The steer is 9,400 hooked up unloaded it was 10,960. I can still put on 500 lbs in fuel and it will get a 500 lb lead counter weight I built that will fit just behind the bumper.Looking good, Did you scale the steer axle before and after hooking up?
It has mostly to do with insurance plus if you start towing other peoples stuff if you need your own truck it inevitably will be gone or someone wants their motor home towed.Yeah Truck Shop , Any chance of the owner letting you use the truck to haul in customers outside of the company ?
Local type guys that have trouble on the road or other trucking companies . Seems like it would pay off quicker ?
You said a mouth full. In order to do any recovery you have to have traffic control and in Washington St you have to be on State Patrol rotation and your rig has to have a 35 ton boomI getcha on the company breakdown tow rig, was just curious about the axle weights. And like you said, if it needs winching it's gonna be in impound long before you get there.
Yeah gotcha Truck Shop .It has mostly to do with insurance plus if you start towing other peoples stuff if you need your own truck it inevitably will be gone or someone wants their motor home towed.
And I want nothing to do with too many after hours calls. Every time one of our trucks breaks down it costs the company 6 to 7K in lost revenue when there along way off.
What we have in this truck equates to the price of a new Ford King ranch diesel pickup, 65K. And all you have with the pickup is a pickup. IMO.

I did not know that WSP rotation does not allow mechanicals anymore. Nothing like forcing people to buy half million dollar rigs I guess.You said a mouth full. In order to do any recovery you have to have traffic control and in Washington St you have to be on State Patrol rotation and your rig has to have a 35 ton boom
and no mechanical wreckers plus you have to have a fenced impound yard and post a huge bond. The rules go on and on.
