I just got back from a road trip to Minnesota on Monday morning, I've never spent much time in Michigan before but my first though was; Oh Man it must take 3 hours to do a pre trip on the trucks and trailers here.:hellno:

I take it you're talking about the 'caterpillar' (many, many axle) trucks.

[classictruckman]

Yeah I'm talking about most of the trailers I saw in northern Michigan, really it looks like if they could find more room on the frame they'd put another axle there, seriously they must need an extra 100hp just to haul the weight of the extra axles.

Anything not needed on a truck will fall off running on Michigan roads.

Most refer to them as a "centipede".
