    no
    10’2” spread is 40k
    So 12k steer 34k drives 40k spread
    Yes that’s more than 80, your still not allowed over 80 without permit, but front axle on trailer robs some weight from drive axle.

    I heard they have good training. But every single one of their drivers I have talked to, seems like a kool-aid drinker and unable to have their own opinion if it is different from what the company tells them to think..
    I heard they also want to to wash the truck every single week. I would get fired just because of that.
     
    OlegMel and TripleSix Thank this.
