Cat,
Nice looking Truck.
It's a pretty ingenious way to store the spare tire mounted on the frame like that in front of the lift axle !!

BTW......why did you buy a quad-axle when I see a tri-axle in one of the pics ??

Oops, I missed post #6.
What I am trying to figure out is why other companies will only hire quads and not tris. I thought maybe the quads could haul more.

If the numbers in post #6 are accurate that you posted, a big company around here O&G Industries run tri-axels that haul more than what your claiming.

What size motor are in your trucks. I know down south, they run 4 and 5 axle trucks with small motors. Of course, there are no mountains to pull there like here in PA.
