Yes there is a 90 day ag exempt for those guys. I won’t qualify.

Oh really? I read it as ag commodities, it didn't specify livestock.

Ag commodities yes, I don’t haul ag stuff that qualifies.
I mainly haul pet food ingredients.

I'm set for the next serval years at least.. thought about Dot cop, RN tend to make alot of $$, there are definitely days I'd like to park the truck for sure

A deal came to me, and I’ll know the fine print later this week. If it turns out to be what they were thinking, it’s gonna be kinda hard for me not to switch. However I was tired of switching jobs a long time ago.

This deal will make life a WHOLE lot easier with elogs coming into play and likely make me like driving again. More money, home more, and way easier and better work but we’ll see how things shape up when I know more.

Sounds good, hopefully it comes in for you.

Are these of any interest to anybody?






If you want one you get all, make me an offer if interested.

I would but got the electronic version of what I got

Tires and brakes are the only savings unless it doesn’t lift high enough and they scuff.

On one of my 4 axles I have lifts on the front 3 and have another lift kit for the 4th I haven’t been motivated enough to install. Lifting the 4th to help fit on scales but I have friends that do it in case of a flat. Hendrickson under beam lift is $300 and valve is around $100. Tire on the road is double that plus down time.

Neway lift is like $1600

Everything I've been looking at has been intraax, which is the only reason I was even considering it. It'd be nice to lift the front 2 and get a little more weight ahead when it's empty on bad roads and itd be nice to lift the back 2 to get out of tight places, it'd shorten 10'1" so that would make a big difference.

Depends on the trailer but most tri axles pivot in the centre when you turn so you’d only be gaining half the suspension length. Our lowbeds seem to track more to the rear axle which makes it even worse. Lifts are nice but they need to lift high enough like said so don’t destroy tires on bumps in hwy. less drag on hwy and less wear and tear on rubber and brakes. Can save money.

Can you PM what models that Funk manual covers?

Thanks

Seen lift bags/axles plumbed two ways
1 suspension air (10-20psi) what most trailers run empty
2 system/tank air (100-125psi)

Seen auto lifts/drop that are combo setup, drops the lift axle when non lift axle goes over a set PSI in the suspension.

Seams like the suspension air wouldn't be enough to firmly plant the axle up and allow it to bounce especially with low trailers

It has a lot to do with what type of suspension. My flat has aant on the front axle and aanl on the liftable rear axle. If you go aant on both axles you save a ton of weight but can only lift in unloaded condition and even then the lift axle tires might scrub. Axle spread obviously plays a larger role. Having the front axle lift instead of rear works in your favor. I did a rear lift to get into my parents easier when i want to work on the trailer.

You want tank pressure to the lift bags.
