I keep hearing of the infamous TTOX cars. These turds are restricted in so many ways, I don't know why they just don't send them to the scrapper. Are there many of them still running around? Why a single axle truck?

Why? - Tare weight (i.e. more weight shipped with less fuel)

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west
