You guys are old, I live on pilings.
I'm up and down the stairs 40 times a day when I can't get mama to wait on me.

You're still going up and down that many times just to count your Mason Jars over and over?

I thought you lived on squirrel gravy?

It doesn't count when you take a 20 minute nap after each trip.

i think it's more a function of wheelbase than tandems vs. single axle, although single axle is still more suitable for P+D.

But really it's more than just tandem vs. single: Road tractors have the side fairings/airfoil on top, both of which are a hindrance for p+D and uneccessary for P+D. In a lot of cases, the hood tends to be longer.

We run twin screws for linehaul, but since I drive an 80K single I take mine when I do weekend runs... long as I know Im pullin pups both ways that is

I dont like pullin sets with a tandem. Seems more twitchy

I miss my 20 minute naps on the steering wheel with a Series 60 Detroit lullaby in the background.

We had a few when I was in Pottstown. DT-466 IH motor, and a straight 5 speed. they were pathetic on a hill.
They were only GVR'd at 51,000#, over that was daily...

Yeah, and no A/C... So I don't blame p&d for wanting to take a road tractor... As long as it wasn't mine.
