That trailer is almost big enough for your driveway!

I backed it in with one shot, but I was sweating.

I’m mostly impressed with the fact that you didn’t have an issue with the trailer…. That thing does not get maintained. Lol

Sometimes that’s the magic potion. My dad’s has never had maintenance and it’s a 1984 model.

I checked the tire and hub temps pretty often and they all stayed very cool.

Ryan was hoping that wouldn't be the case so his trailer would get new tires and some maintenance

Have you been able to maintain the speed you wanted regardless of terrain, wind, traffic, etc...

So after this I decided to test the idea as I pulled Pequop hill Eastbound in Nevada. That's the big grade about 30 miles east of Wells, NV. I started the hill at 70 mph and held that just fine until I had to slow down to 50 for two semis at about halfway up the grade. Once they were moved over I floored it and reached 70 again a minute later. Down the other side I set the cruise at 75 and it maintained it all the way to Grantsville.

 

[Hickey]

I averaged 7.7 mpg for the entire trip. 1,850 miles.

Hard to argue for a diesel with your results.

@Hickey As a truck driver, does it piss you off when a semi pulls out I. Front of you to pass another slow semi? Asking for a friend

😂 There are certain circumstances I can understand, but most of the time truckdrivers have become selfish assholes these days. They will do it to other semi drivers as well.

It seems to me that since the need for drivers has increased, the quality of drivers has decreased. It probably falls into the category of fogging the mirror qualifications. I know that small vehicle drivers have always been less than courteous to truck drivers, but in the past the professional drivers have always maintained a level of professionalism and road etiquette. That seems less common now. I have had a couple of rigs pull right out in front of me when I am about to pass them in my motorhome. Maybe they see that it is a tractor chasis and think I don't have the HP to get past them quickly and think they have time or maybe they just don't care.

Gotta love the semi truck drag race. 🙄

 

[anderson750]

Gotta love the semi truck drag race. 🙄

I call it a slow race

 

[Pile of parts]

I call it a slow race

I've always called it the race that neither wants to win...
