Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

komatsu 785 rock truck box , 19' 6" wide 15' 6" high out of salt lake city to acheson alberta

 

10-4 on that! Speaking of which, that's the first I've ever seen so called 'air shields' on a flatbed.

 

What's the weight on that thing?

 

its light , only 35000 lbs

 

It will go up some as you add mailboxes and street signs...LOL

 

I have seen some running down the highway not many but I have seen them... I believe the one that comes to mind Robert Trucking (yellow trucks mostly Volvo) I could be wrong but I am pretty sure I have seen them on their Flatbed and roll tarp flatbed.. I know I have seen them on flatbeds in the GTA but very very few and far between.. I have even seen them on B-trains like what your pulling that was even more rare I think maybe 2-3 times I have seen that..

Too me on a flatbed it is kind of stupid.. In off-road they would be sure to be ripped off... Construction sides, farms etc... Heck I have even seen places where that would be ripped off on a van trailer with the angle of some docks I see... One place by one of the transfer station I know for sure they would be ripped off I have seen some Pete's with low steps and tanks that are almost touching the sidewalk at this dock location...

I have even seen these air-deflectors on a waste hauling trailer like what I haul... Just think Ontario 5 axle (1-3-1 setup) setup with 1 longer piece from landing gear to first steer axle, then 1 small piece from steer axle to front of tridem and then 1 small price from back of tridem to rear steer axle.. It was so stupid I couldn't believe my eyes.. I sure hope that it hauls grain or something to flat areas and not going into landfills they wouldn't last going into some of the places I go to.. Uneven, rut filled farm fields with a trailer rocking back and forth and sinking in mud bad combination lol..

 

Prime had a slight miss understanding of the new law in California they thought all trailers had to have side skirts effective this year so they out fitted the newer ones with them, I hope they aren't on this year's 53 footers.

 

I wonder how much having trailer skirts would help the aerodynamics of your load. Next, someone is going to try to put skirts on an RGN.
