Yes sir. Drop n hook, the only thing I don't like about drop n hooks is I can't see inside to see where the load ends to set my tandems so I guessed and damn I am a good at guessing dead nuts.

Full load of water, I would say. 41 ft mark dead center over the center of the rear tandem hub.
No gauge in your truck?
I have been ballparking weights for a while. Everytime I get the green light at the scale I am like holy shit I got it right
Onetime I got it wrong and it cost me $250.00 U.S. in Ohio payable on the spot. That is like 2 thousand bucks Canadian. .

Hello drivers I am back. Have had a real difficult time last couple weeks I lost my sister September 2nd suddenly she was 56, we were very close I just happen to get a load by my house the night before and was taking my 10 she passed in the hospital. When I got back in my truck a few days later I found myself all alone and all I could do is think about her I had not seen her in 2 months makes doing this job hard lately just can't seem to get it going. She passed the same day the 2nd as my father did in 2011. She would have been 57 on September 10th.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Truck driving is truly not easy during times like these.

Will keep you and your family in my prayers
