lol joe is the only one im claiming
I'm taking this as a compliment.
Fail, not even giving out handy job, at a flying J, like daddy Dall would've.

This thread is so confusing to me.
You have to go across the street to the TA to get that. 20 bucks will buy you just about anything at the TA.
Interesting trailer layout compared to here.
Our axles would be closer together for two axle. We'd have three axles with 1 and 3 in about those locations.
Either trailer axle a steerer?
Flatbeds here are usually spread axles. You are allowed more weight on individual axles versus tandems and flatbeds are usually loaded right up to that 80k pound limit. You're allowed 20k pounds on each trailer axle with a spread axle, versus 34k combined if they close together, tandem axles. The whole combination still has to be under 80k gross, but it gives some more flexibility in how the truck is loaded.

Neither of those axles steer. If you are lucky, you might have a dump valve that allows you to dump the air in the bags and take the weight off of one of the axles so that you can back more easily. I wasn't that lucky. At the company I worked for, none of the trailers were equipped with dump valves, so backing into tight spots sucked. You basically try to avoid 90° backs as much as possible because it's painful to watch if you have to. Forward trailer axles tires also wear out very quickly.

I sorta dropped my Stihl brand loyalty and bought a Finnish axe


Stihl has a Fiskars comparable axe, but they are not available in the USA.

Canada and other country's yes, but not here. Just silly I know.

That’s dumb. What’s also dumb is the Canadian Stihl dealers all get really cool clothing options from the Stihl catalog, and the US options suck - like they are designing for cidiots.

have Stihl lost their damn minds? The new USA Outfitters section has the worst merch I have ever seen 🤦🤦. I am just pissed that I cant get the Stihl mechanic shirt anymore.


Not to mention these ads with Gen Zers who look like they have never used a Stihl product in their lives.


Do better Stihl.
