    And that's with my flip down - so 53' of trailer. I have a short wheel base tractor so I can go to BC if someone pays me enough. Sucks because no room to add a lift axle.

    Good deal Ron.
    Still no loads for this trailer down here, surprise surprise. 45,500 MT weight doesn't help though. 3 axle stretch RGN working against me here.
    Found a load from Cat in LR to Ks, which would work if they had a machine ready to ship in Ks. Otherwise wont be worth the time to do it.

    Still trade you, hope it comes together for cat load. I know when I go to load out of Phoenix in a week it's gonna be bad. I had to eat 500 mile D/H last week from FL

    We have 3 trucks out there now mate. One went to the proving grounds for JD, the other two went to Empire in Mesa IIRC.
    Looks like a bad January for RGN's etc for sure. Kind of like 2 or 3yrs ago, when every load was a 3-400 mile bounce, after sitting for a day or two.
    best of luck for next week, hopefully something breaks free at the end of this week! The Leavenworth load would be fine, if they had a machine ready. They get the new graders in, then fit them with snow wings and V plows for the NW and Alaska, pays good.

    They pulled me inside. I got untarped, rolled them and put everything away and they still haven't touched it yet. I should have know this $700 was going to have to be made the hard way lol. Hopefully I can get a spot at the J because that's the only place around here. Might have to get creative tonight :p
