I like the old Louisville trucks I learned on a LTL tandem with the 1000lb hood man they are heavy. The old Louis with the short hood they turn good the only problem is with a 400 Big cam the engine is sitting beside you a little noisy and in the summer a sweat box.

In Montreal tandem tandems are really common more common than anywhere else in Canada. We can't use tandem tandems here you will never beable to get into our construction sites. There is one tandem tandem mixer in the area it can't get into anywhere.
tamdam -tamdam work well. here we have three kinds of tamdam-tamdam.first is two solid front axle independant of each other. these trucks dont turn becauce the axles are to close together.the second is the same as the first but have a balancing arm bettween each other and the axles are far apart so it turns very well . the third is a front solid axle wiht leaf springs and the second is a steerable donkey axle.to get that extra turning capability you lift the axle up and become a 10 wheeler.no 14 wheelers alowwed here.quebec says that we invented the 12 wheeler system and dont want any compition from other manufactors so no-one gets layed off and the tax money stays here.

You should see what they use in Alberta they take a tridrive truck and put tandem axle steers. Now thats a truck that doesn't steer. You have a stock tridrive with 3 drive axles and tandem steer.
