    If you bring the trailer forward you put more weight on the steers.. not sure about your fifth wheel... some few hundred lbs per hole...

    Sorry... my memory is bad and I don't have my notes here... can't remember if it were 250 lbs... but that depends some on the fifth wheel I guess.

    Go for the Volvo! Wonderful driving truck. I said it before.... Especially in the mountains. Working the engine brake and all. Works so good together. It's like playing a piano duet with a partner who really knows what he's doing. ..... In contrast... My new Peterbilt was like playing a piano duet with a partner who hasn't learned how to play piano yet.
    I woudn't hesitate on a Volvo. But act like it to the salesman.

    It's 250 or 500 depending on the plate.

    I don't like the way they shake around when you get passed. And I get passed a lot.
