The super singles referred to will diminish the lower chassis weight of tractor & trailer by approximately lbs. Awfully nice of you to make quick judgement. Google DEFORMABLE KINGPIN and search images, the drawings will clearly show the only suggested alteration to the KINGPIN is made to the head, which is below the shank which the locking jaws of the tractor during rollover event when IMMINENT and out of control before the first steer tire would be forced from the road.
This will raise the center of gravity and create greater unstable vehicle. With over million miles on my rig know everything there is to know about trucking. would NEVER pull trailer that had one of these contraptions. Have nice day.

The DEFORMABLE KINGPIN would rupture during extreme tensile stress of the KINGPIN HEAD only during rollover events. Your comment of trailer, supposedly detached from tractor, approaching you at MPH would not happen.
These rollovers will continue to occur thousands of times each year and cause great financial destruction and harm and death to tractor occupants. 13.2. The flash point for fires associated with rollovers starts at the tractor with its hot engine, exhaust, and electrical sparking. Your comment of trailer, supposedly detached from tractor, approaching you at MPH would not happen. is the standard gross legal load without extra oversize & weight permits. Could happen, just not very likely. Where do you your information from?? Super singles?? wheelers to INCREASE payload capacity???
this dimished weight advantage allows the semi unit to carry that lbs. Some drivers work alone, while others have partner. am legend in my own mind. The FMCSA and NHTSA ignore this accident waiting to happen for reason, very GOOD reason!!Reply .Report Abuse.34Apr 3, 2008 Naperville Guy wrote GAS PRICES TO RISE AGAINCHICAGO APExperts are predicting minimum gas price hike of 0. 10 per gallon over the coming weekend due to fuel tanker crash in Lemont, IL. have delivered babies in my sleeper.
