    Air-Weigh

    Anyone have one of these things? Do they work good? Where can you get one online? I found the TT and trailer only models at a farm equipment shop but they don't list the straight truck one, nearest I could figure on price by subtracting the price of the trailer version from the TT version...

    Straight Truck GVW by state

    Is there a chart/table that lists single vehicle or straight truck (3 axle) maximum GVW by state or does someone know if WA state has something other than 34K + 12K = 46K. I came across something that seems to indicate there is a 40K cap however the bridge formula tables and RCW's mention...

    Straight Truck Lifts

    For those using a lift, what brand, style of lift do you have? What do you like/not like about it and why? I see the tuck under seems the most common, but what about a railgate or slider - anyone using one of those?

    Pete 386 Straight Truck

    Yesterday I got a very brief look (truck headed other way on the highway) at a Peterbilt 386 straight truck, looked to have either a 36" or 48" flat top sleeper and probably a 24 foot box, dual chrome everything up front, tandem drives. First one I've seen, and it looked pretty cool. Anyone...

    M2 Brakes & Bags

    2004 M2 w/ air. How well do linings wear and how often do the brakes in general need inspection? Also, lately I've noticed the air bags are sometimes (but not always) totally collapsed when the truck is parked overnight - doesn't seem to matter if loaded/empty, parking brake set or not...

    T/T Gap

    Anyone know what is the minimum tractor - trailer gap with/without cab extensions? I realize this can vary according to what trailer and if it has a refer or not but is there a generally accepted figure for "most" trailers? How much do most 5th's move forward/back?

    LDB - some questions on your W9

    If things work out I'm hoping to put together a T8 or W9, I know you prefer the 660 for a number of reasons but I really like the traditional look. It will be used mostly for local cross border P&D and maybe some regional runs. If the dimensions work out I'm looking at a W900S (short, sloped...

    Lifts

    Just wondering what your preferences for lifts are - tuck under, rail gate, slider? I was thinking a rail gate would be good for a couple or reasons. First is they don't seem to get beat up the way a lot of tuck unders do, generally have larger platforms, don't interfere with an ICC bumper and...

    Baby Freightshaker/Dodge Sprinter vs. Ford/Chevy/GMC

    I'm talking cutaway chassis-cab-box van models of the Freightshaker/Dodge Sprinter and how they stack up against against Ford and Chevy/GMC's version. It seem initial cost of the sprinter is higher and engine choice is limited on the Ford, I don't know much of anything about the GM engines...

    Truck Length

    Just having a read through exclusions to length measurement to stay under 40ft. - As I read the list it seems that a rear mounted lift (such as a railgate) would NOT be included in the measurement. Anyone agree or disagree with this interpretation...
