progress of my freightliner FL60

I'm sorry to mislead. i do understand the super single vs dually vs tandems. I meant to say that even when I used to run small trailers behind a pickup, I would buy trailers with more tires (on separate axles) than they really needed, because of stability not weight. those single axle...
