Cool you should get there in time to run down to Ohio and grab the late run to Elkhart.
It's the number of axles. NY does the same thing. The sin of it is that an 8500 lb sprinter pays the same toll as a 33k straight truck. I even got dinged for the high rate when I got on the Ohio Pike with my fan lid up. Fought it and won
The number of wheels still matter the added height and eliminated weight.. I would suppose the maintenance on scales the cost would be too high
Bring your Sun tan lotion .... been unloaded for 30 minutes and waiting for paperwork.... 102 degrees in Grand Prairie
West Virginia Turnpike is the same nowIt's the number of axles. NY does the same thing. The sin of it is that an 8500 lb sprinter pays the same toll as a 33k straight truck. I even got dinged for the high rate when I got on the Ohio Pike with my fan lid up. Fought it and won
Did that load 2 weeks ago.Louisville to bottom of Alabama. Almost to Florida state line. I think I got my jinx
You guys are on your own Wednesday, I've got my every 4 months check up and time for that pesky dot physical which I fail since I'm blind in my right eye.
If you want me to pay the same tolls and other expenses as a straight truck, pay me like one.
Straight truck guys never sat around saying we wish those van guys would buy bigger vans so they can haul 3 pallet loads.
Didn't you just say you want a cube ?
Will that pay straight truck rates ?

I don't know, but thanks for reminding me to look into that
I imagine it would depend on the number of skids and the weight. An SRW cube takes three skids, same as a Sprinter, so I should expect at least a Sprinter rate. TBH I imagine a company willing to pay straight truck rates would insist on at least a large cube, 4-6 skids, if not a dock high vehicle.
Westmicher wants to build a large cube on an under 10k Transit cutaway chassis (DRW); I'll be fascinated to see how well he does with it. He says if it works out well, he'll build a small fleet of them.
I think if I were ambitious I would just cut the transit and stretch it out 3 feetI don't know, but thanks for reminding me to look into that
