    The Century was actually my favorite. I'd be interested in a Century if it was of good value.

    I was referring more to the ones you see pulling containers around Chicagoland or Amazon trailers anywhere else.

    I actually have more trouble with the unmuffled TriPac parked on one side, and the clapped-out reefer that sounds like a dive bomber on my other side.

    And I voted wrong, too. I thought it was
    going to be "Which manufacturer do you prefer."

    7 out of 10 times it's some local yocal in an old Pete or KW... The rest of the time its some O/O in a smashed to hell 'n' gone, ex-mega fleet truck.

    Especially anal about air
    during winter season. Park truck with trailer brakes released and truck holds air all night. Eliminates frozen trailer brakes.
    Also makes one less thing to think/worry about, going through scales.
     
    lovesthedrive and Swine hauler Thank this.
