    I guess you are running these for the weight savings , is it worth it. Looks like when they blow it can do a lot of damage. I'm not trying to be a smart a$# , I've never been around the super singles. Just wondering how much weight do they save , I know you're paid on tonnage.

    Well it's 2 to 3 days for a dry box. I kind of want to keep the step deck. I don't know if I can keep the headache rack and pull a van.

    How much does it weigh with all your stuff in it?

    That would be a reason to take it off.

    Some loads are 44K, even 45K.

    Not saying you want to target those necessarily, but if it's a direct customer, and gets you out of a #### hole place like Philadelphia, and back into the freight lanes, you're going to want to be able to pull it.

    Several years ago when they were just throwing money, there were these loads from up the top of I-29 that would go all the way back to Tucson.

    One(1) and one(1).

    Weighed 45K. We'd be like 79,800 on about a quarter(1/4) of a tank, and could axle out.

    So if that thing with all the stuff in it is a thousand(1000) pounds, then I'd definitely dump it.
