicians say). What I posted was actually an Insulated Hazardous Material Transport Vessel.

 

I ain't got a picture of one of those ....

 

That thing is pretty hazardous to the people in front of it!
