    No way, the new flats are full of fail. Keep the 57's or spec new ones with a rear dump and set forward axles. 57's can snake through any obstacle course. :)

    They're all just so beat up.. Rub rails dented in so you have to pound strap hooks through, stake pockets ripped up from chains, odd spool positioning, tires can be pretty ugly... I've been digging these 55's, not sure what they're numbering the newest ones but this one doesn't have the auto axle lift or the side skirts.. I loathe the trailers that automatically lift the front axle, they turn like garbage.

    With some tassels sticking out the ends of the dot bumper. :yes2557:

    Yeah, they have seen some battle and I won't miss the wiring gremlins.
    I've also had the feeling those with the auto lift are malfunctioning. It's disappointing when it's a tight fit into someplace when your loaded and then the front axle comes up to punish you on the way out.

    Not long and another Prime thread sucumbs to new guys hitting a stationary object................., lololololololololol. You guys r great!

    Oh, and BTW, I'm pretty sure there is a delivery schedule to meet, Utility better hire some more amigos down in mexico to fulfill the supply. Some "made south of the border" componets like wiring harnesses, electic generators and lights are assembled where cheap labor is needed to keep cost down.

    Ha ha. They can also use those pens to sign their unemployment checks, and fill out job applications.

    I was waiting for you to move....sitting around the paper mill (Zachary, LA). Waiting for safety, reviewing the accident.

    Driver for the pumkins, on his first day two days ago, bumps into another truck at a fuel stop and tore off a mirror. OUCH! Sounded like what the guys in your neck of the woods do on their first long run....too tired to get out n look?
