    I used to haul them in my side kit all the time.
    The rates dropped when they started loading them on flatbeds because they can haul more weight.
    I haven't hauled them since.

    took a load into them from boise, next week hauled a load out to florida.

    seems one of the faster joints to unload and load. didn't have any problems with them.
