So guys are buying hybrid 8,000lb axles, but they're not getting it. Josh, tell me about it, will you? >> So this is your standard 7,000lb axle. Okay, >> that's industry standard rated for 7,000. Rated to stop it. We move on up. We go to an 8,000lb. You can see noticeably difference. The the hub is bigger. The braking components are bigger. Axle tubes bigger. Everything's bigger in this axle. Oil bath as well. Then you run to a 10K, you just keep on going up bigger and bigger. This one is a torsion axle. So you got torsion ride, spring ride on that uh rubber ride. So that's the difference of what you do. But when you say hybrid, people are just taking this axle and putting different studs on it essentially and calling it an 8,000lb. >> So really all they're doing is putting these studs in that axle. Then they're not upgrading the actual braking components or the tubular part of it as well. why we use Dexter axles, you know, cuz they don't do that. This is the number one brand that you can buy as far as putting under your under your trailer. So, you look at all of these axles and we looked at the trailers and it's kind of like, what would you rather ride on? >> True. And this is all you use in the Rice trailers. >> 100% Dexter. 100% Dexter. >> And that's why. All right. Thanks, Josh. Appreciate it. Rice trailers, guys.
