    Just me, but I’d roll with that.

    Fuel stops would obviously have to be more frequent though.

    12K on the steers, then you added fuel.

    Just run a quarter. Or if you know where the scales are go a bit over.

    Many, many times flirted with max weights, and had to stop and get 25 or 30 gallons, depending on where the scales were.

    Barely under is under.

    34K is legal.

    When we pulled in this Ambest The OM was on the dash, and most of the drivers got out of their rigs, and were fist pumping going.....

    The Ambest in Ozona tx was a moon cratered dive but the restaurant was awesome.

    Lower back is feeling it now. I have to fingerprint these loads, and some of it is quite heavy.

    Under 60 pounds if it's a few items, depending on the level of cluster, I'll walk into receiving.

    The last load was the ### stomper. It was heavy. Lot's of BIG pieces, and AFU.

    Moved a lot of stuff two and three times.

    I really should stop jumping out of the trailer.

    jumped off the roof of the elementary school a couple times when I was a kid. No wonder my knees hurt.

    May need to pack a heat pad.

    Clearly you have worked too hard for the OM, she’s just wiped out.
