I posted this pic in a thread old school started and out of respect for him and not hijacking his thread I thought I would show it here. This picture shows an electrical house that will run the plant I'm on. It weighs about 200,000 lbs. It was built in Washington and trucked to Phoenix. The combination is as follows. Kenworth day cab , flatbed trailer 16' wide with 10 sets of tandems , that's 80 tires just on the trailer. It also had another tractor, KW also, with a push bar. The push truck had counterweights over the drives.
The route was 1400 miles and total length was about 210' with push truck. It truly was a sight. Wish I had gotten a better picture, but this plant does have a strict camera policy.
Day Cab:
A tractor which does not have a sleeper berth attached to it. Normally used for local routes where drivers go home every night.
Tandems:
Tandem Axles
A set of axles spaced close together, legally defined as more than 40 and less than 96 inches apart by the USDOT. Drivers tend to refer to the tandem axles on their trailer as just "tandems". You might hear a driver say, "I'm 400 pounds overweight on my tandems", referring to his trailer tandems, not his tractor tandems. Tractor tandems are generally just referred to as "drives" which is short for "drive axles".
