EC's Going For It

[Duck]

The **** would I know?

You got a pic where one could count said legs?

Wasn't @Sinister crazy about some 'pede movie?

Boy has no taste.......

Them things they run up in Michigan that are pretty much just a 70 foot long line of axles...

I ain't gonna take my eyes off the road long enough to count them but I'm gonna just say they have 100 axles.

 

[mndriver]

If you are gonna count axles, be sure you have it correct.

Paraphrasing........

Mad respect for those guys is all. And when you see one on the side of the road 40 miles off the interstate, not where you expect to find them.

Seen three more yesterday in the oak ridge TN area. Knowing there's some pretty heavy industry there makes sense. Just don't expect to see them in cotton country AR.

I'll make sure I ask for your permission to post in the future.


21,000 net load is still a long way from 35,000#

Nobody ever said anything about a 35k net so what's your point?

I'm talking the huge gantry trailer

 

[mndriver]

That's 2019 and it has 70 more lb-ft of torque than 2018 so some of the weights are a little higher and it doesn't account for installed options on a truck by truck basis, BUT if you look at the second to last chart, very bottom, that's basically my truck.

Says right there, 34,130lb trailer. Why mndriver don't believe mine is rated at 30,320lbs with 70 less torque, I'll never know.

You did

 

[Electric Chicken]

Um no, I didn't. You're making stuff up. I'm not arguing with you anymore because you're clearly not even reading my words as written.

Yeah I know. I saw the picture.

I also assumed you said 13 axles instead of 12 because typically the power unit on something like that, and probably most of the ones you saw the other day had floaters on them.

Just remember seeing four groups of three and know there's a steer.

No arguing those guys is true heavy haul.

43000 gcvwr

9600 truck
11,000 trailer (his number)
20,600# tare

22,400 # net

Or else my math is just wrong

I'm sure the car is sitting on its bump stops and the load is balanced perfectly on the trailer. The truck may not even have a drivetrain. But I want to see what happens when the car makes a sudden stop.

I'd like to see what it's trans fluid temperature looks like.

So basically I wasted 50 grand.

Yep. All you need is a 6 cylinder crossover SUV.
