@seansuth u and trucker steve teach me so much in ur videos tyvm for the info u guys are the best at explaining this shit in the way that i can laugh while learn :D 

[seansuth]

@TheLargecars NP. I'm glad to share my knowledge in hopes to educate not only future drivers professionally, but thhe average lay driver who may not understand the physics of trucks.

I think I worded it wrong.What I meant was that on my scale tickets,the weight is always in 20lb. increments,like 20 40 ....They dont scale to the lb.If its like 79845 the scale ticket would read 79840.It would be nice to a extra axle.Im tagged for 85500 with a tandem hopper bottom.If I ran at 85000,I wouldnt be over gross,but would be over on axles.No problem Stay safe

[seansuth]

@agtrucker Oh... I get it now. Yeah, this is actually a government scale... they'll nail your ass if it's 1 lb over right LOL

A driver called on his CB one time in S. Dakota and said "Can somebody help me slide my tandems?" I answered " Sure! Where are Ya!"

He had the same type of old style release and engage lock rather than the type with the long lever bar. He told me it was "really tight" so I would have to pull as hard as I could. I did and it came right loose and I wound up on my butt laughing but we got them moved and he was on his way!

Great Video! Thanks

[petetrucker11]

have you ever use the automatic tandom silder?

[BubSmash]

Right on Sean another great vid bud. Remember guys make SURE you check those pins like Sean did as you the trucker are ultimately responsible for making sure things check out after you slide your trailer. Just wish I could start making some good videos myself out on the oilfields. Yet when your 92 pounds on your air guage in your truck with with 15 cube on its not something that is correct.

Thanks again for the tutorials Sean. You explained sliding the tandems better than my instructor in school did.

Thanks a million for posting these great tutorials!! I can't tell you how much I enjoy watching these. It's like having a good friend and a good instructor all at the same time!! I haven't watched them all yet but I hope you have one that makes shifting a 13 & 18 speed more understandable for a newbie.... Thanks & Be safe!
