The Dodge can tow all of that weight but it won't do it for very long. The freightliner will last a lot longer.

Nice truck and excellent presentation !!

Thank you 👑

I bought a single axle day cab in GA. I didn't know at what weight I needed to register the truck but since I see your scale ticket that gives me somewhat of an idea

Keep up the good work.

I appreciate it fam. I honestly know nothing about freight as I’ve only ever done cars. I also run local in the Memphis Tn area so I’m not sure on any lanes for cars either. I used to run different areas like Ga and Arkansas when I started but there’s never enough in those lanes to fill my truck so I stay local with my direct customers I have.

Nice truck!

Your welcome. I retired from YRC in 2018. Haven't looked back. I bought a Kaufman 50+6 -4 car last week. I'm exploring truck options. I like your idea.

@@craigcricket7932 congratulations on your new venture. I feel like the bigger trucks are the way to go if you’re serious about it. They’re a lot better built for what we do vs the 1 ton pickups.

Been running a single axle MV with a sliding fifth wheel and a custom 48 foot lightweight flatbed for a while. Trailer has 3 independent sliding axles all with lift. My tare weight with full fuel for tractor and trailer is only 24,000 pounds. With all three trailer axles down at 72 inch spacing I can run 77,000 pounds gross, giving me 53,00 pounds of load carry capacity. With middle axle lifted in 10 foot spread axle spacing I can do 48,000 pounds load capacity. Running with front or back axle lifted in tandem setup I can do 42,000 pounds of load capacity. Not going back to tandem axle tractor.

That’s dope! Sounds like the trailer axles gives you a lot of room to redistribute weight if needed.

Solid truck man! Overall, I think you did great! You bought something ideal for you and your business goals. Honestly, I think it’s going to last you a long time because she’s not under any strain handling that weight.

Lookin good!!!

It was leased by YRC, it was owned by either Ryder or Penske.

You are right. I bought from Ryder. Thanks for the correction.

Smart move, and freight companies serviced their equipment regularly,

You want that front axle loaded like it was for when the roads get snow covered. Nothing worst than a light steer axle when it’s slippery out. Good choice on the single. A lot of advantages and fuel economy is a big one.

Thanks, cause I'm looking 4 1 and they r hard to find . A good 1 anyway.

It is not a single axle. It is a two axle. If you look at the specs it will tell you a two axle. Still a nice truck. Steer axle, 1. Drive axle, 2.

Thank you for the compliment and you are correct. However; in the truck world trucks with one rear axle are referred to as single axle trucks. Trucks with two rear axles are referred to as tandem axle trucks. 🫡

@@vetwaytransportation it's always been two axle in the 43 years I've been in one and the 18 years prior growing up in one they were always called 2 axles. However, I have heard them called single axles all my life. I was just picking with you a little bit. All in fun.

Who wants to drive a manual anyway. automatic all the way.

Manuals are fun to drive but for business I like to keep things as easy as possible. Also studies show that automatics save more on fuel.
