yep plan on putting one more 20K airlift axle on the rear. Cabover is suprisingly light with box and 1/2 tanks 9800# on steers 22k overall. Couldn't go to an A rig with my carrier would have had to leave and spend a year with another company before they would let me sign back on. Dont...

I am planning on a cab deflector as well as third axle, know where i can get a deflector cheap?

Agrosy was way to expensive to buy couldnt find one under 22k got this tractor out of california for 6k. Did not want to have a note on a truck anymore with the way things are. No pictures of build was in to much of a hurry to get it on the road! Over all length is 39ft just got room for a...

Thought i would inform the forum of my recent adventures to see what you guys thought of this. As you are all no doubt aware the expedite freight rates are in the toilet. It is almost impossible now to make a decent living. So in an effort to go down swinging I sold my truck....great truck I...

whats this truck weigh? Seems to me that the engine is really underpowered for anything appoarching 25k 250hp puts you in the hino performance catigory (ugg) I would dump the truck! I would guess that your never going to get it running well as its working to hard. With a 3126 I am also...

Please do a search for the hendrickson website they have great examples of how the bridge laws work, its actually not that simple two seperate calcs required most of the time depending on the location of the lift axle you will be way under the capacity of the second group of axles. When i...

I was the guy with the steerable lift axle.... I recomend a steerable when you need to locate the lift axle some distance away from the drives. The steerable will allow you to avoid tire scrub on the lift axle. I would caution you about the location of the axle controls as at least 3...

Its 67 percent now but what happens when its 50,40,30 or even 25 percent? Just another way for corporate to put pressure on you to take runs that work for them but make you nothing. I would vote with my feet and leave this carrier right away! You guys aready work for way less then I would...

If you want to see how these guys end up go to The Truckers' Report - Making Sense Of The Trucking Industry the horror stories will make you thank your lucky stars your in expedite.

no what i am saying is that when the payload is very heavy (more then most of you can or want to carry) the lift axle is used to take the weight off the front axle. i really only use it on heavy bulky loads that fill the box. i dont care what configiration you have, putting over 20k in the box...

steerable axle works by following front axle ie resistance turning is only slight about 11 to 15 degrees off of center just enough to prevent scrubing of tires uses a regular steering axle with a bar connecting both tires with shock absorbers to compensate for bump steer. see the watson...

yes it is steerable so as to eliminate tire scrub wheen rounding corners.... feel free to come on by if your still here in memphis.

I haul a fair share of sister company freight (ie Ranger) the loads are quite a bit heavier then the traditional expedite freight last load 19000# from IN to las vegas. The cost benifit ratio is nonexistant paid $3000 for the axle installed with wheels and tires more then paid for itself...

i am the guy with the truck the steerable tag is designed so i can load up to 27 K in the 24ft box without going over on the steers have 2 150 tanks so full of fuel its easy to be over with freight.

well I will chime in here...a Landstar BOC, currently in memphis. We are no doubt in the same boat as anyone here, slow freight cheap rates. Our brokers are doing their best to hold the line and try to get reasonable freight rates for us. Unfortunately all the other expedite carriers insist...

if you dont have your cdl yet forget about landstar they wont put you on without experience......try FedEx till you get your six months in then move to landstar.....been with both, landstar is by far the better company despite what all these team corporate stooges say......I dont need someone to...

KarateKid (or whomever you are...not that it matters one bit) I feel for ya bud but I have to say that if you loved it, stick with it. Get out for a bit replenish your resources and come back. The most important thing in life is to do what you like to do...material possessions come and go but...

bought mine on ebay you really do need to know what your looking at though as lift axles generally come off dumps and their usually beat to crap. Steerable or non ? air up/down? controls? currently 4 on ebay motors right now......

I dont know about that... the board has been very good to me I get fully 25 percent of my loads off the board...takes some work but most loads I take are paying at or over current expedite rates. Course I can put 27500 on my d unit which helps alot. You are incorrect about the double dipping...

RE: Is this a reasonable price for this new truck? Hello: Just out of curiosity whey a new truck when their are so many slightly used trucks out their for the taking....some of them are priced very competitively for only being around a year old....your spending lots of money here so i would...
