Don't know what a Rgn trailer is but yes. Easy job. Just repetitious stuff. At least the ones I pulled was. -------______------ double drop lol
-
ah ok, cool. i got a job offer pulling double drop trailers.
-
An RGN is a removable gooseneck. Can either be mechanical, air assist or hydraulic.
-
And yeah, it's an easy job till you gotta tarp the 15' high, 17' wide piece they just slung onto your wagon.

jaytee are they similar is operaton RGN and double drop?
-
No. Dd are usually flats. Rgn is a lowboy. All dd means is it has two drops. One in front the other in back. ---___--
-
oh ok, so its just a lower step deck?
okiedokie Thanks this. -
An RGN comes apart so you can drive vehicles on it from the ground. However, there are trailers that look similar but do not come apart, these are double drops. They are both useful for tall freight but to haul a vehicle on a double drop you have to drive it off the back or use a ramp to drive it off the side.

A double drop will have landing gear.
A RGN has a removable neck..
