    make sure you scale when picking up from Baxter- Marion, NC...I think what's loaded in the trailer is heavier
    than what is on the paper. My paperwork said 43,969 but I maxed out at 79,780.....plus I had to slide the
    fifth wheel to get legal.....usually don't have to do that.....
    according to my calculations, that's about 1600 lbs over what it should be .......

    You must have been following me. I have been here at chestnut all night. My Marion load doesn't deliver till Tuesday morning, so I dropped it and waiting for another load. Maybe I can borrow some of your chrome polish to use while I am waiting :)

    I saw your truck....you don't need any polish....they got enough shine as is.....I have to go back to the yard after I get unloaded out of here...
    My pickup truck had a flat last night so I'll have to get it fixed before I leave.....really unusual, my tires are only about 8 months old....always something!

    Sounds like a good deal... 106rr is real good... Your not gonna get much better than that with going to super singles... If you don't mind me asking did Sunco finace any of them? Because it sound like a good deal when I need tires!

    They are renting spots on the company yards since Celadon does not have location close.

    Good deal!! Depending on what you had on there you may see a huge difference in fuel... The right tires make a huge difference... I looked those toyo's up... I think you made a wise investment!!!
