Congrats on the new "Rig". What's the difference in the wide trailer tires and the duallies?

various weight laws, spread or "split" tandems can legally carry more pounds per axle than close-spaced tandems. The distance between the two axles can vary if the vehicle runs within a certain state whose weight law addresses axle spacings. Not really sure about the single wider tires(I`m new to this), But my guess is that rubbing duallies from low pressure get hot and start fires. Some loads can exceed 40,000 pounds, thats a lot of weight. Singles would eliminate that. Spreading the axles evens out weight dist.

Nice!

I have my CDL-A permit, but have had to keep pushing off my road test due to injuries that keep occurring to my left arm. I need a CDL to drive our 2500HD with 25k# gooseneck.
