Reply:Good luck, hope it works out.  Looks like they need to invest in TANK carts. Boy, I haven't seen tanks just standing unsecure in a long long time. Be careful.
Reply:Congrats Neil, I hope it all works great for you. I'm guessing any shop would be lucky to have you.If you don't want to stand behind our Troops, feel free to stand in front of them.

Reply:Very nice work!I've got a question that always comes to mind when I see OTR trucks from other countries....Why is everything a tri-axle?   I realize you don't have the stupid 80k max load that we have in the states...but is that the main reason?Miller Syncrowave 200MillerMatic 180 AutoSetHobart Airforce 500iVictor O/A (80cf)

Reply:Thanks Steve all good over here how  you and yours going still using that bottle holder 700r is a weight thing over here our max is 42.5 tons or 85000 pounds  for a single truck and trailer with the tri axle dolly I think they can get an extra 5 or so tons when set up as a road train which would add up to a few more bucks per load I have noticed from shows I have watched on trucks over there is you guys can run 53 ft trailers on singles here we can only run at max 48 ft  but then the truck and trailer have to be no longer than 62 Thanks zapCreative metal Creative metal Facebook
