Since you're stuck running thru BC, I assume it's a 244" WB? It looks short. But it's spec'd out well for life in the northland!

Couple of questions

So how long are those two trailers? Crazy what they do above the border. Never see this in New England. What kind of weight are you rated for? I could help spend some of that cash, I'll pm you my address.

Very nice. Hope it works out for you.

looked to me I was getting around 6 but I haven't run the numbers yet as it has been idling since I got home on Monday...

twin turbo yup ...60 lbs boost

 

[Skogen]

Dang 6 pritty good. Especially if you can get that loaded...

The idle part hurts, but a fact of life, suck to freeze up and not be able to do anything except tow it in a shop and turn the heaters on it.

When I pass semis, they're usually on the phone or gazing around. Never thought one would take pics of their boost gauge. LMAO! Nice Unit you have.

yeah you are right ...my mind was up my azz ...was thinkin of the step deck I used to pull ...

Keep an eye on the turbo studs on the C-15 we had one come out easy fix other than we had to pull the whole turbo off to get to the stud. Did that at 800-1100hrs after that we never had a problem.
Do you guys cut your fuel with #1 of just run the #2 with additive???

 

[Dieselgeek]

Anybody ever seen these trailers before? Self stack themselves, seem cool to me...

 

[SNOW JW]

HAHA that would suck going through the scale shack a few times a day.

 

[Dieselgeek]

Self weigh themselves as well...

sweet

damn how many sleds can you get on that bad boy

 

[SNOW JW]

Ya but you still have to go through the DOT scale shacks.

Another trailer setup that is cool is the ones that haul the long windmill blades.

 

[Dieselgeek]

I was under the impression the computer would send the weight number to the shack, and you could keep rolling by... Sorta like prepass...

Those windmill trailers are cool.
