    nope
    Just thought the deck looked long then saw the deck extension.
    I would have thought that you had to have a reason to put it in ( or it was not taken out after the last load).

    Yup, you win today's challenge. Along with everyone's favorite 17.5 low speed tires.

    angle of the picture made me think that the deck was at least 30'
    I estimated 12 or 14ft ahead of the 16ft load and 3 or 4ft behind.

    You thought about this a lot more than I did so I figure I owe it to you to measure so you get the correct answer.

    16' front
    15' load
    2' rear

    Trust me, we usually do! This is one of the few customers that’s smart enough to figure out a good wrap job is much better then a poor wrap job that needs to be tarped. I’m not to worried about tarping a factory machine, finished aircraft parts require a lot more effort. A single scratch is a big deal.

    'Tanks' boss for the easy load. Well one we have to babysit because it's not enough weight to calm the arch of the trailer down. Didn't want us taking to small of trailer all the way to Laredo and not have options for something to bring back. So tank babysitting it is.
    13' wide so about 14'6" for height. Tank weighs like 9000 pounds. 20200918_155952.jpg

    I got the pleasure of chauffeuring this big girl halfway across the country. 49’ in the well and just under 15’4” tall. Montana decided I wanted to stay an extra day and dropped a foot of snow on me overnight. 9DA20D95-124D-446A-B307-4152344593D2.jpeg C26A8C73-53D2-4C8E-9241-0D1012DAD90C.jpeg FB4BBF13-231D-417A-8D82-2BF00DDDD47C.jpeg E5B06603-0695-40D9-A999-9C8FCF2C2361.jpeg
