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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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

That’s dope! Sounds like the trailer axles gives you a lot of room to redistribute weight if needed.
Do you think a low profile 4 car hauler can make some money with a similar truck ? Love the videos keep em coming big dog !!!
Definitely! And will pull it like it’s nothing.
I appreciate the support 💪🏽👑
Smart man. Thank you.
I appreciate it. Thanks for tuning in 🫡

What are you averaging on fuel economy empty and loaded?
Loaded I’m averaging 7 mpg.. Because I’m local I don’t ever drive enough miles empty to get an average.
It was leased by YRC, it was owned by either Ryder or Penske.
You are right. I bought from Ryder. Thanks for the correction.

Golden advice! Thank you for that! 🫡

Thanks for inquiring.. coming soon my friend 🫡

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.

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.
Do need a class a or b

Class A my friend
