    Headboards and tire chains and things add up fast. I had an ‘85 Freightliner COE that hit 24,000lbs full of fuel.

    Spec your truck and trailer with super singles and you will save about 1600 pounds on the whole setup... 400 pounds per axle.

    Yes for the service call... But lack of traction is BS. Ran barefoot over many many snowy mountain passes pushing snow with the front bumper, only ever spun out once.
