Im pretty sure I saw one of your rigs runnin into Houston a few weeks back. Maybe 3-4 weeks ago, headed "Inbound" on HWY 290 right before 610 between 330-430 in the PM. Didnt have a chance to snap a pic but the rig was one of yalls, trailer was LONG and empty.... wish I coulda gotten a pic!!

And yes, these rigs are CLEAN!

Are you guys running 255's on the drives. 295's up front? And if so whats the reasoning behind this?

We run 255's all the way around the truck and trailer on my grandpa's trucks for a couple reasons. 1, a set of dual 255's mounted on aluminum wheels are lighter than a super single on an aluminum wheel. 2, it takes a lot of stress off the axle as a smaller wheel takes less tourque to turn. 3, they are cheaper and easier to change. And finally 4, they look cooler! The only downside is that the tire rating on the front axle with 255's is only 11,300 pounds, that is why most people run 295's on the steer axle. Most of our trailers are spread axles though so we don't worry about it. All you have to do is throw some high gears in it and make sure you don't hit your tanks on the ground when you back into a steep loading dock and your good to go!

Yes we run 295s on the front of the semi's to max them out, can't with 255's up front because of the weight rating. The truck and trailers have 255's all around because they only run about 10,500 on the front end when their maxed out.

Don't have any O/O thats a company truck. There are 6 of them now. I was against ordering them but they turned out pretty nice for a T660! haha. They are the first T660s with no fairings and the stacks in-between the cab and sleeper, instead of behind the cab. Where was that pic taken?
