  1. I have a 1986 Freightliner COE single axle that runs. I need it transported from Richmond, Virginia to Daleville,Penna. approximately 400 miles. Daleville is near Scranton,Penna. Can be picked up end of June. Thanks Joe Ditchkus phone # 570 954 3319 cell leave message.

  2. If you want the unladen weight of that truck I would estimate 14,000 to 15,000 pounds.GVW is weight allowed to be carried on truck. It is determined by manufacturer by combining weight ratings of axles on truck. If you want the empty weight of truck it is called unladen weight. GCW is total combined weight of truck and trailer plus load. These weights are set by manufacturer but states vary with their own weight laws.Joe D.

  3. I had the Reyco 4 spring on road tractorsin the 70'S and 80'S. It was OK for over the road use I would not recommend it for vocational work. It does not articulate as a walking beam or camelback does.It also does not evenly spread weight on tandems as well. It is relatively less expensive to fix if need be. I would buy truck with proper suspension for job. Joe D.

  4. Barry I live in Pennsylvania. In order to get legal weight on front axle of my tri-axle dump I run 315-80R22.5 on the front and lift axle not exactly super singles.They are rated for 9,000 lbs. apiece. I ran 425's in the past and never had a kingpin problem. I never heard of anyone having kingpin problems with the wide base tires and rims. That is not to say it is not possible. I do know if you do not run them and get axle weighed you will have a problem.LOL. Joe D.
