    Geez, put 4 drivers in a round room and tell them to pee in the corner and there would be an argument on the right way to do it.
    Let's ask the pros-
    Fueled by overwelming customer demand, Swift continues to expand service-intensive Heavy Haul operations in the Pacific Northwest.
    • 24’ and 40’ Doubles Trailer (Roll Door)
    • Gross Weight Capacity: to 62,000 lbs. and 5095 cube
    • 53’ Quad-Axle Dry Vans
    • Gross Weight Capacity: to 62,000 lbs.
    • 53’ Tri-Axle Reefers
    • Gross Weight Capacity: to 52,000 lbs. and 4250 cube
    There you go, Heavy Haul defined.

    Id say a typical 3 axle tractor would be any old mega fleet specced truck you can find in stock on any dealer lot.

    I'm sure you know what i mean. 1/4 inch frame, 12k lb front axle with 34 36k lb rears, 9 or 10 speed transmission, 1650 ft lb clutch, etc etc.

    It's an unwritten rule, gotta be one good hijack.

    So what's more versatile, low pro step or a double drop?

    And why are there double drops with no rgn? I asked an older guy that awhile back and he said there's no such thing, a double drop is an rgn and and rgn is a double drop. But I've seen a couple around, fixed neck.
