The Truckers’ Report flatbed Hall of Shame.

Things that make ya go…..

 

^^^ Oh! That’s funny. Haha.

 

Is that one of those “ Your doing wrong” things?

 

Not a reitenour fan eh?

2 things,
1, cali/canada spread? Note where the shear happened, its right where the front axle mount ends, even if the wheels should have been forward, id lay money on those bolts having been loose for a while and constant slamming weakening the main beam.

2. Stepdeck? That box looks awful short to be a normal flatbed box, though i could be wrong.

3 actually. The coil package reinforcement center on *my* maximiser is actually rear of the light by 2 or 3 feet whereas he has his load centered directly on the light itself, so half the coil is actually forward of the coil reinforcement area by a ways.

 

kudos to the kid for worrying enough to ask his dad then follow the advice

The kids father must have been around the block a few times too to know that though

Don't know. Can't tell if thats a 19.5 or 22.5 rim. Its just a picture. That could be part of a slider, or steel reinforcement. See alot of that around here. Either way, its probably 45k plus coil. While most will haul them, not all will haul them everyday just because they have a " coil package " .

 

It's not a step. If it was there would be visible wheel arches on the sides of the deck under the rubrail. Also the frame rail would be significantly thinner over the rear axles compared to the rest of the deck.

 

Is your trailer a 53’? That makes sense being 2-3’ behind the center light. But if that trailer in the pic is a 48’ then I can see the place coil sticker being closer to the center light.

 

Should have gotten the "big bubba"
