Re: Odd sight on a semi cab: super-singles all round?
Biggest thing I remember about SS from when I worked at a trucking company was that a set of duals on a truck was 400lbs lighter than duals. Which meant an extra 400lbs of cargo they could haul. I never saw that place run SS on fronts, just drives and trailers. I seem to remember they were a few hundred $ less per truck as well, which in a company that had over 2k trucks starts adding up quick.
Most of the truckers I talked to didn't like them, little bit or rain or snow and they could plane real bad. If they lost one on the road, #1 you couldn't limp to next town #2 at the time not many tire shops carried them so wound up waiting for replacement. Had a grain truck at the farm the other day with SS on, he couldn't get anywhere, where as the dual tire trucks could drive right where needed.
