{"replyTo":"","text":"It depends on you and your experience, not me and mine. Reason being, a person with 30 years of experience knows what is truck is doing, and knows how to react, someone with 6 months doesn't have that just because they haven't been in that situation yet. It's like asking a driver how the weather was on a rainy day, could say not bad, then when you drive through it, it's like a hurricane","replyToPid":0}

{"replyTo":"","text":"It depends on your load. Rule of thumb is anything under 15k, park it. It helps to slide your tandems back for stability, you want to leave some weight on them though. As stated, your the judge of your own ability.","replyToPid":0}
