    Dumb question from a door swinger but here goes.. I can't find a picture to show you what I'm talking about, but every now and again, I see deadhead flat with maybe 8-10 tall vertical poles mounted in a straight line down the center of the deck. No A-frame or anything just the pipes. So what is the purpose of these? I imagine that the trailer is dedicated to one type of freight but can't figure out what.

    Seen them around also, just can't place the lds. Thinking fencing but that doesn't sound right

    It's a mobile strip club, but you have to wait till the music starts to see the show.

    Turn your radio up as you pass, see what happens.

    Nope. These steel pipes are in a straight line, dead center of the deck running front to back. They are usually pretty bent up and on some beat up trailers. No spreads just tandems or at least the ones I've seen. Not like that helps but it's all I really know. I'm still looking for a picture to help

    They try to haul steel framing studs with them, the new 2 by 4s it keeps them from leaning when hauling hi stacked bundles?
