    In that part of town about the same. The way that they are advertising the containers is Modern construction.

    What's with the singled out axle in the back? Got any pictures of the securement? Not that I really ever need to haul tacked slinkies but it'd be good to know just in case.

    I thought about grabbing a picture before tarping this load but I didn't. I've posted secured untarped slinkies on here before but those pictures have been backed up and deleted off my phone but I can try digging for them if I have a few minutes.

    The axle with single tires is used in MI where they allow only 39,000 lbs on a tridem. Simply put, we aren't exceeding any equipment ratings when we have 39,000 lbs between the three axles, and it saves weight not to carry two extra rims and tires but of course we need duals on the tandem to run 40,000 lbs on it in Ontario.

    Some companies don't even run a 3rd axle on their pups. One company I know of puts the exact same weight on their tandem pups, they must be overweight and not know it. I know I would be without dropping my lift (same load, same placement on trailers).

    By the way, the suspension front and rear is dumped in the picture. We don't run the 1st axle on the pup down in Ontario (or anywhere else except Michigan).

    Eh next time if you remember would be great. Don't go through a bunch of effort to find the old ones. Besides I'm sure someone has a picture somewhere.

    I think there was a thread about slinkies while back that I posted in, as well as this thread a long time ago.

    They might have a sliding axle on the pup Dye. Just do it when they enter Mi or they just like to live dangerously lol

    Dropped the company trailer today. Bobtailing back to OKC tomorrow. Straps, bungies, and edge protectors are stacked on the passenger seat. I took the best of the dunnage I bought with the truck and secured it to the catwalk.

    Sunday will be getting my trailer set up, it also comes with complete dunnage and securement, so now I have more than plenty. Doing a lease option on the trailer I had been pulling for 18 months. The owner is retasking his truck to haul gravel. IMG_20170120_172519870.jpg
