Southeast Washington | Only our one semi International with sleeper has low pros. The rest are 11R tires. It will pull its 44 foot tri-axle trailer up hills better than our Western Star day cab will pull its 48 foot tri-axle with 24.5 tires will. Just so many fields you can't get too that we may even carry grain out 3 miles to haul if we want to even keep the trailers on the straight trucks. One field we have to haul fertilizer in 5 miles a it is 1500 feet higher in elevation and looking into the canyon stops haulers from trying. Our terrain basically only allows us to use straight trucks to haul supplies so we have no trailers set up for them other than hauling grain.
Hauling grain when it is good and dry and being able to drive out ridges to different fields is whole different animal than trying to get there in the spring and target where we need to go and can't drive across growing crops. Our farm varies 2,000 feet in elevation so our area isn't conducive to semis. Weight on the drivers is king and not dragging dead weight around. | |
