Do you detractors run up to every tag/pusher axle equipped heavy truck you see and help save them from the disaster equipment that’s about to fail them?
Explanations of how more axles with brakes under a load is a hazard are welcome.
For the record, I think this is a pretty cool invention for some applications and the inventor seems to have done his homework. However, the example you cite of commercial trucks with drop or tag axles isn't really relevant to this product. Commercial trucks use drop or tag axles to meet axle or bridge weight laws, not because the truck itself can't handle the load otherwise. Most drop axle trucks are designed to be within design limits for all components fully loaded even with the drop axles up. The drop axles are just to make the truck legal.
