    Oh no iam on medical leave right now
    An I was only a company drone
    To own my own truck would be a ultimate goal
    However it is prolly far fetched especially with all the things I would want plus my credit is possible the most ridiculous on earth so it ain't even possible the only route would be to fleece somewhere an I've looked an some are good tho it still ain't how I would want it setup

    Yeah I hear yeah I mite have found a company here today tht does dry van an hopper an the hopper
    Pays 85% gross of load if you have trlr

    Tho it would be like bullhaulin without all the chicken lites ...fast an heavy

    The good thing is the have company drivers also

    So I can see how the O/O side works while gettn paid to haul the goods an get training all in one

    I live in Kansas great state for hopper work I just never pulled a spread axle

    Don't those trlrs have an air dump for turnin corners an reducing weight on the front axle

    Move over I gotta go

    im running super singles on my dump trailer with a air inflation system and like them they seam to float better and dig in less in soft dirt and seem to pick up less punctures than duals but i woulden't want them on my drives

    Some of your trailers have dump axles. I pulled a spread flatbed for awhile for my dad until I got my own and I liked the spread on it and doesn't dump yet but is in the works
     
    SweetDaddy2 Thanks this.

    I have ss on my hopper now. They are junk. They wear uneven they wear out in half the miles that duals would. And when you blow one you are fixin it where it blows. I blew one a few weeks ago and the only thing that saved the rim was that it blew the airbag at the same time. Junk as far as I'm concerned. If anybody wants to swap for some 11r24.5's I will do the swapping for you
     
    Cetane+ Thanks this.

    Yeah I've pretty well decided I'm keeping the 24.5s going to lo pros when it needs tires. And try to lose weight some other way
