Trailers that separate the men from the steering wheel holders. Post pics here

Lucien ! If you're reading this, I'm coming out to apply for work this fall ........ please disregard EVERYTHING you've read that I've ever posted ......

If that doesn't work then dinner on me at the Sawmill in Sherwood ...........

 

I've never pulled 10'1" spread tandems(or any other tandem) before starting here. When you're backing up, they like to pivot on either axle at any given time, making it a bit of a pain to back up lol. Figured they'd be just like a tridem set when backing but nope.

 

Probably a Dumb Question.....

But why are these trailers outlawed ??

Here in Australia they're as common as rsoles...

99% of all grain & the vast majority of sand/gravel would be transported in them as well.......

 

^^ people too them over too many times

 

I'll change the subject here a bit... Trailers that separate men from boys?

Any flatdeck, with a load that needs tarping. In the winter. With two 100 pound tarps. Climbing around on a load of whatever crap, with a stiff 100lb tarp.

Of all the trucking I've done, this truly has to be the worst thing for a driver.

 

A hopper load of DDG in the summer, or defat bran that was loaded hot on a humid day

 

Baaaahhhhhh ....... give me a break ...... that's easy .......


...... now if you add in the gale force wind and the wind chill ...... well then we can talk !

LOL



Joking aside, you're right .... I always loved deck work and OD ..... I hated tarping .... even an easy load of lumber .... in the summer .... I just didn't like to tarp.

 

25t of coal frozen in a quad wagon in winter.

fun shovelling.

 

70' stretched out trailers hauling sections of rail for our mass transit project. No beacons, no OD signs. Just 4 HPD escorts blocking traffic to get them around a 45 degree corner. FABULOUS! Didn't mind waiting for nice maneuvers.
