Do we need a tag axle for our 24' truck in order to make money at Load1??

we do about a 50/50 split. use to be much more and no, you dont need a lift axle. as long as you can carry at least 8500/9000# you will be ok.

IF you're looking into a truck that already has a double rear axle, then great, it'll help. I don't know about putting one on, unless the truck is somewhat new, tho. But I LOVE having a class 8 with duals. 2 of the last 3 loads I got paid t/t rate to the truck. One was 14k, and the other 17k; so dispatch does know to watch for those kind of loads, if your truck is capable of hauling them.

You don't need them to make money; however, they end up being a nice bonus.

Cool thanks guys!!

Any help is much appreciated :)

Not biting at the bit to put a tag on, just making sure there is no big road block keeping us from being successful at load1.
