No it is no your imagination. It takes more to turn the spread. Glad you are doing OK.

Bo will drive LA before NY or any other major East coast city. You just have to know when to get into and out of LA.

Ontairo TA is the last place I would have spent Christmas....but i know you really didnt have a choice in the matter. Make the best of it and have a Happy holiday!! :wink:

Got me a load from Barstow to Albequerque,...so looks like X-mas eve in,.........Flagstaff!!! My favorite town on the whole planet. I deliver 12/26 after 2 p.m. so looks like a little winter hike in Flag is due
Oh,..by the way 20,000lbs no tarp $1.60per mile after dh miles of 63.

Did you check the freight for the hole you are going to?? The freight there usually is really bad.

Glad you get to spend Christmas somewhere nice though!!

I try to turn wide all the time with a 10'-1" spread. It hurts me to watch a driver do otherwise.

I ended up Fresno to Grand Junction for $1.95 per mile 215 mile dh, which brought me down to $1.60,...but I was happy to move out of Ontario CA. Also the broker has a run from Fruita (4 miles from the drop) to San Diego for $2.05 per mile,...looks like its back to So Cal for me.

And yes,...I turn and use every damn inch I can,...if I need it of not,..I hate the way that front tandem pulls the tires under.


Big tank ,not tarp, loaded and secured in 30 minutes


Ah,...Utah in the Winter

Have a safe trip :wink:

Hey Dog House Maybe your trailer has a dump valve on it. It will be a electric solinoid in between the leveling valve and the rear air bags.

If you happen to have one and it is wired to the 7 pin plug you will just have to get power with a switch to your receptical in the back of your sleeper.

If not, once you get home it would only take you a few hours to get one hooked up and cost less then $100.00 for solinoid, fittings, wire and switch. IH has a switch marked Trailer Aux. if you want your dash looking original.

Your trailer will corner allot better and save your front axle's tires.
