    Can it actually pull, or is it just a show piece?

    What are the rules on frame length for a tandem?

    Brand new (no logos or DOT number) with Beacons. Most likely an over size hauler. My bet is a work truck that plans on so much downtime they can justify the cost of the sleeper.

    I am not aware of a legal max wheel base. Penile extension type trucks down here aim for 300" or more.

    There was some..............some...............some dude that passed me four different times on the way home on Thanksgiving with a super sleeper flatbed. Always doing 78 to 81 on my radar.

    Whenever this happens, always think of the hare and the tortoise teaching.

    Quality?? One may have, or have had, more "Stuff" than the others but there was not difference in actual quality. The Columbia was the truck to replace the FLD, but it never came close to being half as good of a truck as the FLD. FLD and Classics of old were probably the best and toughest trucks that Freightliner ever made. IMHO

    Early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. Slow/steady is more sure. Just close the d*** door and drive it.
