RE: Amazing facts



One cannot assume equal distribution of weight on eighteen wheels when
doing this analysis. Drivers will slip the rear tandom up under the trailer
as much as they legally can. This puts less weight up front on the
tractor and makes it easier to handle. This is one reason for the special
division fo the Department of Transportation (DOT) which has troopers on
the highways to check trucks for total weight and also weight distribution.
