I do know exactly which driver you are referring to though. He delivers up that way and is the absolute worst one out of all of them. Whats the name of your shop? I've got a meeting this afternoon and would love to bring up the subject manner to my boss to try and get the issue resolved.

barry's mom. every night.
most 24.5's are in the neighborhood of 50-75lbs each for a steel wheel. get a 14" floater wheel and its almost 110lbs. drums for the fuckers are about 110+lbs. real men (read: those with bad backs) work on big shit. this aint no pussy ass 24's on a navigator.

finesse before force. if that dont work, get a big fucking hammer.

Re: Were does everyone work
i'd rather do a super single any day of the week vs. doing skidder tires.
anyone else noticed the increasing number of super singles in this area? they used to be mainly on midwest vehicles, but there are more and more of them on fuel tankers and some tractors.

Re: Were does everyone work
i see about five daily around, most are on fuel tankers. the rest are on brewers grain trailers, and occasionally on feed trucks.
i swear i saw a portland truck (for Marshall concrete) that had them, but i may have been mistaken.
there is drawbacks, mainly if you pop a tire you are out of commission, whereas a dual setup you can still ride with one wheel on that corner. not to mention them fuckers are a goddamn bitchwhore to install.
