    Finally have the trailer in my possession. However when they were shrink wrapping yesterday and started using the blue tape on this clear shrink I told them "in my limited experience" that the blue doesn't work with this material. I was told it works fine, that's the way they always do it. This morning there's 3 guys redoing EVERY piece of blue tape because it all fell off overnight. But I don't know what I'm talking about, I'm just a driver (laughing at them).

    Oh and it's 19' 6" wide, 65' long.

    They don't. The only "issue" with them is the breakaway KW mirrors will not stay with the extensions. We've had to run stainless steel hose clamps around them to keep them from folding back and slapping the extended mirror into the side of the sleeper (and the subsequent stop for an underwear change and mirror replacement)

    I think this qualifies for long, wide, fat and UGLY!

  7. Can I be an "oiler". OK. I'll grease all the fittings. I'll make my Pete into a pusher truck. .

    Dang. That is a nice trailer setup. And. @Rontonio same applies to your setup.

    I want to melt this box down for open deck parts.....

    Here's a size comparison! In front is a peice my company's hauling. In behind is a peice mammoets moving. 1 truck pulling, 4 pushing.

    Helped move 2 of these last week, night moves from South Houston to LaPorte Tx. 7-1/2 hours to make 21 miles. Patience is truly a virtue on these.
