I can't see a logical reason to reduce an OTR 18 wheeler to a ten wheeler. uh uh.
I had suggested them to the equipment manager at work last year and he laid a good example down for me to vote against them.
He said to me that since I am in Northwestern Ontario in the summer, (there is often 50 or so miles between one horse towns and no shoulders to speak of), where would I park the truck if it was on S Singles and got a flat? That was all the convincing I needed.
